Pebble Mini – Hand Dryer

The Pebble Mini has a low environmental impact, producing 90% less CO2 compared to other dryers.

The Pebble Mini comes equipped with a smart HEPA iFilter, an intelligent filter that informs you when a new filter is required, maintaining hygienic protocol. The HEPA filter captures up to 99.97% of allergens, bacteria, and pollutants.

 What is ION PURE? 

ION PURE is a soluble glass solution containing antimicrobial metal ions that are impregnated into the Pebble shell during the manufacturing process, creating a germ and bacteria resistant finish.

 How does it work? 

Silver and Copper metal ions have antimicrobial properties that kill bacteria. Glass retains metal as ions and releases them gradually in the presence of water or moisture. So, the materials are mixed together to create a solution that can be added to a product at manufacturing stages, giving it an inbuilt layer of protection against bacteria.

 The actual science (aka the boring bit) 

The Silver and Copper metal ions infused in the glass solution have an antimicrobial effect on bacteria because they penetrate or affix to their cell membranes. When the metal ions break through the cell membrane, they block the cells respiration and attach to their DNA, preventing growth. By disrupting and compromising the cells structural integrity, the metal ions cause catastrophic structural failure, which ultimately leads to the elimination of the bacteria.
