Meiko to show SCBA and PPE systems
Meiko will present new cleaning and disinfection systems for self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and other personal protective equipment at Interschutz from 1 to 6 June 2026.
The company’s presence will span three exhibition areas, including stand L21 in hall 14, the open-air area between halls 11 and 12 and the outdoor venue for the FireFit European Championships between halls 7 and 9.
Stand L21 in hall 14 will include a new prototype machine for cleaning respiratory protective equipment in a footprint of less than one square metre.
The machine is intended for smaller fire services with lower throughput.
Meiko will also present new features for its TopClean range.
Its TopClean D PPE decontamination machine uses a reversing wash system to remove combustion residue from SCBA sets, and an optional brush has been added for a more thorough clean.
A prototype wastewater filter system will also be shown, designed to capture contaminants before they reach the sewerage network.
The company’s display will also show the workflow from the dirty side to the clean side of an SCBA workshop through planning examples for fire service and industrial settings.
Meiko to demonstrate mobile workshop
Meiko stated that its open-air display between halls 11 and 12 will feature a mobile SCBA workshop developed with vehicle manufacturer Mosolf.
The trailer is designed for extended incidents such as wildfires.
It is divided into a dirty side and a clean side to reduce cross-contamination.
The unit includes facilities for cleaning, disinfection, drying and testing of respiratory protective equipment.
Live demonstrations will allow visitors to watch the process and take part in individual stages.
Meiko equipment to support FireFit operations
Meiko said a transport vehicle fitted with its equipment will be used to service SCBA sets supplied to competitors at the FireFit European Championships during the fair.
The championships will take place at Interschutz, with firefighters from around the world competing in individual and team events across the event.
FireFit Europe uses the vehicle as a plug-and-play mobile SCBA workshop for around ten events each year in several countries.
The unit is designed for rapid deployment and allows equipment to be cleaned in a sheltered environment in different weather conditions.
A screen near the competition area will show real-time footage of PPE being cleaned and prepared inside the vehicle.
Visitors will also be able to enter the vehicle in small groups during breaks between events and inspect the equipment.
Appointments for meetings at the event can be booked in advance through Meiko’s Interschutz page.
