Fire and rescue laundry care

PODAB drying cabinet ProLine FC20 and TS63 E are specifically engineered for drying protective gear, providing a safer working environment for firefighters and ensuring a secure method for extending the lifespan of PPE and SCBA.

Advanced Care for Firefighter Gear

In the pioneering spirit of the 1990s, PODAB introduced the PPE drying cabinet with cutting-edge technology and features tailored for the demanding requirements of firefighting gear. Our commitment to advancing the industry led us to create drying cabinets with revolutionary hangers, a breakthrough design that dries heavy-duty garments from the inside, complemented by an internal hot air distribution system for thorough external drying. This groundbreaking approach set the stage for efficient and gentle drying processes, with customized programs meticulously tailored for protective gear.

At the heart of our commitment is ProLine FC 20, PODAB's premier PPE drying cabinets designed to cater specifically to the unique needs of protective gear. Offering drying programs customized for heavy-duty PPE, the FC 20 ensures a delicate and efficient drying process that contributes to the prolonged lifespan of essential firefighting equipment.

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.

Efficient drying solution for SCBA and stationwear

ProLine TS63 E is designed to meet the demanding drying needs of the fire and rescue industry, ensuring optimal care for essential gear. Engineered for maximum flexibility, it offers customizable interior configurations tailored for SCBA and stationwear. 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.
