Wintersteiger AG Supplies Drying Panels For Volunteer Fire Department In Ried, Austria

For a volunteer fire department in Ried, leaving gloves, shoes, and boots to air dry is now a thing of the past, thanks to the drying panels from Wintersteiger AG, which have been in use since the beginning of November 2020.

Regional Fire Inspector and Fire Chief, Josef Leherbauer is delighted with the successful solution. He said, “To save energy, we chose one small and one large dryer that can be used as required. Both are equipped with different nozzles for gloves and boots. As the drying system has been perfectly tailored to our requirements, the configurability of the dryer is a considerable advantage for the volunteer fire department in Ried.”

“Leather boots have to be dried carefully. Even if water has permeated to the inside of the boots, they are dry in 4 to 6 hours,” said Josef Leherbauer, adding “Another advantage is the ozone lamp, which kills germs and neutralizes odors. There is already a noticeable difference compared to before.” The drying panels also have a programmable 24-hour timer clock.

Thanks to the new drying panels, equipment belonging to the volunteer fire department in Ried is dried efficiently, carefully, and hygienically, and is ready for use again in just a few hours.
