Windflow Air Dryers in New Zealand

Many visitors experience hesitation in the restroom—hands freshly washed, but no good way to dry them. It all often comes down to one crucial detail: effective hand drying. For New Zealand's busiest facilities, Windflow Hand Dryers work better than old-style dryers or messy paper towels. They're fast, clean, efficient, and save money.

What Makes Windflow Different?

1) Built for Kiwi Conditions

The sleek, compact Windflow dryer (measuring just 28cm x 24cm x 15cm and weighing 4.2kg) fits perfectly in spaces of any size. Its sturdy stainless steel outer shell stands up to whatever users throw at it—from beach sand in Tauranga to ski boot stomping in Queenstown.

2) Get Fast Drying

Nobody likes waiting around with wet hands. Windflow's powerful motor dries hands completely in just 12 seconds—less than half the time of old-style dryers. This means less queuing during busy periods at sports matches, concerts, or peak restaurant hours.

3) Operate Silently, Dry Efficiently

At just 62 decibels, Windflow runs at a noise level similar to normal conversations. This makes it perfect for places where noise matters (like libraries, movie theatres, or upscale restaurants where atmosphere counts.

4) Touch-Free Hygiene

The built-in sensors detect hands instantly, so there's no need to touch any buttons or surfaces. In post-COVID New Zealand, this extra hygiene feature gives users peace of mind.

Save Power, Save Money, Save the Planet

1) Save Energy Without Compromise

Windflow dryers use just 1800 watts during operation - 31% less energy than traditional hand dryers. To put that in perspective, each hand dry costs less than one cent in electricity.

2) Goodbye to Paper Waste

The average business washroom goes through about 5kg of paper towel every week. That's over 230kg per year. With Windflow, you won't have overflowing bins, wet floors, or paper towel runs.

3) Take a look at the numbers

For a typical café or restaurant:

• Paper towels: $1,200+ per year (excluding disposal costs)
• Old-style dryers: Higher energy consumption means higher electricity bills
• Windflow dryers: Just $536 per year to operate.

Even better? Facility managers report saving 2-3 hours weekly on washroom maintenance - no more restocking dispensers or emptying overflowing bins.

No, the Windflow Hand Dryer is very quiet. It makes 70 decibels of sound, which is about as loud as a normal conversation.

Q. Why do hand dryers have blue lights?

The blue light in Windflow Hand Dryers has two important purposes. First, it helps users see where to place their hands for the fastest drying. Second, the blue light has antibacterial properties that help keep the dryer clean. Some studies show that blue light can reduce bacteria on surfaces.

Q. What is a sensor for a hand dryer?

This is a special device that detects when hands are placed under the dryer. When the sensor detects, it automatically turns on the dryer without any touching needed. This makes the dryer more hygienic and convenient. The Windflow sensor works instantly and turns off right when hands are removed to save energy.

Q. How do I install a hand dryer?

Installing a Windflow Hand Dryer is straightforward:

• The dryer should be mounted 90-95cm above the floor
• A qualified electrician can complete the installation in about 30 minutes
• The package includes all mounting hardware and a paper template to mark the wall
• The dryer connects to standard New Zealand 230V electrical systems
• The unit should be installed away from direct water splash zones

Q. Do hand dryers throw dirty microbes all around?

The Windflow uses high-velocity air to remove water from hands without spreading bacteria. Unlike older models, it includes an antimicrobial coating on air outlets, HEPA filtration systems that remove 99.9% of bacteria from the air, and a touch-free operation so users never contact shared surfaces.

Q. Is the hand dryer waterproof?

The Windflow Hand Dryer has an IP23 rating, which means it's protected against spraying water. This makes it suitable for washroom environments where some water splash may occur. However, it should not be installed directly next to sinks or in locations where direct water jets might hit it. The stainless steel casing also provides excellent protection against moisture in New Zealand's varying climate conditions.

Q. What is the warranty period?

Windflow Hand Dryers come with a comprehensive 5-year parts warranty and a 3-year labor warranty. The warranty includes free repair or replacement of faulty parts for 5-years, and a 3-year free support from New Zealand-based technicians.

Q. Does it require regular maintenance?

Windflow Hand Dryers need very little maintenance. For best performance:

• Wipe the exterior with a soft cloth and mild cleaner once a week
• Check and clean the air intake filter every 3 months
• Replace the HEPA filter once a year if your model includes one
• Have an electrician check electrical connections once every 2 years
• No special tools or technical knowledge are needed for regular cleaning
