Model 155-GXT8M - Surface Mounted White Enamel Finished, Automatic Hand Dryer

Why buy American Dryer?

The American Dryer GXT8M automatic hand dryer is a high-performance unit that dries hands up to 2-3 times faster than conventional hand dryers. The unique, stylish design saves 95% versus the use of paper towels and consumes around 80% less electricity than conventional hand dryers. GXT hand dryers are designed with the consumer in mind, economical, affordable, and dependable - providing years of trouble-free operation.

The GXT8M has a white one-piece heavy-duty, flame retardant ABS polymer finish that resists scratching and is easy to clean. The powerful 5/8 HP motor has a commutated through-flow discharge vacuum motor / blower with automatic resetting thermal protector. This commercial hand dryer has a microprocessor controlled infrared sensor that turns the dryer off when hands are not beneath the outlet. The dryer also turns off after 80 seconds regardless, which is ideal in the situation where an inanimate object could be placed beneath the dryer. The heating elements are constructed of NiChrome resistant wire that operate in the black range to increase the life expectancy of your hand dryer. These heating elements are enclosed, making it inaccessible to vandals. The tamper resistant screws secure the cover to the base and the blower intake is shielded, both as ways to minimize the risk of vandalism.

American Dryer backs this GXT model hand dryer with a 10-year limited warranty.
