SCBA and Fireground Equipment Cleaning

The Contamination Problem

What we remove in fire & emergency services

Soot & PAH residues

Combustion carcinogens bonded into seams, threads and textured surfaces.

Heavy-metal particulates

Fireground metals lodged in regulator and valve hardware.

Abrasive silica & ash

Ground into moving parts, accelerating wear.

Hydrocarbon films

Fuels and oils from vehicle and industrial incidents.

Salt & corrosive residues

From coastal operations and chemical incidents.

The endpoint is a defined, repeatable process condition — cycle time, chemistry, concentration, frequency and temperature are recorded parameters, not operator judgement.

Components We Clean

Real parts, real materials

Breathing apparatus

SCBA regulators, valves, harness hardware and facepieces — decontaminated without degrading elastomers.

RegulatorsValvesFacepieces

Rescue hardware

Anchoring connectors, hydraulic tool components and fittings — grit out of load-bearing hardware.

ConnectorsTool partsFittings

Station & appliance

Pump components, fittings and small hardware on appliance maintenance rotation.

Why Ultrasonics — And Why These Machines

Cavitation cleans geometry it cannot see

Bubble collapse at the liquid–metal boundary lifts contamination from passages, galleries and cavities without anything touching the surface. Nothing abrades, nothing embeds, no metal is removed.

GeneratorResonance held all shift

The VarioSonic G4 tracks the transducer array as temperature and load shift — conversion efficiency up to 95%.

Sound fieldSweep modulation

Eliminates standing-wave hot and cold zones across a loaded basket.

Process controlLogged, recipe-driven cycles

Stored recipes and logged cycles — audit evidence produced as a by-product of running.

Bath conditionFiltration & oil separation

Multi-stage filtration and weir oil capture hold results steady as the bath loads.

SupportOver-the-air diagnostics

Most faults identified — many resolved — without a site visit.

ConstructionBuilt to work hard

Heavy 316 stainless tanks, tested before despatch, every wearing part replaceable.

Equipment Fit

The machine follows the process

From manually loaded single-tank units to automated lines — and engineered systems where the catalogue ends.

Chemistry

Matched to the soil and the substrate

Decontamination chemistry must remove PAHs without attacking polycarbonate lenses and silicone seals — pH-controlled formulations proven on the actual PPE in trial, not assumed.

FAQ

What fire engineers ask us

Is it safe on facepiece lenses and seals?

With pH-controlled chemistry and correct parameters, yes — compatibility is proven on sacrificial units in the trial.

Does it actually remove PAHs?

Cavitation lifts particulate-bound residues from seams brushing cannot reach; wipe-sample testing before and after quantifies it.

Can cycles be documented for WHS?

Logged cycles per basket give your cancer-mitigation program auditable evidence.

How fast is a mask cycle?

Minutes, not hours — a brigade's set turnaround fits inside a shift.
