Designed specifically for firefighter PPE to reduce exposure to carcinogens, toxic particulates, and biohazards.
An advanced washer-extractor ensures firefighter safety by removing harmful contaminants like carcinogens and biohazards, reducing health risks. Its gentle cleaning process preserves the integrity of PPE, extending its lifespan and maintaining its protective capabilities. This safeguards lives while maximizing the value of essential gear.
Decontaminating firefighter PPE is vital to reducing exposure to carcinogens, toxic particulates, and biohazards. Our advanced washer-extractors feature five specialized wash cycles tailored to eliminate embedded soot, hydrocarbons, and biological contaminants – all while preserving the protective integrity of turnout gear. Automated programming ensures consistent cleaning and prevents over-agitation or chemical damage, giving departments peace of mind and optimal performance.
Compliance isn’t optional – it’s essential. Our extractors will meet the new NFPA 1850, the gold standard for PPE care, consolidating and updating prior standards (NFPA 1851 and NFPA 1852) into a unified, comprehensive framework. In the meantime, our extractors are fully compliant with the current edition of NFPA 1851. With this solution, departments stay aligned with national safety guidelines while extending the lifespan of costly protective equipment.
Time matters. The 10-minute spin cycle extracts moisture fast, slashing drying times and preventing mildew or fiber damage. Faster turnaround means your gear is ready when you need it – dry, safe, and operational.
Precision matters. The smart dosing system dispenses the exact amount of detergent for each cycle, ensuring effective contaminant reduction without residue that could irritate skin or compromise fabric. Automated dosing saves time, reduces waste, and keeps departments compliant with NFPA standards.
Flexibility meets practicality. The soft-mount design simplifies installation – no reinforced concrete floors or complex anchoring required. Hard-mount systems are available for facilities needing extra stability, ensuring adaptability to any setup.
One size doesn’t fit all. Whether you’re a volunteer department or a large municipal organization, we offer configurations that suits your needs with the capacities 20, 40, and 55 lbs. Additional configurations are available upon request, giving departments the freedom to select the perfect fit for their operational demands.
Engineered for the tough conditions of fire rescue environments, our washer-extractors feature commercial-grade construction with reinforced drums, high-performance motors, and corrosion-resistant components. Designed specifically for PPE, they withstand heavy use without compromising the gear or the machine.
With a 3-year parts warranty and an extended 5-year coverage on critical components, this system is built for longevity and backed by unmatched support. Protect your investment and ensure continuous operation with confidence.
Our extractors meet the new NFPA 1850 standard that consolidates previous NFPA standards into a unified framework, while remaining fully compliant with the current NFPA 1851 edition. This ensures departments align with national safety standards and prioritize their crew’s health and future.
How to clean your PPE equipment
In order to minimize the risk for firefighters of being diagnosed with cancer we need to minimize their exposure to cancer causing toxic chemicals such as PAH particles. One way of doing that is trough thorough cleaning and decontamination of the PPE equipment. There are a few things to always bare in mind while doing so.
Cancer – the Number One Cause of Death Among Firefighters
According to numerous studies cancer is the number one cause of death among firefighters. In North America cancer caused 61% of the career firefighter line-of-duty deaths from January 1, 2002, to March 31, 2017. Firefighters also run a 9% higher risk of being diagnosed with cancer and a 14% higher risk of dying from cancer than the general population.
