This can result in paybacks of less than a year for paper towels and less than 2 years compared to a conventional 2400W dryer. Over its lifetime the Vortex dryer has lower operating costs than any other hand dryer on the market because the unit consumes much less power and never compromises on performance. The patented technology means that the Vortex dryer consumes just 550W of power compared to as much as 2400W with conventional dryers. This is achieved in two ways: - By utilising a highly energy e?cient ‘brushless’ motor to accelerate the air. - By recycling heated air; once the warm air is blown out of the dryer a portion is sucked back in thus reducing the heat energy required.Innovative technology• Our patented award-winning drying technology uses a compression process to generate the warm air required for drying, meaning there is no need for energy-hungry heating elements. • Following compression, a proportion of the warm air is then spun into a vortex, which ensures some of it is recovered back into the dryer. • This process allows a signi?cant portion of the heat energy to be recycled, which in turn maximises the energy e?ciency of the system - without compromising on performance. • SAVortex’s ?rst product utilising this technology is the Vortex hand dryer, which has been developed by our in-house UK-based engineering team over the past 4 years. It is now successfully installed on sites across the UK and Europe.35Call 0207 956 8840 www.savortex.comMost pairs of hands dried using 30kj of energy*Indemnities may be required. Subject to status. Available in the UK only.Rent theVortexEcoSmarthand dryerfor less thanyour energysavings......from as little as £2.51+VAT per week*7We also minimised the number of parts (see diagram above), supporting our view is that there is a strong link between simplicity and durability. Furthermore,the dryer was designed to be compatible with existing hand dryer wiring to prevent the need for wasteful rewiring. Then, of course, there’s the best-in-class energy consumption - the Vortex uses less energy than any other dryer on the market, running at only 550W.Reduced environmental impact• By reducing energy consumption compared to conventional hand dryers, the Vortex hand dryer signi?cantly reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Compared to a conventional 2.4 kW hand dryer, the Vortex will reduce GHG by 3 tonnes a year.• The Vortex hand dryer also signi?cantly reduces GHG emissions when compared to paper towels.• Furthermore, eliminating paper towels reduces the amount of waste sent to land?ll.Sustainable designThe Vortex hand dryer was conceived using sustainable design principles and each unit is built by hand at our UK factory in Wiltshire.From the outset, our in-house engineering team did everything possible to minimize its impact on the environment throughout its life-cycle.  We set out to develop a hand dryer with a life-expectancy of 15 years compared to as little as 1-2 years for conventional dryers. To achieve this objective the dryer was designed around a digital brushless bypass motor, resulting in much less mechanical wear than in conventional dryers and hence prolonging active life.greenspecapprovedCall 0207 956 8840 www.savortex.comMost pairs of hands dried using 30kj of energy8costs of energy, allowing the user to monitor consumption throughout the day/month/year and cross-check this data against the utility bills.We are committed to providing our customers with the means of understanding their own energy consumption and strive to achieve the goals of reducing both the energy costs and GHG emissions of their washroom facilities.
