Frequently Asked Questions

The cleaning of personal protective equipment (PPE) is of the utmost importance for the health and safety of firefighters. Firefighting gear can save lives and protects against dangerous toxins during firefighting operations. Proper professional cleaning removes harmful smoke gases that would otherwise remain detectable in the equipment for a long time and pose a health risk. With their own laundry facility equipped with professional machines from STAHL, fire departments can ensure that their PPE is cleaned to the highest standard.

If there is no in-house laundry facility, operational gear must be cleaned by external laundries. Cleaning often takes several days. It is therefore necessary for the fire department to have access to alternative operational gear during this time, which means it must invest in expensive replacement gear. Having an in-house laundry facility equipped with STAHL machines provides peace of mind and ensures that protective gear is ready for use again as quickly as possible. In addition, the need for transportation and coordination associated with external cleaning is completely eliminated. Operational gear can be cleaned at any time as needed.

External service providers are usually not specialized in cleaning protective gear. As a result, the quality of the laundry often does not meet the standards required by fire departments. The quality of the laundry varies, and there is a risk that sensitive parts of the protective equipment will be damaged. STAHL’s professional washing machines, dryers, and drying cabinets enable hygienic cleaning of PPE that is gentle on fabrics. The operational gear remains ready for use for a long time, is thoroughly cleaned, and thus provides the highest level of protection for fire department personnel.

STAHL’s washing machines, dryers, and drying cabinets are ideal for cleaning personal protective equipment (PPE), helmets, boots, gloves, and respirators. Fire departments can set up their own in-house laundry facilities with STAHL machines to meet their specific needs.

The ATOLL professional washing machine from STAHL thoroughly and gently cleans and waterproofs protective clothing. Even respirators come out hygienically clean in the ATOLL.

The DIVIMAT partitioned washing machine is ideal for any area where strict separation of black and white items is required to prevent contamination by hazardous substances.

STAHL's professional dryers make it easy and efficient to dry firefighting and emergency response gear, as well as respirators.

The STAHL TS 1300 drying cabinet is recommended for the particularly gentle drying of protective clothing, respirators, shoes, and equipment such as fire hoses and helmets, which should not be dried in a dryer. The textiles are not subjected to any mechanical stress inside the drying cabinet. The clothing hangs on a hanger—carabiners, buckles, Velcro fasteners, reflective strips, and printed designs remain undamaged, and all areas are dried evenly.

Thanks to sophisticated technology and innovative features, all STAHL machines for cleaning and drying workwear are exceptionally robust, durable, energy-efficient, water-saving, and gentle on fabrics.
