Shanghai World Financial Centre – China

Introduction of the High-speed Hand Dryer to help reduce operating expenses.

"An important consideration in installing the High-speed Hand Dryer was whether it would help reduce our operating expenses. So we installed the High-speed Hand Dryer on a trial basis in an existing building owned by Mori Building and compared the operating costs against those incurred with the use of paper towels. The results highlighted the superior cost performance of the High-speed Hand Dryer, and encouraged us to move ahead with its introduction."

Factors behind the decision to use the High-speed Hand Dryer:

  1. Design blends into any space
  2. Reduced operating and cleaning costs
  3. Environmentally-friendly waste-free system

Genesys Environmental – UK

Low-carbon company chose the product with the lowest electricity consumption to install into their own offices.

"We reviewed three versions of hand dryers and chose the Mitsubishi Jet Towel because of its low sound level and low power consumption. Being a low-carbon company, we needed to follow our energy-saving principles. We have put up signs above the Jet Towel that tells users how much energy they are saving by using the product. Previously we used paper towels that often ran out, so there was either nothing to dry hands on, or so many of them were used that the waste baskets were overflowing. This became unpleasant in the restroom. The Jet Towel has made the restroom a much nicer environment."

Factors behind the decision to use the High-speed Hand Dryer:

  1. Paper towels were seen as unhygienic.
  2. Paper towels often ran out.
  3. Rubbish bins overflowed.

Siemens Hearing Instruments – UK

Mess is gone. Time is saved in unnecessary clean-up and monitoring.

"The restrooms are often the first point of call for our visitors. As such we wanted to provide a modern cost effective approach to hand drying for both staff and visitors. We selected the unheated Jet Towel for our main restrooms replacing messy paper towels with the obvious benefits to the appearance of our restrooms and to the environment in general."

Factors behind the decision to use the High-speed Hand Dryer:

  1. Paper towels are acceptable, but very messy.
  2. First image the customer has of the company.
  3. Energy a concern, but not the first reason for buying Jet Towel.

Mitsubishi Estate Co., Ltd – Japan

The High-speed Hand Dryer blends with a wide range of interior design schemes and is perceived as a key restroom amenity.

"New slim-type units were installed in all restrooms in order to blend with the existing interior design.

The electric-powered High-speed Hand Dryers also help to protect the environment by eliminating the use of paper."

Rapid drying: the deciding factor in the introduction of the High-speed Hand Dryer

"We share our building with our tenants, and so to mark the tenth anniversary of our building's construction, we considered introducing a hand-drying system to our restrooms as a way of providing better service to these tenants. The major factor in choosing a system was drying performance, and the system that attracted us the most was the High-speed Hand Dryer system, which we had seen installed in restrooms along expressways. We decided to install the High-speed Hand Dryer in particular because we figured that anything less powerful wouldn't offer sufficient performance. Now our customers are always commenting on how quickly the dryers work."


Factors behind the decision to use the High-speed Hand Dryer:

  1. Quicker drying through dual-jet airflow
  2. Improved service for tenants
  3. Low running costs
