Drying cabinets in educational environments

Wet outerwear, gloves, and shoes are part of everyday life in early childhood educational settings. With the help of drying cabinets, long drying times, unnecessary supervision, and the risk of garments losing their protective properties can be avoided—but the benefits go far beyond that.

Reduced spread of illness and improved hygiene

Drying at high temperatures reduces the activity of viruses and bacteria on clothing and equipment. This contributes to a cleaner environment and lowers the risk of infections spreading among children and staff.

Energy-efficient drying

NIMO’s drying cabinets are equipped with advanced sensor technology that adjusts drying time based on moisture levels, minimizing energy consumption. Optimized air circulation ensures even and gentle drying.

Preserves garment functionality

Rainwear and overalls made from membrane materials require gentle drying. Conventional drying methods can leave clothing partially damp and diminish their protective qualities. Drying in a cabinet helps reactivate impregnation in these materials, preserving their function for longer.

Adaptable and resource-efficient solution

With flexible interiors that can be adjusted for different types of garments and footwear, the drying cabinets offer an efficient solution for educational environments. The user-friendly programs make it easy for staff to manage the drying process, while the energy-efficient operation helps reduce running costs and promotes sustainable resource use.
