The Station-Plymovent Downdraft Table

Cranbury, NJ –This year at FDIC International, not only did Plymovent exhibit its popular vehicle exhaust extraction systems, it also introduced a new product for firefighters. Imagine a safe and effective work space where you can pre-clean your soiled turnout gear of contaminants—on a Plymovent downdraft table. This product is a combination of a workbench and an extraction/filtration system. Attendees at FDIC International were able to visit the Plymovent booth and see first-hand how this downdraft table can help protect firefighters from exposure to dust and hazardous debris found on turnout gear and boots.
