ADDITIONAL GLADIATOR 911 DETAILS 

Washing your gear after a fire is one of the most important things you can do to minimize toxin exposure. The Gladiator 911 PPE Washer makes the task simple, thorough, and efficient.

Arnold Machine engineers worked closely with firefighting gear manufacturers while designing the Gladiator 911. That collaboration enabled us to develop a bunker gear washer that thoroughly cleans without degrading the material integrity and longevity.

We engineered the Gladiator to optimally clean turnout gear and other safety equipment. However, it’s not a washing machine and cannot clean regular clothing or fabrics (e.g., suits/jackets/pants).

The spacious interior holds a complete set of protective gear for one firefighter. Or you can fill it with different combinations and pairs of boots, helmets, SCBA tanks, and face masks to customize each wash.

How it Works

The Gladiator 911 makes it easy to load and unload firefighting gear. Hooks and fixtures securely hold PPE, allowing for a safe and efficient cleaning process. The intuitive operation saves time for your busy fire department crew.

The system provides 45 gallons of cleaning solution per minute at 40 psi. This high-pressure flow thoroughly sprays gear from all angles as the internal wash table rotates 360 degrees.

After washing, a rinse cycle lightly sprays gear to remove any remaining residue from the contaminated equipment. The wash table continues turning during rinsing. Once completed, the washer automatically meters the proper amount of solution back into the tank.

Maintenance

There’s minimal maintenance and cleaning required. You’ll only need to replace the bag filter as needed. After draining the tank, spray off and clean the components before refilling.

Made in the U.S.A

Arnold Machine engineers and manufactures our turnout gear washers at our Tiffin, Ohio, facility. All major parts (heater, pump, and drive) are USA-made. We offer a lifetime guarantee on the washer shell and a two-year warranty on all major components.

GLADIATOR 911 TECHNICAL INFORMATION 

Each Gladiator 911 PPE Washer has a simple HMI (human-machine interface) screen. All the operator needs to do is press the cycle start button on the HMI screen. The wash program cycle will begin and last until complete. They can then remove the cleaned PPE gear. 

There are (3) user-adjustable HMI timers that the operator can modify to customize each wash:

• Cycle time
• Chemical addition time
• Freshwater rinse time

The stainless steel filter housing has a stainless steel bag filter, making changing it easy and affordable. This innovative design also allows departments to recycle water and minimize usage.

Other Gladiator 911 SCBA Washer technical specs include:

• Wastewater pump-out
• Automatic chemical addition pump
• Debris Basket catches large debris and prevents it from entering back into the wash cycle. This design helps to protect the pump head while increasing the filter lifecycle.
