Dyson is known for designing some of the innovative products used in offices, homes, and airports. These range from Air purifiers to Vacuum cleaners to hand dryers, bladeless fans, heaters, hairdryers, and lights. Last week, Dyson launched the Airblade 9KJ Hand dryer which is a fast, energy-efficient HEPA-filtered hand dryer that can be used in offices or places like airports, cinema halls, etc.
Dyson’s Airblade 9KJ Hand dryer comes with a unique design, unlike other conventional dryers. It allows people to dry their hands quickly without consuming much of energy and at the same time hygienically when compared to regular hand dryers we have seen thus far. With over 700 prototypes and three years in development, the final product is quietest, quickest and also produces up to 85% less carbon dioxide emissions per dry than paper towels.
“At Dyson we believe hand drying should be fast, hygienic and responsible in its energy use. We solved many of these problems when we disrupted the industry with the launch of the first Dyson Airblade™ in 2006,” explains Jake Dyson, Chief Engineer. “We continue to pioneer with the Dyson Airblade 9kJ – our latest hand drying technology. From the acoustics to its design, everything has been rethought to deliver the best performance without any compromise on user experience or hygiene.”
Highlights of the Dyson Airblade 9KJ hand dryer:
A Curved Blade™ design
Powered by the Dyson digital motor V4, which spins at up to 75 000rpm, sheets of airflow up to 624 km/h through two 0.45mm curved apertures that follow the contours of your hands, removing water in less time. Our powerful Dyson digital motor V4 shifts 23 liters of air per second, allowing the Dyson Airblade 9kJ hand dryer to dry your hands fast, in 10 seconds.
Touch-free operation
The machine uses ‘Time of flight’ sensors that accurately detect hands to activate air.
A hygienic HEPA filtration
With a fleece-lined glass fiber HEPA filter, which captures up to 99.95%3 of particles the size of bacteria (0.3 microns) from the washroom air, the machine uses clean air to dry hands.
Acoustic engineering
Our quietest Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer yet4, the Dyson Airblade 9kJ hand dryer features silencers made from open-cell foam and perforated discs, reducing noise as the airflow passes through the motor.
The Dyson Airblade 9kJ hand dryer costs US$1349 and is designed to suit any commercial or public washroom, from offices, shopping malls, and restaurants, to public spaces, amusement parks, schools, hospitals and hotels. This price includes the AMC as well which will take care of servicing and spare parts cost.
