UNIMAC FIRE GEAR WASHER AND DRYER FAQS

Are There Grant Opportunities for Fire Station Laundry Equipment?

Yes—grant support resources may be available. UniMac has partnered with grant consultants to offer no-cost, customized help for projects in the PPE washer-extractor/dryer category, including grant research, grant alert notices and application feedback. Funding is not guaranteed, but the team can help strengthen your application.

Do You Offer Laundry Equipment Designed Specifically for Firefighters and NFPA 1851 Compliance?

Yes. UniMac offers specialized, NFPA 1850-compliant laundry equipment designed for firefighter PPE care, including washer-extractors and PPE drying cabinets.

Features can include OPTispray rinsing, tailored cycles intended to help protect gear and controls designed for straightforward operation. Drying cabinets use heated air circulation (rather than high heat) and dual-sided airflow to help dry bulky gear, including inner liners, while ventilation helps remove residual vapors.

What Is OPTispray and How Can It Help with Firefighter Laundry?

OPTispray is a spray-rinse approach designed to pull wash chemistry through the load and down the drain. Think of it like a shower rinse instead of a bath rinse. In settings where removing chemicals and residue matters, a spray rinse can play a role in reducing remaining chemicals and dirt—especially for firefighter PPE care.

Laundry Isn’t a Firefighter’s “Job.” How Does UniMac Help?

UniLinc Touch controls are designed to reduce friction in day-to-day laundry: Clear cycle navigation, easy-to-read timers and on-screen alerts in real words with no error codes. With features like delayed start, multilingual options (34 languages) and shared control logic across washer-extractors and bunker gear dryers, you can train crews and keep the laundry room moving—even when staffing changes or schedules get busy.

How Do UniMac Solutions Support NFPA 1850 Record-Keeping and Compliance?

NFPA 1850 calls for clear processes and documentation. UniMac supports this with equipment designed around PPE cycles and tools like FireLinc, which can be used to log by barcode scan and store it in the cloud. And reporting and audit prep features can support documentation as guidance evolves.
