Why a drying cabinet

What the ECODRY 1300 does for your gear

A drying cabinet is not a convenience purchase. It keeps your gear ready for service longer, it keeps it hygienic, and it restores the water-repellent finish after washing.

Gear care

Dries without harming your gear

Heat is the enemy of turnout gear. The condensation technology works in a closed loop at a very low operating temperature, with the gear hanging and no drum.

  • membrane, reflective trim, Velcro and seams last longer
  • no mechanical stress as in a tumble dryer
  • longer service life for your gear

Sollstar itself names damage from drying too hot as the main problem when storing personal gear.

Hygiene

Ozone generator fitted as standard

Both sizes come with an ozone generator and air filters. It works during drying and also clears the odors, so the gear is ready for service again.

  • removes bacteria, mold, mites and fungi
  • prevents their growth
  • removes odors from clothing and gear
  • ozone-free option: UV-C or plasma on request

Figures from the 2025 Sollstar brochure. We will only state percentages for germ reduction once a test report is available.

After washing

Reactivates the fluorocarbon finish

The outer shell of turnout gear is often treated with fluorocarbon resins. This water-repellent finish only cross-links again with heat, and for that the cabinet runs above 70 °C.

  • above 70 °C for cross-linking after washing
  • very low temperature for everyday use
  • one cabinet, two operating modes

The 70 °C figure comes from the technical information on cleaning fire department protective clothing on atemschutzunfaelle.de. Your clothing manufacturer’s care instructions take precedence.

Interior

What the cabinet holds at once

8 pairs of boots, 8 pairs of gloves, 8 helmets or masks and 8 hangers at once. You mount hooks, hangers and shelves wherever you need them, and rearrange the configuration when your gear changes. Tap a number in the image.

  1. 6 h, 24 h or 7-day program. After that, the cabinet works without further input.

  2. At least one hanging rail is included. Additional rails are available as add-ons.

  3. Stainless steel hangers, one item per hanger: jacket or pants. That leaves room for the air to circulate. 8 hanger spaces, which makes 4 complete sets.

  4. Lengths from 260 to 700 mm. 8 pairs of gloves hang pair by pair in the airflow.

  5. Hooks and hangers sit in the modular inner wall and can be repositioned at any time when your gear changes.

  6. The open hook holds the helmet in the airflow, the closed one also guides it. The same holder is available for SCBA masks.

  7. Lengths from 260 to 500 mm, to match the shaft height of your boots. Room for 8 pairs.

  8. Hinged on the left or right, with a turn lock. Other locks and access control on request.

Tech

How it dries in a closed loop

Three steps in a closed loop. Radiators, the apparatus bay and warm air without a closed loop leave the moisture in the room, while the ECODRY drains it off as condensate.

Four steps

How a drying cycle works

From hanging the gear in to taking it out. The cabinet needs no more handling than that, and it is serviced once a year.

  1. Load

    Distribute jacket, pants, boots, gloves, helmets and masks across hangers, hooks and shelves, one item per hanger. Close the door.

  2. Pick a program

    Set 6 h, 24 h or the 7-day program on the timer. After that, the cabinet works without further input.

  3. Drain off

    The water collects in the closed loop as condensate and runs into a container or into a fixed drain.

  4. Unload

    Take out the gear, hang in the next load. The cabinet stays plugged into the same outlet.

FAQs

What to clarify before procurement

Door sizes, gear sets, installation site, condensate, operation, delivery. The answers come from the 2025 Sollstar brochure and our consultation with the manufacturer.

Questions? We're standing by. Call us: +49 1522 8790057

Will the cabinet fit through our doors?

The ECODRY SET 8 is 2,110 mm high, 1,300 mm wide and 830 mm deep, the SET 4 is 650 mm wide. Before ordering, measure the clear height and width along the entire route to the installation site. We clarify in the quote whether Sollstar delivers the cabinet lying flat or takes it apart.

How many sets of gear fit in the ECODRY 1300?

4 complete sets. One hanger holds one item, jacket or pants, otherwise not enough air circulates. The ECODRY 1300 has 8 hanger spaces, plus hooks for 8 pairs of boots and 8 pairs of gloves and room for 8 helmets or masks.

Do I need an exhaust air outlet or a ventilation system?

No. The cabinet dries in a closed loop and needs neither an exhaust air outlet nor an additional ventilation system. A 230 V Schuko outlet is enough, and the power cord is 1.8 m long.

Does the cabinet run in an unheated apparatus bay?

The ECODRY is ready to run from a room temperature of 7 °C and is designed for rooms with increased humidity. That makes the apparatus bay, locker room and utility room possible installation sites. Sollstar does not specify operation below 7 °C.

Where does the condensate go?

The water collects in the closed loop and is drained off, either into a condensate container or straight into a drain. We specify the version when you order, as it depends on the installation site. A drain means no emptying, a container means no installation work.

What does it cost to run?

Both sizes run on 230 V and 1.4 kW from a Schuko outlet. For the condensation technology, Sollstar states up to 60% less power consumption. Add one service a year; for the ECO generator, Sollstar states a service life of up to 15 years. Tell us your electricity rate and your duty roster, and we will calculate the running costs for you.

Do I get a written quote?

Yes. You get a written quote with net prices, line items and delivery time. Request it using the form below. Your email address is all it takes.

Can you purchase on account?

Yes, for municipalities, volunteer fire departments, career and plant fire departments and emergency services units, as an XRechnung on request. The prices in the shop are net prices excl. VAT.

How long does delivery take?

1 to 4 months, depending on the version and on how busy the manufacturer is. Delivery is by freight carrier. We give you the binding date in the quote before you order. Allow for the time it takes to get budget approval, and the timing will work out.

What warranty is there, and how often is it serviced?

2-year warranty. The cabinet is serviced once a year; for the ECO generator, Sollstar states a service life of up to 15 years. The housing is hot-dip galvanized industrial steel with powder coating.

What is included, and what is an add-on?

The cabinet comes with at least one hanging rail. The interior is modular, so you hang the fittings wherever you need them and rearrange them later: boot hooks from 260 to 500 mm, glove hooks from 260 to 700 mm, helmet hooks open or closed, special hangers for jacket and pants, shelves. All parts are also available in anthracite or stainless steel.

How long does a drying cycle take?

That depends on how wet the gear is, which is why no one can give a reliable blanket figure. That is exactly what the timer is for: 6 h, 24 h or a 7-day program that you fit to your duty roster. Tell us what typically comes back to your station, and we will go through the program choice together.

Where in the fire station does the cabinet go?

In the black (contaminated) zone, separate from personal clothing and clean gear. The separation of black and white (clean) zones is described in DGUV Information 205-035 and is the reason why a drying cabinet for PPE being reprocessed does not belong in the locker room. The room should be heatable and screened from view and weather; the ECODRY itself works from 7 °C.

Does the cabinet reactivate the water-repellent finish after washing?

Yes. The outer shell of turnout gear is often treated with fluorocarbon resins, and for this water-repellent finish to cross-link again after washing, it has to be dried above 70 °C. The ECODRY reaches that temperature. In everyday use, by contrast, you run it at a very low temperature, which protects membrane, reflective trim, Velcro and seams. One cabinet, two operating modes.

What if the care instructions for my gear say otherwise?

The care instructions from your clothing manufacturer. They state the washing temperature, drying method and re-proofing interval, and they take precedence over any general recommendation. Send them to us with your inquiry, and we will check them against Sollstar’s specifications.

Is ozone hygiene included?

Yes. The ozone generator is standard equipment on the ECODRY 650 and ECODRY 1300, together with air filters. It removes bacteria, mold, mites, fungi and odors and prevents their growth. If ozone is not an option for you, Sollstar offers two ozone-free alternatives: UV-C Puritech and plasma technology, both on request.

Background: what to look for when choosing a fire department drying cabinet

A fire department drying cabinet has one job: turnout gear, boots, gloves, helmets and masks have to hang dry on the hook again without being damaged. The ECODRY series from Sollstar does this with condensation drying in a closed loop at a very low operating temperature, with the gear hanging and no drum. This protects membrane, reflective trim, Velcro and seams, which are the first to suffer under heat.

Installing the cabinet requires no alterations: 230 V from a Schuko outlet, a 1.8 m power cord, no exhaust air and no additional ventilation system. It is ready to run from a room temperature of 7 °C and is designed for rooms with increased humidity, so it also suits the apparatus bay and locker room. The timer runs for 6 h, 24 h or as a 7-day program and can be aligned with the duty roster.

When choosing a model, what decides is the quantity that has to dry at the same time and the available width. The ECODRY SET 4 PREMIUM needs 650 mm and holds 4 pairs of boots, 4 pairs of gloves and 4 helmets. The ECODRY SET 8 PREMIUM needs 1,300 mm and doubles that to 8 pairs of boots, 8 pairs of gloves and 8 helmets or masks. Both are 2,110 mm high and 830 mm deep.

For procurement, the installation site matters as well as the quantity. A drying cabinet for PPE being reprocessed belongs in the black (contaminated) zone, separate from personal clothing, as provided for by the black-white separation in DGUV Information 205-035. It is also worth checking the care instructions for the turnout gear: the outer shell is often treated with fluorocarbon resins, and this water-repellent finish only cross-links again above 70 °C after washing. The ECODRY runs both operating modes, the very low temperature for everyday use and above 70 °C for the finish.

For life-cycle costs, three figures from Sollstar are relevant: one service a year, a service life of up to 15 years for the ECO generator and up to 60% less power consumption thanks to the condensation technology. The housing is hot-dip galvanized industrial steel with powder coating in RAL 7035/7038. The ozone generator with air filters is standard equipment on both sizes; if you want to work ozone-free, you can get UV-C or plasma on request.
