Grand Central bathroomThe Importance of an Efficient Hand Dryer

Long wait times and messy paper towel bins are signs of outdated systems. In fast-paced environments, the last thing users want is a bathroom hand dryer that takes too long or fails to dry hands completely.

That’s where the XLERATOR hand dryer shines. With a dry time as quick as 8 seconds, it dramatically improves restroom throughput and user satisfaction. Fast, consistent performance by sustainable hand-drying solutions minimize restroom congestion while keeping facilities cleaner and more hygienic.

Bathroom Hand Dryer Performance That Delivers

Choosing the right bathroom hand dryer can make a significant difference in how a facility operates. Excel Dryer’s line of XLERATOR hand dryers includes top-performing models like the XLERATOR XL-SB, known for its sleek stainless-steel finish, and the XLERATOR XL-BW, a cost-effective, white thermoset resin (BMC) option ideal for high-traffic environments. Additionally, our hand dryers can be ordered with custom covers to feature your corporate branding to add a touch of personalization in your restroom design.

These units are more than fast, they’re smart. Each electric hand dryer offers customizable speed, sound, and heat settings, allowing facility managers to tailor performance to suit their space. The addition of optional Electrostatic HEPA (eHEPA®) Filtration enhances hygiene by removing 99.999% of viruses and 99.97% of bacteria from the airstream at 0.3 microns, according to testing done by LMS Technologies.

Sustainability has become a cornerstone of responsible building management. Paper towels generate enormous waste and cost facilities thousands annually in restocking, disposal, and labor. Excel’s sustainable hand-drying solutions provide a smarter alternative.

The XLERATOR hand dryer eliminates the need for paper towels entirely, reducing waste and improving restroom cleanliness. A peer-reviewed Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) by TrueNorth Collective revealed that XLERATOR  hand dryers reduces a facility’s carbon footprint by up to 94% compared to paper towels.

These hand dryers also contribute to WELL points and LEED® credits to help facilities achieve green certifications. These commercial hand dryers are a part of the Works With WELL Directory which details products that can be used to achieve WELL certification.

How Excel Hand Dryers Are Built to Handle High-Traffic Demands

When it comes to commercial restrooms, durability is just as important as speed. Many commercial hand dryers underperform in high-volume settings or require frequent maintenance. Excel dryers are engineered to do the opposite.

The XLERATOR hand dryer is built tough, with a robust internal design, automatic sensor activation, and low failure rates even after years of heavy use. This reliability makes it the electric hand dryer of choice for the most demanding environments, from sports arenas and convention centers to public transit systems and universities.

These sustainable hand-drying solutions come with a best in class 7-year limited warranty. This allows facilities to rest easily knowing they’ve invested in long-term performance.

Why Excel Dryers Are a Smart Investment for Commercial Spaces

Cost-effectiveness is one of the most overlooked advantages of switching to high-speed commercial hand dryers. Over time, the XLERATOR pays for itself by eliminating paper towel expenses, lowering janitorial labor, and improving restroom hygiene.

In fact, most facilities recoup their investment within 6 to 24 months, depending on usage. That’s not just a smart decision, it’s a sustainable one. Excel dryers also reduce the risk of plumbing and maintenance issues caused by paper towels being flushed or scattered on floors.
