Saniflow® E85A-UL AUTOMATIC Durable Hand Dryer - Cast Iron Cover with White Porcelain Enamel Finish

Heavy-Duty Automatic Hand Dryer for High-Traffic Commercial Restrooms

The Saniflow E85A-UL automatic hand dryer is a sensor-operated, surface-mounted commercial dryer designed for maximum durability, hands-free hygiene, and long-term reliability. Built with a thick cast iron cover and white porcelain enamel finish, this unit is engineered for high-traffic environments where vandal resistance and consistent performance are critical.

Unlike push-button models, the E85A-UL uses an infrared sensor system, providing touch-free operation while maintaining the same proven internal components used across the Saniflow commercial line.

Built for Abuse

What separates the E85A-UL from standard automatic dryers is its 15/64” thick cast iron housing, making it one of the most durable sensor-operated units available.

• Porcelain enamel finish for corrosion resistance
• 360° rotating chrome nozzle for airflow flexibility

• Anti-vibration mounting system

This is a rare combination: automatic operation + extreme durability, which is why it performs well in demanding commercial settings.
