A new hygienic solution hand washing and drying at the sink

A collaboration between Dyson and industrial hygiene manufacturer Elpress resulted in the development of a hygienic, fully integrated hand washing and drying solution. It’s already been installed in some of the most hygiene-conscious environments.

The new EWG-TAP, a complete integrated solution.

As a supplier of specialist hygiene room equipment to the food manufacturing industry, Elpress prides itself high standards in workplace hygiene. They’ve been working with Dyson for many years.
Now, with Dyson’s development of fast, hygienic hand drying technology in a tap, Elpress has integrated the Dyson Airblade Tap hand dryer into its hand washing stations.
Hands are washed and dried above a stainless steel sink. There’s no need to move to a separate drying area, so no water is dripped on the floor – lowering the risk of slipping and improving health and safety.

Fewer bottlenecks. Increased productivity.

When hand washing and drying take place in separate areas of the hygiene room, queues and bottlenecks are common. With an integrated solution, the hand washing and drying process flows more smoothly and efficiently – saving time and improving productivity.

Engineered for hygiene.

The Dyson Airblade Tap hand dryer is sensor operated, so hands don’t touch any contaminated surfaces. It also uses a HEPA filter that captures 99.9% of particles the size
of bacteria from the air used to dry hands. So hands are dried with cleaner air, not dirty air.

Trusted by businesses that care about hygiene.

A growing number of major food manufacturers trust Dyson to play an integral part in the hand hygiene process. These include Kellogg’s, Alpro and the Dutch cookie manufacturer, Merba. After installing 10 Dyson Airblade Tap hand dryers across two washing stations, positive feedback by staff has led to the expansion of Airblade™ technology across the business.

Only the Dyson Airblade Tap hand dryer has all of these benefits:

• No water on the floor
• Costs less to run – up to 97%
• less than paper towels1
• Most hygienic
• Better for the environment – no paper waste
• and up to 71% less CO2 than paper towels2
• The fastest over sink hand dryer
• Saves space
• 5 year guarantee

“ We were looking to avoid water on the floor by replacing paper towels – so an integrated at-sink washing and drying solution was ideal.”
Wim Boerman, Director, Merba.

In collaboration with Carbon Trust, Dyson has produced a method to measure the environmental impact of electrical appliances and paper towels. The carbon calculations were produced using GaBi software provided by PE International, based on product use over 5 years and using the US as a representative country of use. Dry times for products
were evaluated using DTM 769.
