Turnout gear drying cabinet

Key features:

K8 – High-Capacity Drying Cabinet

The K8 drying cabinet is a wide, high-capacity dryer made for drying 6–9 coats or pants. With the same internal height as the K3 but a wider design, it is ideal for users who need more clothing capacity without the need for frames. 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. Time-based drying is also available.

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)
  • Small PPE items such as gloves or masks (use the K6 for this functionality)


Before drying

Only place protective clothing in the cabinet after the items have been properly cleaned and disinfected. The K8 is designed for drying only.

About the K-series

  • K3 – compact cabinet for up to 3 coats or pants
  • K6 – wider cabinet, suitable for drying clothing plus small PPE
  • K8 – same height as K3, wider capacity (6–9 coats or pants)
  • K10 – tall cabinet for 10 coats/pants or 5 coveralls


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.
