This innovative hand dryer removes all the water from your hands quickly thanks to a high speed jet stream of up to 200 Km/Hr. This novel system allows VELTIA to dry in just 10-15 seconds.
The Veltia Hand Dryer’s air jets dry hands faster than conventional warm air dryers and without the mess because the water is collected into a drain tank inside the dryer so it will not leak out.
And unlike paper towels or cloth towel dispensers, the hands make no contact with any part of the unit therefore it is hygienic and waste-free.
This is a great green gadget that will not only cut down on your energy consumption, but also cut your drying time by 50%.
The Spin-X Spin Dryer works using centrifugal force and minimum energy to suck up to a quart of water out of your laundry, thus making your conventional dryer time, or line drying time significantly less.
By greatly reducing drying time, the clothes dryer only operates for 1/2 the time or less, creating less heat for the Air Conditioner to cool, and extending the life of both the clothes dryer and the Air Conditioner because of less wear & tear.
In addition to pulling more water out of your clothing before heading into the dryer, it also removes detergents, perfumes, and chemicals out of your clothes . (more…)
