WASHROOM BACTERIA Airdri, a designer and manufacturer of hand dryers, has added a new air purifier unit to its portfolio to help tackle washroom bacteria and eliminate odours.


Complementing its range of hand drying solutions, the Airdri Air Purifier uses custom thermal convection technology to kill airborne and surface bacteria and viruses, eliminating the bad odours they cause, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.


Offering both odour and infection control, the unit is ideal for use in busy washrooms. Its compact profile means it can sit discretely in the top corner of a washroom, yet can service the entire space, covering a floor area


of up to 30m2 .


With minimal maintenance and low energy consumption of 10w, the Airdri Air Purifier is a green solution for providing constant sanitised washroom air.

Failure to combat climate change within your organisation can damage your reputation and restrict your profits as increasingly climate-conscious


customers go looking for greener businesses. Not only will site efficiency contribute to combatting climate change, but it will also demonstrate your corporate social responsibility and cut costs.


Some of the things you can do to reduce your overheads and your environmental impact include:

“The Airdri Air Purifier kills both surface and airborne bacteria, removing the unpleasant odours that they bring with them. The unit processes contaminated air in the purifying chamber, emitting an efficient cleaning agent. Other solutions, which may feature a HEPA filter or have an antibacterial coating, only clean the area immediately surrounding the dryer.”
