Touchless Hand Dryer - Recessed Model PDC-R10
Introducing the Touchless Hand Dryer - Recessed Model PDC-R10, a sustainable and efficient hand-drying solution that champions eco-friendliness and robust functionality. This hand dryer is meticulously designed to save trees, reduce landfill waste, and minimize pollution by offering a more energy-efficient alternative to paper towels. With the capability to save 17 trees worth of paper towels per year in a typical school using 30 hand dryers, the PDC-R10 is a testament to our commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility.
Constructed with 18g stainless steel, this hand dryer is not only sturdy but also vandal-resistant, ensuring durability and reliability in high-traffic areas. The touchless operation, facilitated by an infrared sensor, ensures hygiene and safety, while the 20-25 second drying time provides convenience and efficiency. With a limited 10-year warranty and user-repairable design, the PDC-R10 promises long-term functionality and easy maintenance, making it a prudent investment for your facility.
A Greener Alternative:
Saves trees, reduces landfill waste & pollution The production of paper towels is twice as energy-intensive as the use of hand dryers, and it creates more greenhouse gases. Over its lifetime, one hand dryer will produce 1.6 tons of carbon dioxide, versus the 4.6 tons of carbon dioxide that will be produced manufacturing the towels it replaces.
It takes more energy to produce two paper towels than it does to run a typical high-speed hand dryer cycle. Paper towels can be made from recycled paper, but they can’t be recycled themselves, creating millions of cubic feet of waste in landfills.
Producing one ton of recycled paper takes 7,000 gallons of water and 158 million BTUs of energy - and 60 pounds of pollutants will go into the air.
A typical school using 30 hand dryers will save 17 trees worth of paper towels per year.
