DESCRIPTION
Girbau Gear Dryers are engineered to safely and quickly dry personal protective equipment, including turnout gear, special operations suits, helmets, gloves, boots, face masks and self-contained breathing apparatuses (SCBAs). Available in two models, the Gear Dryer and the Special Ops Gear Dryer both work by blowing a large volume of ambient air, at high pressure, safely through the garment—drying the body of the gear and also the hard-to-reach areas, such as inseam, collar and underarm. NFPA compliant, the dryers accommodate multiple sets of turnout and/or special ops gear simultaneously—ensuring it is safely dried and returned to service in hours, not days.
Product Specifications
Drying Technology. Dryers utilize a powerful and highly efficient 110-volt fan to push a large air volume through the garment from the inside out. This high-pressure flow ensures air effectively dries areas that are hard to reach without air loss—significantly decreasing dry time. Because the fan operates using ambient air, the dryers are more energy efficient than cabinet style dryers, which require heated air and align with requirements set forth by gear manufacturers. Thus, by using the Gear Dryer or the Special Ops Gear Dryer, fire departments ensure gear manufacturers’ warranties are NOT voided.
Flexibility for Gear Component Drying. Quick and easy to use, the Gear Dryer adapts to specific types and sizes of bunker gear without turning them inside out. The dryer can simultaneously accommodate up to six suits, along with helmets, gloves, boots, face masks and SCBAs.
