The TopClean D packs a punch. One cleaning cycle can clean up to 12 BA masks, 4 compressed air bottles or 4 full self-contained breathing apparatuses in just 4 to 16 minutes. The reversing wash system reliably removes combustion residues. It saves valuable time compared to manual cleaning and is gentler on the equipment. All that while consuming just 5.8 L water per rack! The TopClean D PPE decon machine offers enhanced protection for SCBA technicians: Reversing wash pipes without spray shadows are the best way to remove soot – despite its hydrophobic properties. MEIKO uses its patented heads for BA masks to prevent contamination from getting inside the masks during cleaning – a major plus over other commerical washing methods. Save water, energy and time – all while boosting safety in the SCBA workshop! The TopClean D lets you clean self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) sets without cylinders. The patented compressed air connection with distributor prevents moisture from getting into the regulator. The large universal rack is a real space-saver. It can hold 4 complete SCBA sets or 12 BA masks. A unique feature of this system is that all the BA masks are clamped onto plastic heads, which prevents contamination from getting inside the masks. Advantages: Fast and powerful – less time-consuming, less water consumption and gentler on materials than the manual process Safe – increased protection against pathogens, toxic fine dusts, and combustion residues, plus no skin contact with cleaning chemicals Large and flexible – 4 complete self-contained breathing apparatuses or 12 BA masks stretched on plastic heads that prevent contamination inside the mask Patented – the compressed air connection prevents moisture from entering regulators Economical – intelligent heat recovery reduces energy consumption and ensures a pleasant indoor climate

SOLBERG SPARTAN™ 1% Fluorine-Free Class A/B Foam Concentrate was designed to give firefighters a tactical advantage to achieve total fire suppression on structure, wildland, vehicle, gasoline, and dumpster fires. SOLBERG SPARTAN 1% provides: Efficiency: Rapid deployment and decisive knockdowns for quick suppression on 99% of fires. Excellence: The benchmark in Class A/B foam, delivering great performance and tactical efficiency to redefine fire suppression. Firefighter Safety: Tactical suppression power with a fluorine-free foam solution that contains no intentionally added PFAS, reducing firefighter exposure and injuries, limiting flashover, and keeping crews ahead of fast-changing conditions. Tactical Advantage: Rapid knockdowns, sustained control, and dominance in the toughest conditions. Conservation: Dramatically cuts water use and residual property damage. While water takes nearly four minutes to cool a fire from 1,000°F to 212°F adding foam does it in less than half the time. It also cuts water demand by 40%, making every drop count, extending tactical endurance, and reducing strain on critical resources—allowing crews to operate more efficiently. SOLBERG SPARTAN provides cooling and fire suppression power, shielding structures from heat and flame. When conditions are bad, SOLBERG SPARTAN delivers. It is compatible with conventional firefighting equipment, such as inline eductors, self-inducting nozzles, low-expansion non-air aspirating and air aspirating nozzles, monitors, medium-expansion foam devices, and compressed air foam systems (CAFS). With similar viscosity to Class A foam, SOLBERG SPARTAN is also compatible with onboard proportioning systems. This world-leading fluorine-free Class A/B foam contains no intentionally added PFAS. It’s the future of fire suppression. Arm your crew with the battle-ready foam built for peak performance and tactical advantage.
