Excel Hand Dryer Uses 80% Less Energy

This is a hand dryer, made by Excel,
that uses 80% less electrical energy than similar dryers. It uses
a high velocity fan to dry hands faster (10-12 seconds) by blowing the
water droplets off the hands.

Hand
dryers are more efficient than paper towels in public restrooms. Paper
towels have a higher annual cost, use energy to transport, create paper
waste, require maintenance to keep them filled, are often sources of
mess in restrooms.
