K3

Turnout gear drying cabinet

Key features:

K3 – Turnout Gear Drying Cabinet

The K3 drying cabinet is a “set-and-forget” firefighter gear dryer, made for drying up to 3 coats or pants. Place the wet gear inside and let the drying cabinet do the work. Built-in sensors detect when the PPE is fully dry and shut the system off automatically. The automatic drying cycle takes approximately 2 hours. You can also choose a time-based drying program.

The main advantage of a drying cabinet compared to a tumble dryer is the significantly reduced wear and tear.

Can dry

Protective clothing (coats, jackets, pants)

Cannot dry

One-piece suits / coveralls (choose the K10)
SCBAs (choose the M45B)

Before drying

Only place protective clothing in the cabinet after the items have been properly cleaned and disinfected. The K3 is designed for drying only.

About the K-series

Recommendations

For drying SCBAs, choose the M45B.
For a mix of turnout gear and small PPE items, choose the K6.
For dedicated small-PPE drying, use the M18 (compact) or M45 (large).
For drying a combination of SCBAs and small PPE, consider the F12 or M45B.
