NEW EcoCurve TM hand dryer Slimline, Energy Saving & Smart. It's the game changer! The new EcoCurve intelligently reports on the energy used per cycle, and offers the lowest carbon footprint per dry.
EcoCurveTM warm air hand dryer The EcoCurve Hand Dryer uses SAVORTEX s Patented Energy Recovery & Curved Air Drying technology. Using our new digital brushless 550W motor, it offers the lowest carbon footprint per dry. It intelligently reports on the energy used per dry, and dries 59 pairs of hands for an operating cost of just 1p, that s an 99% cost saving compared to a dry with paper towels. Designed slimline with an in-built and patented energy recovery system, unlike conventional dryers it curves warm air, directed by intelligent sensors, straight to your palms. Result? An invigorating and hygienic dry in just 11 seconds* with a smooth and quiet sound output. 550W motor consumption: Low carbon footprint 11 seconds * : Fast dry From 83dB ** : Quiet and smooth sound quality 7 year warranty: Long life Sustainable: Digital Brushless Motor Technology (10x more operational life than brushed motors) Self-cleaning: New Air channel Adaptor technology (No consumables to change i.e. trays, heating elements or filters) Easy installation: Fit & forget in10 minutes Hygienic: Latest antimicrobial additive for protection against degradation and bacteria Intelligent sensors & Real time energy metering: Not only does it track hands from multiple vantage points for instant activation, it also monitors real time energy usage The EcoCurve offers the lowest cost of ownership over its 7 year warranty. *Hand dryness is subjective, varies from person to person and washroom conditions. SAVORTEX EcoCurve hand drying time data is based on our unique, in built, real-time data collection technology which monitors and reports on the drying time and energy used per dry, determined by users on a daily basis. As the data is sourced from actual usage, this is the most relevant, accurate and transparent method of data collection established. **EcoCurve 450 from 83dB. EcoCurve 550 from 87dB (Improved Sound Quality). 2
Intelligent features and benefits EcoCurve hand drying technology explained: As shown in the diagram, SAVORTEX uses its award-winning patented curved air and heat recovery technique to generate and sustain warm air used for drying. Cold air is drawn in through the air channel adaptor, and then compressed to 39 C, after which the heated air is accelerated out at 30.6 litres per second, delivering air straight to your palms. This technique avoids wasting air and splash back. Super fast drying time: The unique EcoCurve delivery system ensures that warm air is accelerated out of the dryer at maximum speed, resulting in super fast drying times. Hygienic: SAVORTEX uses the latest antimicrobial additive which protects against degradation and bacteria. Low sound digital brushless motor: Our engineers have used the latest sound deadening techniques and developed a low sound and compact digital brushless motor. Tested to 1 million hand drying cycles, unlike brushed motors which use carbon brushes that create dust & pollutants, this more sustainable motor rotates using electrical switches at an efficient 20,000 times per minute. Consequently, this delivers 10x more life than a brushed motor. Slimline & Easy Installation: The EcoCurve protrudes only 134mm from the wall, allowing for recessed and space saving installations. Just plug and leave on any surface in only 10 minutes. 3
Smooth Sound Quality The Smart air flow design within the EcoCurve dryer ensures a smooth and quiet sound output. We have developed a new era of sound quality for you to experience. Real Time Energy Metering* A unique, in-built communications link records real-time energy usage and wirelessly transmits data to a Server, allowing building managers to monitor their energy consumption, leading to improved energy and cost management. *SIM card charges apply. 4
Conventional Dryer Market Analysis By reducing energy consumption compared to other energy-hungry dryers, the SAVORTEX range significantly reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions compared to conventional dryers and paper towels. Furthermore, eliminating paper towels reduces the amount of waste sent to landfill.

The SAVORTEX dryer range eliminates the above problems, using just 550W, and dries hands in seconds. It offers the lowest carbon footprint per dry. *Usage figures based on 10p kwh, dries per day, 365 days per year. 5
Technical Specification Installation Isolate the mains before commencing installation. Securely fix the mounting bracket to the wall at the desired location. Hand dryer should be mounted vertically on solid substrate walls. Correctly wire the power cable to the electrical connector in accordance with the current edition of the IEE wiring regulations (BS7671: Requirements for Electrical Installations). Replace all electrical connector covers and insulation. Our dryers use first fix principles to minimize installation times. When required, align the main unit over the mounting bracket ensuring the top two hooks are secure. Align with the corresponding openings in the rear. The main unit should be held flush with the wall. Lower the unit slowly down to engage with the hooks and with the electrical connector until the lower face is flush with the bottom edge of the bracket. Fix the unit to the bracket with the two anti-tamper screws. Reconnect the power. The unit will self-isolate upon removal of the main unit from the mounting bracket.
