UniMac’s PEE drying cabinet builds on the company’s commitment to firehouse laundries, offering a safe way to dry PPE and return it to service fast.

The cabinet uses a unique design to dry bunker gear gently. It forces heated air through hangers to dry bunker gear from the inside out. Air also is circulated through the cabinet’s side panel, allowing it to move upward and around the outside of equipment. This unique, dual-side airflow delivers fast, efficient drying of both the inside and outside of gear. Because there is no tumble action, gear avoids excess wear.

To increase the efficiency of the unit and help departments keep operating costs down, air is recirculated.

The dryer comes with a user-friendly programmable control and simple push-button start, while removable hangers allow for easier handling. Optional racks enable departments to use the unit to dry boots and gloves.

When the PPE drying cabinet is combined with UniMac’s UW model washer-extractor, departments have a total laundry solution and the versatility to help them meet NFPA 1851 standards.
