New Products
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.

A new generation of advanced cleaning that combines biological enzyme additives and biodegradable surfactants from the world’s leading manufacturers offer cleaner urinals in the washroom environment.
The new Uri-POD is specifically designed to clean urinals where traditional chemical products prove to be ineffective. It deep cleans piping and bottle traps by removing grease and grime that collect in hard to reach areas. The Uri-POD improves air freshness by controlling odours emanating from organics and degrades residual organic soils.
Product features • Specific enzyme action offers increased effectiveness compared to normal urinal screens/mats • Ease of use saves time and money • Enzymes are non-toxic, nonirritating, non-gaseous, nonflammable, non-pathogenic and non-hazardous • Enzymes digest the host material where germs and odour-causing bacteria reproduce • Back splash is reduced by as much as 90 percent • It is not an odour-masking tool, but rather an odour eliminator that acts by killing and removing odour-creating bacteria The product is manufactured in South Africa and designed to address local washroom issues.

Be part of the official African delegation to visit the bustling city of Amsterdam and the world’s largest professional cleaning exhibition
Holland’s capital city is a hub for happy cyclists, beer-drinkers, tourists and art-lovers. Amsterdam’s go-to bohemian vicinity brims with coffee shops, bars and restaurants, and the renowned Albert Cuypmarket is well worth a visit.
During the fall of 2020 the world of professional cleaning will gather in Amsterdam at what is regarded as the world’s largest exhibition of its kind. This is your opportunity to view the latest cleaning technology and updates on global trends and developments while connecting with cleaning professionals from over 143 different countries. The exhibition floor stretches over several halls and is divided into eight specific segments, namely: high pressure; laundry; management; mobility; steam cleaning; washroom; waste solutions; window cleaning; and healthcare. The other three segments – machines, equipment and detergents – are fragmented and can be found in every hall.
The first Interclean exhibition took place in 1967 and it has since developed into the world’s leading trade fair for the professional cleaning industry.
