Key Features & Benefits Rapid Interior Drying – Unlike standard air drying, this unit uses heated or high-volume filtered air, often delivered through dual, flexible hoses, to quickly dry upholstery, carpets, and floor mats. This prevents mildew, mould, and unpleasant odours. High-Powered Performance – Built for commercial use, it features a powerful motor and heating element, capable of reaching temperatures of around 52°C, ensuring fast moisture extraction. Dual-Hose System -Two heavy-duty hoses, allowing the operator to dry multiple areas simultaneously or even service two vehicles at once, maximising operational efficiency. The hoses are typically placed through slightly open windows. Mobile and Durable Design – Constructed with a rugged, industrial-grade frame and mounted on heavy-duty wheels or castors, the unit is easily manoeuvrable between drying bays. Professional Finish – By eliminating residual moisture, the valet dryer ensures the vehicle is delivered to the customer in a pristine, ready-to-use condition, reflecting a high standard of professional service. Product overview of the Valet Dryer 230 V – Mobile – 100mm Rubber Ducting Heavy Duty Hose – Maximum Air Flow with Hose Stands – Cold Air Function for Energy Saving & Load Shedding – Industrial Grade Rubber Wheels Technical Specifications Motor (kW) 0.13 Power Supply (V) 220-230 Element (W) 3 X 1 500 Max Temp (°C) 52 Min Temp (°C) Ambient Weight (kg) Additional Information When it is Used: The dryer is used after the car’s interior has been wet-cleaned, shampooed, or extracted, which is often part of a full valet service. This is especially helpful during colder seasons when upholstery takes a long time to dry naturally. Functionality: The machine contains a blower and a heater, which work together to circulate heated air. The combination of a hot air generator and diffusion pipes allows for the quick drying of seats, mats, and the trunk. Hose Placement: The unit is supplied with two long hoses (often reinforced with supporting cages). These hoses are placed inside the vehicle, typically by being inserted through the open windows. Drying Process: The machine blows heated air into the sealed or mostly-closed interior, which greatly reduces the overall drying time for the entire cabin. This allows the seats and carpets to dry in a very short time, which helps speed up the time it takes to deliver the vehicle back to the customer.
