1)    What are the benefits of buying askon hand dryers?

•    We have complete control on the product design and quality which importers of low quality hand dryers do not possess. As a result we are able to give better quality, better warranties and guarantee spare part availability for many years after product sale.  

2)    Are hand dryers hygienic?

•    Hand dryers are very hygienic as the warm / hot air dries the moisture on the hands in a much better way as compared to paper towels which are unable to reach between the crevices and ridges of the skin. Also several of our models use anti-microbial additives in the plastic components which kill 99% harmful microbes in contact with them. This is backed by independent test reports to prove the efficacy of the anti-microbial additives.

​

3)    How long does it take to dry hands?

•    It depends on the air speed and the heating power of the hand dryer. It can take anywhere from 15 to 30 seconds to dry your hands.

​

4)    Does higher power rating mean it is a better hand dryer?

•    Higher power consumption does not equate to better or faster hand dryer. Highly energy efficient and effective hand dryers can be made under 1500 W as in our hand dryer model ASH-VJ. This hand dryer dries hands in under 15 seconds without the use of any heating coils which consume 75% of the energy in a traditional hand dryer.

•    Many new generation hand dryers use powerful motors to generate higher air speeds to blow away the water droplets rather than dry them leading to highly energy efficient hand dryers.

​

5)    Which type of motors are best for the hand dryers?
