Electric Hand Dryer is an indispensable device in public restrooms, and its effectiveness directly impacts user hygiene experience and facility maintenance costs. To ensure the electric hand dryer operates efficiently over the long term, preventive maintenance is crucial. This article will discuss key maintenance measures for electric hand dryers to prolong their lifespan and maintain optimal performance.
Electric hand dryer filters are a critical component that ensures the equipment runs smoothly. Regularly inspecting the filters to ensure they are free from dust, hair, or large particles is necessary. If the filter is dirty, you can manually clean it or use compressed air, but be sure to follow local health alert procedures, and wear gloves and masks for safety. If you find the filter clogged with small particles, it should be replaced with a new one. Do not wash or wet the filter with any liquid to avoid damage.
By regularly maintaining the electric hand dryer filters, you can effectively prevent performance degradation due to clogged filters, thereby enhancing user experience and reducing the likelihood of equipment malfunctions.
If the electric hand dryer is equipped with a water tank, it should be regularly emptied and cleaned with soap and water. The cleaning frequency should be adjusted according to restroom usage. Additionally, the drainage pipe should be regularly cleaned with a pipe brush to prevent clogs. If the drainage pipe is completely blocked, it should be replaced with one that has the same characteristics. Keeping the water tank and drainage pipe clean not only helps the electric hand dryer operate normally but also prevents odors and bacterial growth, improving the overall hygiene level of the public restroom.
Electric hand dryers generally use an infrared (IR) light system to detect users' hands. The infrared LED panel needs to be regularly cleaned to prevent dust from interfering with the machine's detection system. When cleaning with a damp cloth, be sure to choose a non-abrasive material to avoid scratching the transparent plastic cover, which could affect the detection range or cause the dryer to stop working. Keeping the LED panel clean is another important step to ensure the electric hand dryer works efficiently.
Electric hand dryers also require regular external cleaning, especially in high-usage environments. Use a damp cloth, soap, and water to clean the dryer cover, avoiding abrasive cloths and corrosive chemicals. If the device has a stainless steel cover, special cleaning products designed for that material can be used. Including external cleaning as part of the restroom's routine cleaning procedures can effectively enhance user satisfaction with the device.
Electric hand dryers control boards and motors also require regular inspection. The control board can be cleaned using a dry brush or compressed air, ensuring the device is powered off during the operation. In high-traffic areas, it is recommended to inspect every six months; for medium to low traffic facilities, this can be extended to 12 months. For motors with brushes, the brush length should be checked regularly to ensure they are in good condition. If severe wear is found, the brushes should be replaced promptly to prevent motor damage.
