Key features:

M18 – Breathing mask / face piece dryer

The M18 is a compact PPE drying cabinet. It’s main use case is the drying of up to 18 masks / face pieces. Simply place the wet equipment inside, and let the drying cabinet do its work. Sensors inside the cabinet detect when the masks are dry and shuts off automatically.

In addition, other small PPE items can also be cleaned inside the M18. Simply choose the right basket and place it inside the dryer.

Can dry

  • Up to 18 breathing masks / face pieces
  • Helmets
  • Other small PPE


Cannot dry

  • Protective clothing (choose a K-series dryer)
  • SCBAs (choose the M45B)


Before drying

To disinfect and clean small PPE items, we recommend using either the Wash 9 (fits 9 masks) or the wash 36 (fits 36 masks). For other cleaning needs, we recommend taking a look at our complete washing lineup.

Position in product range

The M18 is our most compact dryer. If your station has greater breathing mask drying needs, check out the M45, which can dry up to 45 masks per batch. For drying SCBAs, we recommend using the M45B, which can fit either 45 masks or up to 6 SCBAs. For the drying of protective clothing, check out one of our K dryers, such as the K3.
