Taking care for the environment is literally in our hands. Anyone may contribute to the common good with small gestures to combat climate change. The production of paper towels is twice as energy-intensive as the use of hand dryers, and it creates more greenhouse gasses (over its lifetime, one hand dryer will produce 1.6 tons of carbon dioxide, vs. the 4.6 tons of carbon dioxide that will be produced manufacturing the towels it replaces)

 

Most customers we speak to are interested in Hygiene, Sustainability, Reducing your Carbon Footprint, Comfort and noise, Return on Investment and Aesthetics.

 

At FFUUSS we focus on Hygiene, Sustainability, Functionality, Efficiency and Design.

 

From the environmental and business point of view, here are 12 reasons to invest in a ffuuss hand dryer:

 

 1. Hygiene

FFUUSS incorporate a high quality H13 HEPA filter into its hand dryers, with an efficiency of 99.97% this provides a hand drying experience with almost pure air.

 

FFUUSS hand dryers are treated with Biomaster Antimicrobial Protection, whose active ingredient is based on the technology of silver ions, this offers permanent antimicrobial resistance against harmful bacteria for the lifetime of the product, making the surface of the dryer one of the most hygienic on the market.

 

This makes it the perfect choice for use in food and hospital environment’s where the requirement of hygiene and protection from bacteria is most important.

 

 2. Low Energy

FFUUSS are low energy hand dryers. Our HD-1 warm air hand dryer has a patented air preheating system, Preheat, which is unaffected by the burdens of conventional systems and allows a 30% less energy and CO2 consumption.

 

Our electrical motor is charged with a small current warming the surrounding air (13,2W). Further to that, the air is forced to circulate through the windings thus utilizing the friction heat of the motor. To avoid unnecessary consumption, the system shuts down if the ambient temperature is >35º Low energy consumption at 1100 w. Typical running costs of €15.00 per year.

 

 3. Comfort

At our manufacturing facilities in Spain, we have a team of engineers tasked with researching and developing a dryer that is both practical and brings a unique user experience to the consumer. We call the hand drying experience Air Hugs.

 

The design and distribution of the 108 air outlets create an “air hugs” effect on the whole Surface of the hands.

 

Unique to ffuuss is Chromotherapy, Led coloured lights (blue, green, purple, red), placed in the top part of the dryer, alternate in a relaxing flow of colour, at the same time that hands are dried, ffuuss blends high performance with a relaxing disposition creating a pleasurable experience by massaging the hands and instigating a peaceful, mood lifting ambience.

 

 4. Universal Accessibility

FFUUSS incorporates an activation system that utilizes a capacitive sensor in the perimeter of the drying cavity of the unit, allowing for lateral activation of the dryer as well as activation from the top of the unit.

 

Thanks to the lateral hand entry point, ffuuss is the only Hands in Dryer suitable  for disabled washroom areas,  accessible to people with limited mobility, children and the elderly.

 

 5. A quieter hand dryer

Unique to FFUUSS are the 108 air outlets designed and positioned to ensure that the air reaches the maximum surface area of the user’s hands. We call this Air Hugs. The outlets vary in sizes, which allows for minimal noise. The result is a dryer with airflow that is efficient, quieter, with a sound level at between 72 & 74dB measured with hands in the dryer.

 

 6. Drying time

With a drying time of 14 to 16 seconds, the ffuuss hand dryers strategically placed air outlets is considered to be one of the most comfortable and efficient in the industry. We find the best proof of this is to experience the Air Hugs.

 

7. Reduced maintenance cost

FFUUSS provide a hand dryer needing minimal maintenance. Routinely the unit needs to be wiped over to be kept clean, the water collection tank needs emptying when needed, this only takes a few moments. Annually the Hepa filter needs to be replaced, this only takes a minute. It is widely known that a washroom with paper towels will cost 3 to 4 times as much to maintain. So installing a ffuuss hand dryer will see a huge saving in maintenance costs.

 

 8. Say goodbye to wet floors

Due to the 108 strategically positioned air outlets, ffuuss hand dryers are the only dryers available that collect all the water from your hands while drying them. On each side of the dryer there are 6 air outlets providing an air curtain effect, this is preventing water from your hands escaping the designated drying zone. Instead, the water goes directly into the water collection area and into the water collection tank at the bottom of the dryer, unique to ffuuss; we provide the facility to plumb the water directly into the waste water outlet of your washroom. With ffuuss you can be sure that the area around the hand dryer and the floor remains dry and safe. Better hygiene for all.

 

 9. Environmentally friendly

In addition to the negative image in the bathroom because of discarded paper towels, the environmental impact of the paper industry is higher than we can imagine. According to a report published by the German Environment Agency (Umweltbundesamt-UBA), “electric hands in, hand dryers are the most sustainable alternative for the environment. Paper towels are not recyclable and contain a high consumption of virgin fibre, water and energy”.

 

Studies have shown that a hand dryer is nearly three times more eco-friendly, producing nearly a third of the CO2 that paper towels create. In addition there is absolutely no rubbish disposal associated with the usage of the electric hand dryer saving landfill space and reducing amounts of harmful greenhouses gases emitted into the atmosphere.

 

10. Telemetry system

Unique to FFUUSS is the Telemetry system using Bluetooth technology. Using an APP developed by FFUUSS, operational data of the units can be downloaded. So you can now see how many activation the unit has had, how long the unit has been working etc. Providing useful information for the technical service and maintenance team.

 

• The FFUUSS APP can be downloaded free from GOOGLE PLAY or APPLE STORE.

 

 11. Warranty

FFUUSS provide a 5 year warranty on their hand dryers model one, or 250,000 activations. This means that ffuuss hand dryers are suitable for any environment especially high traffic areas such as shopping centres, airports, restaurants, schools, gyms, hotels. In short, any environment in which hygiene, sustainability and comfort are valued.

 

 12. 100% Customizable

Creativity and technology combine adapting to the needs of each individual consumer. With ffuuss you can customize you hand dryer to suite you washroom, choose your preferred color (Standard RAL or Pantone) as well as the finish that best suits you such as chrome-plated, vinyl, logotype and even gold.
