Laundry solutions for firefighting and rescue services

Specialized care for firefighter equipment

PODAB’s ProLine FC20 and TS63 E drying cabinets are specifically designed for protective gear, ensuring a safer working environment for firefighters and extending the lifespan of PPE and SCBA. The FC20 offers gentle inside-out drying, reducing wear and tear compared to traditional methods, while the TS63 provides a high-capacity solution that preserves the durability and performance of critical firefighting equipment.

Since the 1990s, PODAB has been pioneering the industry with advanced PPE drying cabinets, revolutionizing the drying process for heavy-duty garments. Our innovative hangers enable inside-out drying, while an advanced internal hot air distribution system ensures thorough drying on both the inside and outside. This groundbreaking approach maximizes efficiency and care, maintaining the integrity of protective suits and breathing apparatus.

At the core of our dedication is the ProLine FC20, which offers tailored drying programs designed specifically for firefighting gear. By combining precision engineering with cutting-edge drying techniques, we enhance firefighter safety and protect long-term investments in their equipment.

Improving firefighter safety and extending gear lifespan

The FC20 drying cabinet is truly a testament to collaboration and innovation. The FC20 stems from our partnership with Healthy Firefighters in Sweden and the visionary contribution of Stefan Magnusson. Stefan, the founder of Healthy Firefighters, played a pivotal role in shaping the project. Leveraging his well-established method, “The Swedish Way,” new routines were developed for fire stations. These routines focused on reducing firefighters’ exposure to dangerous substances and ensuring the optimal care of their gear.

Central to the FC20’s design is an optimal drying process that operates without mechanical action. This superior process enhances the longevity of protective gear. The unique construction, coupled with the special hangers, ensures an efficient and gentle drying process for PPE.

Optimized drying solution for SCBA and stationwear

The ProLine TS63 E is specifically designed to meet the rigorous drying demands of the fire and rescue industry, providing optimal care for essential gear. Built for maximum flexibility, it offers customizable interior configurations for SCBA and stationwear. You can equip it with a single bar for standard hangers to efficiently dry turnout jackets, stationwear, and vests, or choose ventilated shelves to safely dry helmets, SCBA masks, and other accessories that need a stable surface. This versatility ensures that critical protective equipment is thoroughly dried and ready for the next emergency.

Dual drying system for comprehensive moisture removal

The FC20 drying cabinet features specially designed hangers that implement a dual drying process, gently drying PPE from both the inside and outside at the same time. This innovative method eliminates the need for mechanical action, minimizing wear and tear on garments and gear, and enhancing their durability in the tough conditions encountered by firefighters. The outcome is an efficient drying process that also ensures longer-lasting, more resilient protective equipment.
