new products First intelligent hand dryers to enter the local market South African hand-dryer distributor Hurricane Dry recently announced the launch of the Comac range of hand dryers in South Africa. The first intelligent hand dryer to be introduced to the local market is manufactured by Canadian Comac Corporation. Hurricane Dry believes the new Comac hand dryers will take the hand-dryer industry to a new level in 2020. “The advantages of the Comac hand dryers are something that have never been seen before. The costs involved in maintaining hand dryers and going to site are going to be something of the past; a simple call from the client to adjust the sensor activity is now done remotely and a huge advantage is that the hand dryers have a 10 year/ lifetime warranty,” says Hurricane Dry MD Claudia Wells. In order to meet client requirements and budget, the Comac range consists of 3 different units. • Comac Blast: high-speed hand dryer • Comac iBlast: high-speed hand dryer
with built-in technology that tracks usage from anywhere around the world, and the technical specifications can be adjusted remotely. • Comac iCast: high-speed hand dryer with built-in technology that tracks usage from anywhere around the world, and the technical specifications can be adjusted remotely. The Comac iCast also features a 5.5-inch touch screen for advertising messages in high-traffic areas such as airports, shopping centres and fast food outlets.
Product features • Unique, intelligent connectivity communicates diagnostics in case of defaults. • Capability to establish usage frequency. • Controllable remotely via web portal. • The iCast with a 5.5-inch touch screen offers full WiFi, GSM, Ethernet and
Bluetooth connectivity for data upload & remote dryer maintenance. • The iBlast/iCast models feature remote activation/deactivation, sensor adjustment, etc. • Vandal proof and scratch resistant with a reinforced steel cover and 8 seconds drying time. • The hand dryer’s inner casing has an antibacterial coating that assists to eliminate germs and bacteria.
