Description and use
This automatic or manual hand dryer is designed to dry hands quickly and offer
a high level of performance. The unit has an aluminium cover, to prevent
damage, which can only be opened with a key and incorporates special
protection devices. The outlet nozzle can be oriented at 360° and has internal
protection grille.
These features make the unit ideal for use in public areas.
Automatic versions (Metal Dry Automatic, Metal Dry Ultra A and Metal Dry
Super) come with an infrared sensor which must be protected from direct
sunlight and from intense lighting, particularly when installed outdoors (e.g.
camping grounds, building yards, swimming pools, etc)
