Velo Fuga Evo UVC Jet Hand Dryer - Black Steel | Hospital-Grade Hygiene

The Black Steel Velo Fuga Evo UVC represents the convergence of industrial aesthetics and medical-grade sanitization technology. This compact powerhouse employs ultraviolet C light—the same sterilization method trusted by hospitals worldwide—to destroy pathogens at the DNA level while its high-velocity air jets rapidly dry hands.

Unlike standard dryers that simply remove moisture, the Fuga Evo actively eliminates viruses, bacteria, fungi and spores with its built-in UVC LED system that activates only during operation for maximum safety and efficiency.

Wrapped in a sleek, vandal-resistant black steel casing just 1.2mm thick, it delivers unwavering performance in high-traffic environments while maintaining a minimalist industrial appearance that complements contemporary commercial spaces throughout New Zealand.

Technical Specifications

Installation & Maintenance

The Velo Fuga Evo UVC requires professional installation to ensure proper placement and electrical connection. The compact design allows for flexible mounting in areas with space constraints, requiring only standard electrical service compatible with New Zealand power specifications.

Regular maintenance procedures ensure optimal sanitization performance:

• Quarterly HEPA filter inspection and replacement as needed
• Biannual check of UVC LED functionality using manufacturer testing protocols
• Regular cleaning of the infrared sensor to prevent activation issues
• Annual inspection of electrical components and connections
• Verification of UVC light intensity using appropriate measurement tools (professional service)

Care Instructions

The black steel finish requires specific maintenance to preserve both its appearance and antimicrobial properties:

• Clean external surfaces with non-abrasive, non-chloride cleaners specifically formulated for black stainless steel
• Wipe in the direction of the metal grain to prevent scratching and maintain finish integrity
• Remove fingerprints and water spots promptly to prevent etching of the black finish
• Avoid harsh chemical cleaners containing bleach that could compromise the protective coating
• Apply food-grade stainless steel polish quarterly to maintain the rich black appearance
• Use microfiber cloths exclusively to prevent micro-scratches that could accumulate over time

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the UVC light technology compare to antimicrobial coatings?
UVC light actively destroys pathogens at the DNA level with 99.9% efficacy, while antimicrobial coatings gradually lose effectiveness over time and only work on contact surfaces, not airborne particles.

Will the black steel finish show water stains in hard water areas common in New Zealand?
The specialized coating on the black steel includes spot-resistant technology specifically developed for regions with mineral-rich water, significantly reducing visible water spotting.

Is the UVC light harmful to users or washroom occupants?
No—the UVC light is completely contained within the internal chambers and activates only during operation, with multiple safety mechanisms preventing any exposure to users or maintenance personnel.

How does the Velo Fuga perform during New Zealand's winter power surges?
The unit includes specialized surge protection circuitry designed to withstand the voltage fluctuations sometimes experienced during winter storms in New Zealand's more remote regions.

Does the compact size compromise drying performance in busy facilities?
The precision-engineered jet nozzles actually deliver more focused airflow than larger units, achieving the same drying efficiency while occupying 40% less wall space—ideal for modernizing older facilities.

How does the black steel model handle cleaning chemicals used in healthcare environments?
The black steel finish incorporates a medical-grade protective layer resistant to the quaternary ammonium compounds, hydrogen peroxide, and alcohol-based sanitizers commonly used in New Zealand healthcare settings.
