INITIAL LAUNCHES LUNA DRY, A MORE
HYGIENIC HAND DRYER WITH A LOWER
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Initial Washroom Hygiene has launched Luna Dry and Luna Mini Dry, the latest
innovations to its hand dryer range. Engineered to be Initial’s most e icient and
hygienic hand drying solution, both models are available in three high gloss UV
anti-scratch finishes.
With an average drying
time of 12 seconds, the
Luna Dry range can help
to play an important
role in boosting hand
hygiene, given that damp
hands have been shown
to spread 1,000 times
more bacteria than dry
ones.
Both models have been
engineered using ION
Pure Technology. The
soluble glass solution
contains antimicrobial
metal ions that are
integrated into the outer
case during the manufacturing process, creating a germ and bacteria resistant
finish.
In addition, this solution also aligns with businesses’ sustainability objectives –
producing up to 90% less CO2 compared to other hand dryers.

increasingly important part of sustainable homes,
o ices and industrial complexes, we will continue to
invest in growth opportunities in the coming years.”
Hans Jacobs, Chief Operating O icer for Spirotech,
added: “Combining the knowledge and experience of
Spirotech and EDER with innovation and the delivery
of quality products and services enables us to provide
future-proof solutions better and faster.
“The production of the Spirotech range will remain
located in Helmond, in The Netherlands, and will be
expanded here in the coming years so that we can
continue to meet the expected market growth.
“In addition, we have already purchased additional
land in Leisach in Austria to enable us to expand our
production capacity for the expected increase in
demand for pressurisation products.”
