First-ever hand dryer enters Guinness book

Savortex’s Vortex 550 EcoSmart hand dryer has set a Guinness World Record for energy efficiency. EcoSmart dries four pairs of hands using just 24kJ of energy in 15 seconds. Typically, hand dryers use between 72kJ and 96kJ power to dry just one pair of hands.

The record can be attributed to the dryer’s compression technology, lowest carbon emissions, heat recycling method, which dramatically reduce power consumption and GHG compared to conventional 2400W hand dryers. Savortex, a British technology company, designs energy efficient products, specialising in the global washroom sector. The products are manufactured in Wiltshire.
