Mitsubishi Electric set the gold standard in hand dryer technology
Introducing Jet Towel™ with Wave Hygiene Technology from Mitsubishi Electric. Our most technologically advanced, efficient and hygienic solution for hand drying to date.
Jet Towels vs Paper Towels
Paper towel dispensers have long been in use, however they are costly, high maintenance and require continual waste management in order to prevent a build-up of bacteria. Studies have shown that bacteria can multiply up to 1000 times on damp towels and surfaces if left unattended.
The use of paper towels poses a number of other issues, including the risk of blockages when not correctly disposed of as well as the reality that can easily run out if stock levels are not maintained. This makes them not only a more labour intensive option but considerably less hygienic if users are unable to dry their hands.
The continued use of paper towels is also of great environmental concern. It is estimated that globally, paper towels result in 254 MILLION tons of landfill every year and that 17 trees are chopped down for every ton of paper towels made. In this way, the overall carbon emissions produced throughout the lifecycle of a paper towel has a devastating impact on our environment.
In contrast, electric hand dryers can reduce running costs by up to 97%, require minimum maintenance and produce zero waste. They are the hand hygiene solution for the modern world.
Our recycling technologies recover up to 70% of plastic for use in new products, further protecting the environment for future generations.
No Water Mess
A drain tank safely contains water for easy cleaning at the end of the day. No water running down the walls or pooling on the floor.
Quick dry time
The Jet Towel® uses two 237 mph sheets of air to wipe water from hands in only 10 seconds.
Quiet
The Jet Towel® operates from 56dB the lowest of any high-speed dryer, the unit provides additional flexible parameters to suit each client’s expectations. Feedback from trials continually rates the Jet Towel® as the quietest and quickest dryers around.
Energy efficient
The Jet Towel Slim requires only 1250 watts to dry hands quickly and the Mini uses only 890 watts. Both dryers heat air to a comfortable 95 degrees using less energy than comparable dryers to keep environmental impact at at minimum.
Clean
Other dryers remove water from hands only to spill it directly onto the wall and floor, creating a messy, unsanitary, and potentially hazardous environment. The Jet Towel’s® innovative drain tank safely collects all water for quick disposal.
Environmentally friendly
One paper towel dispenser used 200 times per day creates 1,800 pounds of paper towel waste each year. By removing those wasteful paper towels, the Jet Towel® keeps restrooms cleaner and lowers the carbon footprint of hand drying by 85%.
Cost effective
With paper towels, hand drying costs $1,700 per year and creates almost 1 ton of waste. By contrast, the Jet Towel® costs only $25 per year.
Ease of use
The Jet Towel® is the only dryer with the trigger sensor at the bottom of the hand drying area and special sensors for children. Upper and lower sensors ensure that the air stream triggers after hands are fully inserted in the dryer, preventing blowback up the wrist, and special sensors for children make the Jet Towel® easy for everyone to use, regardless of age.
