What Is the Difference Between XL-BW Models?
Excel Dryer designed the XL-BW series to offer flexibility based on facility requirements.
Standard white thermoset resin model with adjustable heat and speed settings. Approximately 8-second dry time under optimal settings.
Similar to the XL-BW but includes a factory-installed HEPA filtration system to help capture particles from restroom air before it reaches hands.
Energy-efficient configuration designed to operate at reduced wattage while maintaining effective drying performance (approximately 10-second dry time).
Combines HEPA filtration with low-watt ECO operation for facilities prioritizing both hygiene and sustainability.
This range allows building owners to select the right combination of performance, hygiene, and energy efficiency.
Built for High-Traffic Commercial Environments
The XL-BW series is ideal for:
• Schools and universities
• Restaurants and hospitality
• Office buildings
• Airports and transit hubs
• Healthcare facilities
• Government buildings
The durable white thermoset resin housing resists cracking and impact, making it suitable for continuous commercial use.
High-Speed Drying Performance
The standard XL-BW and XL-BWH models deliver approximately 8-second dry times using high-velocity airflow technology. ECO configurations extend dry time slightly (around 10 seconds) while significantly reducing power consumption.
Adjustable speed and heat settings allow facility managers to customize performance based on restroom traffic and energy goals.
Energy Efficiency & Operating Cost Savings
The ECO models in the XL-BW series are engineered to reduce electrical load compared to traditional warm-air dryers. Switching from paper towels to XLERATOR models can help reduce:
• Paper towel purchasing costs
• Waste disposal expenses
• Plumbing blockages
• Maintenance labor
Over time, commercial facilities often see strong return on investment.
HEPA Filtration for Enhanced Hygiene
The “H” versions (XL-BWH and XL-BWH-ECO) include HEPA filtration designed to help capture airborne particles before airflow reaches users’ hands. This feature is particularly attractive for healthcare facilities, offices, and hygiene-focused environments.
ADA & Installation Considerations
When installed according to manufacturer guidelines and proper mounting height, select XL-BW configurations may meet ADA projection requirements. Surface-mounted installation makes these models suitable for both new construction and retrofit projects.
Compatible recess kits may also be available to further reduce wall projection when needed.
Available Configurations in This Series
This collection may include:
• Standard XL-BW
• HEPA XL-BWH
• ECO low-watt models
• HEPA + ECO configurations
• Multiple voltage options
• Optional accessory upgrades
Each maintains the proven XLERATOR platform performance.
