Dual Purpose Dryer

After contaminated hose and turnout gear has been thoroughly and safely washed, it is necessary for it to be dried in a quick and safe manner.

Circul-Air Drying Cabinets provide a safe and more economical alternative to the cost of towers and the damaging practice of drying on hot pavement or in intense sunlight – both of which have the potential to damage expensive equipment.

Fresh air is drawn over thermostatically controlled, 1000-watt heater strips by a high volume, top mounted axial fan. Variable dryer settings can maintain an optimum hose drying temperature. Or, as an alternative to the warm air settings available, the ambient air setting dries without heat.

Circul-Air’s Dual Purpose Dryer allows hose and turnout gear to be dried quickly and safely, minimizing shrinkage while ensuring a rapid return to service. When emergencies arise, you want your equipment ready to go, so it’s essential to get hose and turnout gear back into service as quickly as possible. Circul-Air’s high-capacity drying cabinet handles up to 500 feet of 5-inch hose. Ten removable galvanized steel shelves permit other items to be dried in the cabinet, and a 12-hour timer shuts down the dryer automatically. You’ll use less energy and never overheat and damage the hose.
