your Albany insight into hand care – washing
Hand Hygiene
How is the Airblade automatic hand dryer so hygienic?
The Dyson Airblade automatic hand dryer is Albany’s highly effective, highly efficient, low energy solution to washroom hand drying hygiene. So how is the Airblade so hygienic?
- The Airblade hand dryer takes just ten seconds to dry hands compared with warm air dryers which can take up to four times longer
- Hand rubbing breaks down upper skin layers, enabling bacteria in lower skin layers to come to the surface but unlike conventional washroom hand dryers, users of the Airblade don’t need to rub their hands together to get dry
- The Dyson Airblade hand dryer uses a HEPA filter to remove 99.9% of bacteria and mould from the washroom air it sucks in. The risk of hand contamination from airborne bacteria is therefore virtually eliminated
- The Airblade high speed hand dryer is impregnated with anti-microbial additives to reduce incumbent bacteria and mould by 99.9% and lower the possibility of user contamination
NSF International is the consulting body on workplace hygiene to governments and international organisations. The Airblade electric hand dryers are the first and only hand dryers compliant with NSF’s Protocol 335 for hygienic hand dryers.

Cost Savings
- This automatic hand dryer provides better return on investment over 5 years compared with rental warm air hand dryers or paper towels which saves costs and improves business profitability. An average washroom using 400 paper towels per day would cost £1065 per year more to run than a washroom using the Airblade hand dryer.
- This hand dryer uses up to 80% less energy than ordinary washroom hand dryers. It is powered by the Dyson Digital Motor which consumes just 1600W of energy unlike warm air hand dryers that can consume up to 2400W in use. In addition to this the unit only works when the user's hands are placed in it and cannot be triggered accidentally, reducing costs and demonstrating you care for the environment
- The Airblade hand dryer is the fastest electric hand dryer available and takes just 10 seconds to dry hands, eliminating paper waste and ensuring that you pay less for electricity. Airblade saves over 700,000 paper towels. Using one Airblade hand dryer, 200 times a day for 5 years, saves 730,000 paper towels from being produced, transported and disposed. (Based on 2 paper towels per dry)
