Keeping firefighters safe from harm

A firefighter’s equipment is all that stands between them and certain danger. However, the threat is over when the flame is extinguished.

Exposure to fire can leave harmful toxins on firefighters’ uniform and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), which can only be removed with an effective laundry strategy.

Our comprehensive range of laundry solutions is designed to remove most residual toxins during the washing and drying process, ensuring that equipment is clean and safe, ready for the next callout.

Take total control of hygiene

The Electrolux Professional Line 6000 Barrier Washers are designed to ensure total separation between contaminated and clean laundry. The machine features a singular loading point for used uniforms, with the unloading point featured on the reverse of the appliance.

The two sides are separated by a physical barrier, eliminating the risk of any cross-contamination, with the Hygiene Watchdog feature acting as an additional failsafe against accidental door openings.

Auto Inner Door Opening (AIDO) System

Our large inner-drum doors make loading and unloading the washer exceptionally easy, while our innovative opening mechanism pre-opens the inner-drum doors automatically at the end of the wash cycle. This enables the easy manual handling of large loads of wet linen while minimizing potential strain for the operator.

Operator wellbeing is our top priority

Whatever your technological requirements, our machines are designed to help your operators work in a safe and ergonomic way.

Hygiene Watchdog

Your Hygiene Partner: The Electrolux Professional Hygiene Watchdog (HW) ensures full-cycle completion so that all linen is fully washed and thoroughly decontaminated. This provides the maximum defense against the spread of microorganisms and cross-contamination, keeping germs at bay and your mind at rest.

Wash and sanitize PPE in steel, composite and more

A fire brigade’s washing requirements go far beyond that of just uniforms, which is where the Electrolux Professional PPE Washer come into play.

From boots and gloves to helmets, masks, and respirators, our range of solutions is designed to tackle grease, residue of combustion gases, and other hazardous substances on otherwise hard-to-wash equipment.

Whether it’s made of steel, composite, rubber, plastic, or something else entirely, our range of PPE Washer will ensure total sanitization, ready for re-use.

Fast and efficient drying for all fire brigade laundry

For an all-round drying solution, fire brigades need look no further than Electrolux Professional’s Line 6000 Drying Cabinets.

From exercise clothing to uniforms and PPE, a fire brigade’s entire laundry throughput can be processed, with a full range of accessories providing unrivalled flexibility. Using just 0.33kWh of energy per kg of laundry, our drying cabinets are also programmable to stop drying once the desired residual moisture level has been reached, cutting costs further and preventing overdrying of delicate materials.

This can be again taken a step further with a heat pump variant, offering up to a 40% saving on running costs.

Ergonomic operation that’s good for the environment

The Electrolux Professional Line 6000 Tumble Dryers are all you need to get your laundry from wet to dry.

First and foremost, the programs used by our solutions are designed to re-activate the impregnated layer in uniforms, keeping them fit-for-purpose for years to come.

From here, the Drum Speed feature automatically adjusts the mechanical operation of the drum based on the fabric inside, drying garments as quickly as possible, while the Moisture Balance function stops the cycle as soon as the garment is dry to prevent overdrying.

Designed with safe and repetitive operation in mind, the range holds the prestigious Ergocert four-star rating, and is equipped with a host of features to generate long-term savings.

Opting for a heat pump model over a traditional vented model can even reduce power consumption by up to 65% while offering comparable cycle times.

Realising tangible savings with automatic dosing

Electrolux Professional’s automatic dosing options, such as Jetsave, Dosave, and Efficient Dosing, provide crucial benefits for cleaning firefighter gear. These systems ensure the optimal use of detergent, reducing waste while delivering thorough cleaning results. Precise dosing prevents fabric damage and minimizes the risk of skin irritation caused by detergent overdosing, enhancing both safety and the lifespan of protective gear. By automating processes that are often manual, these systems also improve operational efficiency and can lead to significant cost savings for fire departments.
JETSAVE is a venturi-based technology, designed for easy installation, and programming for maximum savings.
