Fire Gear Drying Cabinet
The LA Fire Gear Drying Cabinet has been designed with the needs of firemen in mind. All aspects of the cabinet are geared toward drying more gear in a shorter amount of time.
Higher Capacity
The large capacity of the FC-6 allows for six suit racks for jackets and bibs, as well as six boot and glove racks all to be dried simultaneously. The FC-3 allows for three hanging racks and 3 boot and glove racks. And the high volume of airflow within the cabinet will process the goods faster. Flat goods can also be dried on the optional shelf rack.
Quality & Durability
Stainless steel construction provides the highest level of corrosion resistance in the industry. And the heavy construction ensures a long life of continued use.
Hangers and Boot/Glove Racks
The directed airflow design concentrates the hot air to where it needs to go the most, down the sleeves, into the body, and down the legs of the gear.
The optional boot and glove rack are similarly designed with hot air directed into the boots and gloves. This directed airflow provides heated air to the innermost reaches of the gear thereby drying evenly and quickly.
FC3
When equipped with the optional boot and glove rack, the FC3 will hold three sets of gear per cycle. Each set includes bibs, jacket, boots and gloves.
FC6
When equipped with the optional boot and glove rack, the FC6 will hold six sets of gear per cycle. Each set includes bibs, jacket, boots and gloves.
Directed and Controlled Airflow
Insertion air tubes provide heated airflow deeper into the jackets and bibs providing superior drying capabilities. Optional boot rack can also be used as insertion tubes from the leg up to increase directed airflow into the gear to quickly remove moisture.
Airflow
Airflow is extremely important in a drying cabinet. The blower on the FC Series cabinet is rated at 1200cfm.
Simplified Maintenance
Features “off the shelf” controls, heating elements and blowers that are locally available to simplify maintenance and save you money.
Controls
The FC cabinet is built with a UL control system to ensure the safety of the operator. This may seem to be a minor point to some, but your customer will feel secure knowing that the electrical cabinet has been built and certified with the high standards of the Underwriters Laboratories (UL).
Safety
Heating elements are coupled with a temperature probe and a high-limit safety switch to ensure internal temperatures will not rise above 105°F as specified in NFPA 1851 code.
Average Cycle Time
The FC Cabinet is programmable with an average of 60 minutes needed to dry gear.
This average cycle time is based off of reported performance from several firehouses that already have the FC Series cabinet installed.
