Excel Dryer, Inc. is the innovator of the original, patented, high-speed and energy-efficient XLERATOR Hand Dryer that helps architects and interior designers reduce energy consumption, maintenance and waste, while preserving aesthetic appeal. Excel Dryer's new, expanded and enhanced product line - featuring XLERATOR, XLERATOReco and ThinAir Hand Dryers - facilitates the design of the very best hand drying solution for any restroom environment. By making some of the most popular features standard, Excel Dryer continues to enhance the user experience and provide smarter products that are easier to maintain. Enhanced standard features include adjustable speed and sound controls, adjustable heat settings (high, medium, low and off), an externally visible Service LED and multi-voltage options available in 110V-120V or 208V-277V volts in 50 or 60 hertz, accommodating global electrical needs.
Not only did Excel Dryer set the new industry standard in 2001 with the release of XLERATOR, they continued a rich history of innovation with a recently released model in 2013, XLERATOReco Hand Dryer. The XLERATOReco Hand Dryer model extends Excel Dryer's commitment to providing the most energy-efficient and cost-saving hand dryers with the same proven performance, reliability and durability that are expected from XLERATOR. Using 'No Heat' technology, XLERATOReco dries hands in 10 seconds* using only 500 watts, making it the most environmentally-friendly way to dry hands on the planet. XLERATOReco sets another new industry standard in green innovation and sustainability, and will allow facilities to use even less energy than ever before.
More recently Excel introduced the ThinAir Hand Dryer which dries hands fast using 950 watts or less and when surface-mounted, meets ADA compliance standards. ThinAir, like all high-efficiency hand dryer models from Excel Dryer, now comes with new enhanced standard features, including adjustable sound, speed and heat controls, multi-voltage options available in 110V-120V or 208V-277V volts in 50 or 60 hertz, accommodating global electrical needs, and an externally visible service LED. In addition to the original ABS polymer cover, ThinAir is now available in brushed stainless steel and features a washable pre-filter to extend the life of the unit. As a sensor-activated, touch-free hand dryer, ThinAir reduces touch points and decreases the risk of cross-contamination from users contacting potentially unclean surfaces in a restroom. ThinAir Hand Dryers are also Made in USA Certified, BuildingGreen Approved and also help qualify for several LEED v4 Credits and Green Globes to meet corporate or government sustainability goals.
XLERATOR, XLERATOReco, and ThinAir Hand Dryers can be installed in new or existing facilities. Excel Dryer offers several optional accessories including: newly designed ADA compliant XChangerŽ paper towel dispenser retro-fit kits enabling a complete transformation from paper towels to XLERATOR equipped restrooms without major renovation needed; an anti-microbial wall guard supporting superior hygienic standards; the 1.1 noise reduction nozzle; and exclusive digital imaging technology for custom cover designs adopted by organizations such as the New England Patriots, Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks, Coca-Cola and many more.
*Dry time based on third party testing performed by SGS International on standard XLERATOReco hand dryer with 0.8 nozzle to 0.2g or less of residual moisture.
