NFPA 1851 requires specialized machines with precise controls that remove contaminants while preserving protective layers. We provide purpose-built equipment and station layouts for immediate gear processing—no outside vendors needed. Your PPE stays clean, compliant, and ready.
Gear comes out free of soot, smoke particles, and toxic residues that can harm firefighter health.
Water temperature, extraction speed, and drying methods are all set to meet standards—no guesswork.
Cycles are programmed to protect moisture barriers, reflective trim, and stitching from damage.
Keep PPE moving through rotation without overbuying or waiting on off‑site cleaning.
Correct cleaning extends the life of costly gear, saving budget for other priorities.
Our soft‑mount washer extractors let you fine‑tune every wash—temperature, drum speed, cycle length—so you can be confident each load meets NFPA 1851 requirements. They remove contaminants without breaking down the gear’s structure. Available from 20 to 80 lbs, they fit both small volunteer stations and high‑volume departments.
Standard tumble dryers can run too hot for PPE, breaking down its protective properties. Our drying cabinets and gear stands use gentle airflow and real‑time temperature monitoring, staying within safe limits while getting gear completely dry.
We don’t just deliver machines—we help design the whole setup. From drainage and water supply to electrical access and airflow, we make sure the space works for safe, efficient gear handling. Whether you’re upgrading or starting from scratch, we’ll build it for daily use, not just inspection day.
PPE isn’t just tough—it’s a carefully engineered, multi‑layered system meant to keep you safe while still letting you move and breathe. Push it too hard with heat, spin, or the wrong detergent, and you can weaken the very materials meant to protect you. Fowler systems are built to avoid those mistakes.
The right laundry setup keeps your crew safer and your gear in service longer.
