When you wash your hands, do you also take time to dry them fully?  

If you answered yes, you’re part of the majority of people who are taking more time to dry their hands to ward off sickness-causing germs, like coronavirus. Almost 90% of Americans realize that hand drying is important in reducing the risk of germs, including the coronavirus, according to the latest Healthy Handwashing Survey™. In fact, 73% are drying their hands more diligently due to the pandemic.

If you also experience high levels of aggravation when you encounter a paper towel dispenser that is empty, jammed or doesn’t dispense towels, you’re also in the vast majority of handwashers. Experiencing a lack of paper towels is a major pain point for three-fourths of Americans. Even worse, unworking towel dispensers in public restrooms is the most common reason for people to skip washing their hands altogether.

No matter if you have access to paper towels or a hand dryer, it’s very important to dry hands well to effectively complete the handwashing process. Certainly, the most efficient hand hygiene regimen always starts with thorough washing using soap and water for a full 20 seconds, as recommended by the CDC. Thorough drying – whether using paper towels or hand dryers – effectively removes any lingering germs on hands, particularly if adequate time is taken to complete the drying process.

Paper towels, in particular, have an added benefit when they are used to create a tangible paper barrier between hands and restroom surfaces. 63% of Americans use paper towels for avoiding restroom germs when they touch door handles, faucets, buttons, levers, etc. For facility managers, that means having plenty of paper towels in stock, and trash bins to contain used toweling.

Make hand drying dependable with Bradley’s new towel dispenser

Enter Bradley’s new electronic touchless roll towel dispenser. With reliable touch-free activation and jam-free operation, this advanced design completes the important step of drying in the handwashing process, while simplifying maintenance and lowering operational costs in washrooms.

Designed with state-of-the-art sensing technology, the dispenser turns paper jams into an annoyance of the past. Patented LiDAR sensors, which use a combination of light and radar, optimize battery life and provide the most reliable activation in the industry. No more annoying false activations and irritating starts and stops. The dispensers’ durability and reliability deliver long lasting performance and restroom user satisfaction.

A perfect fit for medium- to high-traffic areas, the towel dispenser is customizable to each facility’s application. Adjustable settings for sheet length, time delay, sensor range and dispensing mode control usage and make maintenance easy and predictable while helping to control paper usage and costs.

This roll towel dispenser is compatible with a variety of paper types – and no paper contract required – so facilities are able to source paper that provides the best value for its facility. Paper installs quickly with no winding or special feeding required, and the built-in stub roll uses 100% of the paper for zero waste and drops in place in seconds.

Two sleek surface-mounted models are available, including Model 2498 with ABS high-impact plastic cover and Model 2499 with a fingerprint-free 304 stainless steel cover. Both models offer a manual push bar for backup dispensing, translucent sight window to monitor paper levels, vandal resistant covers and are ADA compliant.

“Paper jams and non-working paper towel dispensers are significant pain points for most restroom users,” said Laura Stang, Senior Product Manager, Bradley Corp. “Our dispensers’ advanced LiDAR sensors eliminate that irritation and support hygienic hand drying, while the dispensers’ customization features enhance operational efficiency.”
