American DR Series Hand & Hair Dryers

Model 155-DR20N - Surface Mounted Push Button Hand Dryer with 30 Second Timer

This American Dryer DR20N hand dryer offers exceptional construction, while retaining affordability. This durable hand dryer hails from the best selling DR line of American Dryers. These units come with a one piece heavy duty 16 gauge steel or optional 18 gauge type 304 series stainless steel exterior cover. The electrostatically applied white enamel finish is resistant to chipping as well as harsh cleaning agents.

The interior of this DR20N hand dryer is all about performance. A permanently lubricated, maintenance free, brushless induction motor features an automatic resetting thermal protector. A timer inside the unit controls the amount of time air can flow from the unit. The heating elements are constructed of NiChrome resistant wire with an automatic resetting thermostat. A side mounted heating element operates in the "black range" for maximum life.

There are two ways an American Dryer DR hand dryer can work. A timer inside the unit controls the amount of time air can flow from the unit. A slight push of a button can start the air flow, while the timer turns this flow off automatically after a certain amount of time, which increases the life of the unit and cuts energy consumption as well as utility costs for your business. The other operating method available utilizes an automatic sensor that begins air flow when hands are placed beneath the nozzle and stops the flow of air when hands are removed. An automatic override turns the dryer off in 80 seconds if hands are not removed.

American Dryer backs this hand dryer, as well as all DR series dryers, have a 10-year limited warranty, which includes same day factory repair or part replacement. A 5 year sensor warranty is also included. All American Dryer products are manufactured in the USA.
