As a leading provider of innovative cutting-edge solutions for the firefighting and rescue services industry, RESCUE Intellitech has made it their motto to help firefighters fight against cancer. With a strong focus on firefighter safety, their products aim to eliminate work-related illnesses and improve overall operational efficiency.
It all started with the development of the Solo Rescue® decon wacher. With several studies showing that firefighters run a significantly higher risk of developing cancer, RESCUE Intellitech decided to do something about it. With a goal of reducing exposure to carcinogens, focus was aimed at PAH compounds many of which are known carcinogens. Since the start, the Solo Rescue® decon wacher has been delivered to 32 countries all around the world.
The Solo Rescue offers an easy, quick and safe way to clean your contaminated PPE. The easy-to-use control panel lets you choose between a short 3-minute cycle or a longer 8-minute cycle. The spacious design of the Solo Rescue allows you to wash either two complete SCBAs, six stand-alone air bottles, eight face masks, three helmets, three pairs of boots or eight pairs of gloves per wash cycle. On top of that, you can wash small parts, such as regulators and pressure connectors. All of this is possible thanks to the clever design of the Solo Rescue basket system. The backbone of the system is the heavy-duty basket, which is used at all times. This basket can then be paired with several different accessories, giving you a versatile machine that fits many different needs.
The generously sized wash tank of the Solo Rescue is also a vital part of its strength. Together with an innovative rotating basket system, this provides a design that optimizes the water flow to reach even the most inaccessible parts of the equipment without compromising its function and quality. So, whether you are washing SCBAs, face masks, boots, gloves, or helmets, the Solo Rescue will do an excellent job reducing and extracting dangerous soot particles, chemicals and detergent residue from your equipment.
During the last couple of years RESCUE Intellitech has further extended their product line to include a smaller machine, the DeconWasher™ Pro S, and a filter system, the DeconFilter™ Pro S.
The DeconWasher™ Pro S offers an efficient cleaning solution in a more compact size. With a smaller body, single-phase power connection and an adjustable power range, it can be installed almost anywhere. It comes with a modern touchscreen display with an easy-to-use interface, a power-saving ECO-mode, customizable wash and rinse programs, integrated dosing and drain pumps, and Built-in intelligence with automatic water changes – all without compromising the decontamination result, making this the perfect decon washer for small to medium size fire stations.
The DeconFilter™ Pro S was developed to reduce the environmental impact of using RESCUE Intellitech’s machines. It is the perfect complement to the Solo Rescue® or DeconWasher™ Pro S. It offers an easy and safe way of extracting and reducing the amount of carcinogenic PAH substances in the Solo Rescue and DeconWasher™ Pro S wastewater. During tests at a fire department and firefighter training facility in southern Sweden, wastewater samples were taken from the Solo Rescue decon washer after several training exercises and rescue operations. They were then sent to an external third-party laboratory for testing. The result showed that the amount of tested PAH compounds had been reduced by up to 98%.
If you are looking for an efficient and safe way of cleaning and decontaminating PPE, such as SCBAs, face masks, boots, gloves and helmets, a decon washer from RESCUE Intellitech is what you need.
