The HSDA3868 is a 1kW automatic hand dryer for commercial washrooms in restaurants, hotels, and catering facilities. It delivers 90m/s air velocity to dry hands in under 10 seconds. Installed in high-traffic staff and customer washroom areas where rapid throughput is required.
Commercial Application
Hand hygiene compliance in food service operations depends on accessible, functional drying equipment. This unit mounts near handwashing stations in prep areas, front-of-house facilities, and back-of-house corridors. Touchless sensor activation reduces cross-contamination risk during shift changes and peak service periods.
During service hours, staff wash hands frequently between tasks. A 1kW motor with 90m/s airflow completes the drying cycle in 8-10 seconds. The throughput supports continuous use across multiple shifts without overheating or motor degradation.
