SMART HAND DRYERS HELP SAVE ENERGY AT THE CLOCK TOWER


SANCTUARY Mitsubishi Electric Jet Towel Smart hand dryers have helped manage energy bills at The Clock Tower Sanctuary, Brighton's only day centre specifically for homeless young people. Further benefits include their quiet operation, which is helping maintain a calming atmosphere.


The Jet Towel Smart is a new 'hands- under' dryer based on the globally successful 'hands-in' Jet Towel Slim,


is the first to be compostable, biodegradable and FCC approved (Food Contact Clearance)


In addition, this new cleaning wipe is the first to be compostable, in accordance with the DIN EN 13432 2000-12 standard as tested by an external laboratory, and carries the seedling logo, granted by DIN-Certco.

featuring Mitsubishi Electric's quality build, high performance and energy efficiency. Using only 490–780W of power, it dries hands from only nine seconds, activating the instant hands are placed under it. It is ultra quiet, running at only 58-62dB, and is very compact.


An antimicrobial material is used, giving enhanced hygienic properties, while a filter separates dust and particles from the air before it is blown onto users' hands.


The Clock Tower Sanctuary provides both crisis support services and one- to-one support to help young people move into training, employment and independent living. It is a friendly, bright, centrally-located, safe space that allows young people to engage with their peers, the volunteer team and visiting agencies. Its clients have access to food, showers, laundry, computers and telephones, while medical and dental visits and other help can be arranged.

Towel for donating such fantastic hand dryers. They have made an instant impact, helping create a hygienic and inviting ambiance in the centre."


The Jet Towel Smart's quiet operation helps with this, while their silver colour looks modern and non-institutional. Their speed of drying belies the small amount of electrical power they use, and there are further savings because the charity does not have to buy paper towels or launder textile ones.


The moving-on services include one-to-one case-working, mentoring and skills development. For these to be effective a calm and relaxed environment is needed, which the quiet Jet Towel Smart dryers help maintain.


With such high levels of homelessness in Brighton – double the national average – the demand on the centre is high. At the busiest times, there is a temptation to not dry hands thoroughly, which can potentially increase bacterial spread. The Jet Towel Smart's speed of drying means users rarely fall into this trap.
