F12U – SCBA Drying Cabinet
(Certified for use in North America only. Are you based elsewhere? Check out the F12)
The F12U drying cabinet is a high-capacity dryer made for drying up to 12 SCBAs at once. The included stainless steel trolley (AF12) allows all 12 units to be hung on two levels and rolled directly into the cabinet. Once inside, the cabinet dries the SCBAs fully automatically: sensors detect when the equipment is dry and shut the system off. Time-based drying is also available.
The main advantage of a drying cabinet is the controlled low-temperature airflow, ensuring fast and uniform drying without unnecessary wear.
In addition, the F12U can be used for drying breathing masks and other small PPE when combined with optional basket trolleys.

Before drying
To disinfect and clean small PPE items, we recommend using the Wash 9U (fits 9 masks). For cleaning SCBAs and other PPE items, check out Harstra’s other cleaners (Wash 4U, Wash 6UHP, Wash 9UHP).
Position in product range
The F12U is our largest drying cabinet for SCBAs. If your station needs a more compact option, check out the M45UB, which can dry up to 45 masks or 6 SCBAs. For breathing mask–only drying, the M18U and M45U offer dedicated capacity for 18 or 45 masks per batch.
