Advanced Care for Firefighter Gear

PODAB’s ProLine FC20 and TS63 E drying cabinets are specifically engineered for protective gear, ensuring a safer working environment for firefighters while extending the lifespan of PPE and SCBA. Designed with precision, the FC20 delivers gentle, inside-out drying, reducing wear and tear compared to traditional methods, while the TS63 offers a high-capacity solution that maintains the durability and effectiveness of essential firefighting equipment.

Pioneering the industry since the 1990s, PODAB introduced PPE drying cabinets with cutting-edge technology, revolutionizing how heavy-duty garments are dried. Our innovative hangers enable inside-out drying, while an advanced internal hot air distribution system ensures thorough external drying. This groundbreaking approach optimizes both efficiency and care, preserving the integrity of protective suits and breathing apparatus.

At the heart of our commitment is the ProLine FC20, offering customized drying programs tailored for firefighting gear. By combining precision engineering with advanced drying methods, we enhance firefighter safety and maximize the long-term investment in their equipment.

"ProLine FC 20 was designed with intensive research, experienced engineers, and innovative solutions to create a safer workplace for our professionals." - Head of engineering and design at PODAB

Enhancing firefighter safety and gear longevity

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.

Equip it with a single bar for standard hangers to efficiently dry turnout jackets, stationwear, and vests, or opt for ventilated shelves to safely dry helmets, SCBA masks, and other accessories that require a stable surface. This adaptability ensures that critical protective equipment is dried thoroughly and ready for the next call.

Dual drying system

The FC20 drying cabinet boasts specially developed hangers that engage in a dual drying process, gently and simultaneously drying PPE from both the inside and outside. This innovative method operates without resorting to mechanical action, significantly reducing wear and tear on the garments and gear, and ensuring their longevity in the demanding environments faced by firefighters. The result is not just an efficient drying process but also the assurance of longer lasting and more resilient protective gear.
