- The First Smart Hand Dryer Recovers Energy Whilst Drying Hands "far Superior on all Counts", Says Energy expert at EMCOR
"Innovation for Success" took place to celebrate Sustainability, British Innovation, British Design and British Manufacturing and where Syed Ahmed (http://www.savortex.com/management.html), CEO of SAVortex Ltd
(http://www.savortex.com/science.html) and former finalist of the BBC show The Apprentice, launched his latest eco-smart hand dryer; the first 10 second dryer using 550 watts that recovers energy and cuts cost whilst drying hands.
Syed said : "We find ourselves in tough economic times and in a race against climate change, business leaders must take a lead and look at ways of implementing sustainable practices that reduce energy use through the businesses which ultimately cut costs, this is absolutely is critical to success"
Innovation for Success was hosted by ITV's Daybreak Newsreader Tasmin Lucian Khan (http://www.tasmin.tv/) with expert speakers on energy saving and sustainability including David Penfold, Sustainability and Innovation Manager Sainsbury's and Hassan Atiq, Energy expert at EMCOR. Tasmin opened the forum by asking "Is a low carbon economy compatible with economic growth?" Later she discussed how low carbon businesses would be driving the economy of the future.
The unique patented vortex technology and regenerative heating technique replaces the conventional heating elements found in the majority of today's hand dryers. The Vortex's (http://www.savortex.com/) smart digital technology recovers energy and saves money whilst being used and has been life tested to one million hand dries and comes with an industry-leading 5-year warranty, ensuring a sound energy saving investment.
Vortex's pioneering patented technology breaks up water droplets on the skin accelerating drying times and no other dryer comes close to an average 10 second dry for only 550 watts making it the most energy efficient in its class.
Hassan Atiq from EMCOR (http://www.emcoruk.com/), who have provided facilities management services at Heathrow since 1992, tested and evaluated the dryer went on to add "The Vortex performed well above others and was far more superior on all counts. In my opinion it wins hands down". He urged everyone to look at where they can lead by example, "Be lean, be green and be clean"
David Penfold, explained that Sainsbury's (http://www.jsainsburys.co.uk/cr/index.asp?pageid=64&issuebrief=13) lead the way in energy efficiency and are currently running one of the largest energy reset programmes in the UK on their existing stores. David went on to say "Energy efficiency was without doubt the way to go, the hieracy of reducing energy use first before trying to generate it is not only true but common sense". He stressed "behavioural training is key to success."
Steve van Dulken Information Expert at the British Library went on to congratulate SAVortex "with less than 3% of filed patents getting through, SAVortex have done very well in such a short period of time with three filings to date".
SAVortex delivers low cost, fast, quieter drying in a longer life unit.
