A Vortex Ltd a national Green Specification approved manufacturer and supplier of patent protected, ultra energy efficient hand dryers has now reduced the power consumption of its range.
The Vortex hand dryer is the greenest high speed (sub 10s power dry) warm air dryer, operating at a total power consumption of just 700W; under half the power of nearest comparable competitor model. With a 97% cost saving against paper towels, Combine this with the lowest Total Cost of Ownership of any high speed dryer on the market and you have an unbeatable drying solution. Syed Ahmed, CEO SAVortex “The total ethos of the SAVortex hand dryer is minimum energy use without loss of effectiveness. Our hard work to improve energy efficiency and produce the greenest quietest and fastest dryer is paying dividends. We are now the no1 preferred supplier for Interserve Ltd, one of the world's foremost support services and construction companies.” So why is the Vortex Hand Dryer so special? It is unique patented spinning air technology breaks water on the surface of hands more rapidly, delivering low cost, fast, quieter drying. This spinning
technique creates a ‘curve’ of warm air, similar to how an aeroplane wing curves up at its end in flight, that naturally feels warmer due to the wrap-around effect. In a high traffic washroom, SAVortex dryers pay back instantly. For more information call 0207 847 4091, email

Chesapeake proves there’s no barrier to innovation

hesapeake is currently developing a number of speciality barrier coatings that offer moisture vapour, flavour and grease proof properties. These
barrier coatings, which can be applied to a range of packaging formats, are being developed by Chesapeake’s Research & Development team. They aim to provide improved performance over existing solutions and more environmentally considerate options. Improved grease barriers are being demanded by food producers especially for dried pet-foods which often have oil content in excess of 10%. Traditionally, a substantial layer of plastic has been applied to cartonboard to facilitate its use in many barrier applications but both brand owners and consumers are now seeking more environmentally considerate solutions. Chesapeake is developing a technique to apply a special grease-resistant coating to the reverse of a range of cartonboard types. The technique allows the application of coatings that are not typically applied at the board mill during production. For more information visit
