In-house R&D capabilities
Airdri is built on engineering excellence. Our research and development is in-house at our UK headquarters in Oxford and we have in purpose built laboratories in both Oxford and Guangzhou, as well as our own design and testing facilities. Every component from motor brushes to filters is intricately designed – by us.
Our 50+years of sector-leading innovation results in hand dryers that are more energy efficient and sustainable, and so reliable that we offer an industry-leading 7 year warranty.
Facilities
Our team of electrical and mechanical engineers has access to a fully equipped design and development lab, as well as a custom-built, soundproof dryer testing facility that can accommodate up to ten products simultaneously.
It was in this facility that the team conceived the PowerDRI, our first blade hand dryer. Key components were meticulously crafted using 3D printed parts to ensure optimal performance and reliability. As the project progressed from concept to production, our teams in the UK and China collaborated to source and develop numerous components, ensuring a smooth transition into manufacturing.
Our lab facility also successfully achieved a dryer lifecycle of over 10,000 hours, compared to the approximately 1,000 hours typical of most other jet dryer units.
We were the first hand dryer manufacturer in the world to be awarded the ‘Quiet Mark’ from the UK Noise Abatement Society. We continue to lead the way in shaping international industry standards for sound level reduction.
Our CompactDRI model boasts an incredibly low sound output, making it 18% quieter than the industry standard. Operating at just 70 dBA, it is one of the quietest hand dryers on the market, allowing normal-level human speech to continue during use.
