Fire fighter garments are bulky.
Therefore machines with a large drum volume and a big door opening are recommended.
High spin front load washers or barrier washers machines with a programmable control and special wash programs are most suitable for two reasons:
- The uniforms might have a membrane layer which can create a “water pocket” giving extreme unbalance during extraction. An high spin washer is not that sensitive to heavy unbalance.
- Low extraction will not damage the very expensive illumination stripes in the garment.
Garments need to be impregnated
After washing, the garments need to be impregnated to protect fire fighters. This process divides in two main steps: the chemical impregnant is properly dosed by the washing machine (the washer extractor) and then fixed in a specific dryer, expressly designed for Fire Brigades.
