An automatic hand dryer automatically generates heated air to dry wet hands. It uses an infrared sensor to detect hands and hand movements. It can automatically shut off after a period of time or stop generating heat when it does not sense hand movements anymore. It is commonly used in bathrooms, washrooms, kitchens, and near utility sinks.
Types of Automatic Hand Dryers
Kinds of Automatic Hand Dryers include the following:

Recessed-mounted automatic hand dryer
A recessed-mounted automatic hand dryer is designed to be mounted on set back or indented enclosures.
It is larger and bulkier than a surface-mounted model, making it more stable and secure.

Choosing Automatic Hand Dryers (Buying tips)
Exterior temperature: For a safe operation, choose an automatic hand dryer with an exterior that remains cool to the touch while generating heated air.
