Who makes Sloan hand dryers

Sloan’s wall-mounted dryers include the Sloan XLERATOR, Sloan XLERATOReco, and Sloan Optima Air families. These correspond to the well-known Excel Dryer lines. Sloan XLERATOR and XLERATOReco align with Excel Dryer XLERATOR technology. Sloan Optima Air aligns with Excel Dryer ThinAir in form factor and electrical profiles. If your drawings call for Sloan part numbers, we quote Sloan. If your standard is Excel Dryer, we provide the equivalent configuration so performance, mounting, and electrical characteristics match your project.

Families we support

  • Sloan XLERATOR
    High-speed, sensor-activated drying with typical sub-15-second cycles, adjustable speed and heat, multiple finishes, and common voltages. HEPA filtration available on many configurations.
  • Sloan XLERATOReco
    High-speed, no-heat variant designed for very low wattage while maintaining quick cycles. Ideal where panel capacity is limited.
  • Sloan Optima Air
    Slim, surface-mounted ADA profile about 4 inches deep with adjustable heat and speed. This corresponds to Excel Dryer ThinAir and is selected when ADA protrusion limits or lower wattage are priorities.

Selection guidance from our team

  • Match power and circuiting
    Sloan XLERATOR families are available in 110 to 120 volt, 208 to 240 volt, and 277 volt options. Confirm site voltage and units per circuit during submittals.
  • Cycle time and energy
    XLERATOR targets 10 to 15 second dry times through high-speed airflow. XLERATOReco removes heat to reduce wattage. Optima Air maintains a slim ADA profile and lower sound. Choose based on throughput, acoustics, and energy allowances.
  • Filtration
    HEPA filtration is available on XLERATOR, XLERATOReco, and ThinAir-equivalent Optima Air configurations. Confirm whether HEPA is required by policy before ordering.
  • Covers and finishes
    Sloan offers white, stainless look, polished metallic, and textured finishes. For abuse-prone areas, specify vandal-resistant covers.

Ordering and cross-quoting

If your plans list Sloan EHD codes, send the takeoff and we will quote Sloan directly. If your organization prefers Excel Dryer model codes, we cross-reference to the Sloan branded equivalents so you get the same performance, rough-in, and electrical characteristics. For value engineering, we provide side-by-side pricing for Sloan and Excel Dryer equivalents along with any finish or filtration differences.

Practical rule: Start with the Sloan base code, align the finish letters to the Excel cover code, add ECO or HEPA if required, then specify the correct voltage.

Common project scenarios

  • Standardization across brands
    Facilities standardized on Sloan flushometers and faucets often prefer Sloan branded dryers for visual consistency. We match covers and finishes across the room set.
  • Energy and circuit constraints
    Where panel capacity is tight, XLERATOReco helps increase the number of units per circuit. ThinAir-equivalent Optima Air supports an ADA profile with lower wattage.
  • Hygiene upgrades
    For healthcare, lab, and food service support areas, configure XLERATOR, XLERATOReco, or Optima Air with HEPA when specified.
