School Hand Dryers

We adore this product! Puff the Magic Dryer is a hand dryer specially designed for children. We have written a lot in our blog about the importance of making hand dryers user friendly and enjoyable for small children, and Puff the Magic Dryer really meets this aim in every way.

Puff is bright, appealing, quiet in use and yet still effective. Puff the Magic Dryer is the ideal hand dryer for infant schools, nurseries and public facilities that wish to appeal to children, such as museums, shopping centres, amusement parks, cinemas etc. If fact, we think every washroom that caters for children should have a Puff the Magic Dryer!

To encourage children to dry their hands, Puff the Magic Dryer is supplied with:

- A wall-mountable backboard

- One set of adhesive boys and girls toilet door signs

- 4 Handwash High Five mirror stickers

Noise :

Puff is amongst the quietest hand dryers in the world, yet still delivers a quick dry time. The majority of manufacturers provide decibel readings (dBA) measured from one metre in a pressure chamber without hands being under the dryer and in conditions that do not amplify noise. Therefore, it is typically the case that high speed hand dryers become noticeably louder when in use. Puffs volume does not alter much when hands are inserted, and this is because it relies on a large, high speed, heated airflow rather than a compressed high speed airflow that amplifies sound when hands are under. This also prevents spikes in noise that can be unsettling for small children. It is often the case that children are afraid of using standard hand dryers due to the noise they emit. Conditions such as Hyperacusis, Misophonia, Sensory Defensiveness, Hypersensitivity, Sensory Processing Disorder and Phonophobia can cause children to have heightened sensitivity to unusual, sudden or loud noises. An estimated 133,500* children in the UK alone are reported to have a disorder on the autistic spectrum. Children on the autistic spectrum are amongst those who may have a noise sensitivity.

Hygiene :

The key to good hand drying hygiene lies with ensuring the hands are properly dried, this is because wet hands are a breeding ground for pathogens. Hand towels are not fun or enticing for children which means they are unlikely to be used to attain a proper hygienic dry. Puff the Magic Dryer appeals to children and thus encourages proper hand drying. Small children can’t wait to have their hands dried by a friendly dragon!

Product Longevity :

Puff the Magic Hand Dryer has a universal brush motor, the brushes are expected to last approx 6500 continuous hours or 1,3000,000 drying cycles. The life expectancy of the motor is approx 17,000 continous hours or 3,600,000 drying cycles.

Installation :

Easy Installation, with no additional considerations. All hand dryers require a suitable fused spur for installation

Vandal Resistance :

This hand dryer is not suitable for area's where there is a high level of vandalism, however it has been designed with a heavy metal casing, it shape doesn't allow it to be levered from the wall and it has very limited areas where blockages can occur.

User Friendliness :

Hands under hand dryers are the most accessible style for small children as they can be mounted to the appropriate height. To ensure Puff delivers on accessibility, it is supplied with advice on how high to mount the dryer to best suit certain age ranges. Puff the Magic Dryer boasts touch-free operation and a 10 cm sensor range, so it really is perfect for children of any size to use.
