TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION - ADVERTORIAL Vent-Axia launches Smart High-Speed Hand Dryer
The sleekly designed Tempest SmartDry provides quiet, efficient drying with low power consumption of 700 – 1000W and a short drying time of just 10 to 15 seconds. It is also one of the quietest fast hand dryers available as its patented noise-cancelling technology minimises sound generation. Its clever air inlet design uses a narrowed air inlet of cover and back plate to maximise sound wave cancellation, delivering noise levels as low as 70dBA at 1m. “The unique, intelligent Tempest SmartDry is the next generation of hand dryer, providing users with cleaner air and a more hygienic, quieter hand dry. Add to that easy install and maintenance and the smart LED indicator which quickly and easily shows its operation and maintenance status and you have a great choice for both users and facilities managers,” said Tiry Cheng, Product Manager at Vent-Axia.

Vent-Axia is committed to helping improve indoor air quality, health, and comfort in buildings. The Tempest SmartDry aligns with this commitment since it hygienically drys hands and helps to protect users against winter colds and flu. This is thanks to the built-in HEPA filter that removes over 99.9% of dirt, dust and pollen from the air passing through, as well as the innovative antimicrobial cover. The cover is infused with silver ions which eliminates bacteria and f ingerprints and has over 99.9% proven anti-bacterial efficacy against Staphylococcus aureus a nd Escherichia coli.
Easy to install, service and maintain the Tempest SmartDry features a plug-in back plate and smart LED indicator. The wall-mounted back plate allows the dryer body to be quickly and easily attached and detached without the need for an electrician, making hand dryer maintenance work much easier. A fixing template card is included in the packaging to make fixing the back plate straightforward too. Furthermore, airspeed, sensor range and power output can all be adjusted easily with a Phillips screwdriver without the need to dismantle the dryer from wall, with an airspeed range of 63-91 m/s and a sensing distance range of 15-19cm. Meanwhile the Tempest SmartDry keeps facilities managers informed too with its intuitive, colour-coded, smart LED indicator which displays operation and maintenance status to allow continued optimisation of performance. Four LED colours define the hand dryer’s status: white - ready to use; green - in operation; red - remind of replacing HEPA filter; and blue - remind of replacing motor brushes.
The extremely compact dimensions of the Tempest SmartDry (D130 x W184 x H296mm) make it easy to install in restricted spaces.
