MEIKO TopClean H auf der A+A – Effizienz für Feuerwehr und Industrie

With TopClean H, MEIKO presents a further development in the cleaning and disinfection of respiratory masks. The machine was specially developed for respiratory protection workshops to combine hygiene, ergonomics, and time savings. At the A+A trade fair, the company presented the innovation to industry professionals for the first time – and showed how automated cleaning will set standards in the future.

Fast, safe, and hygienic cleaning of respiratory masks

Respiratory masks must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected after each use. Residues, soot particles, or pollutants pose a risk if they are not completely removed. The TopClean H handles this process automatically – precisely, standardized, and reproducibly. Time is a crucial factor, especially for fire departments with many masks in circulation. Running times of between four and sixteen minutes, depending on the degree of soiling, ensure short cycles and predictable processes.

TopClean H: greater capacity per cycle and ergonomic operation

A key advance of the TopClean H is its capacity: more masks can be cleaned at the same time without compromising on quality. This optimizes both working time and energy consumption. MEIKO also attaches great importance to ergonomics. The mask baskets are fed in via work tables, so there is no need to lift heavy loads or bend down – a significant relief for workshop staff.

Process reliability and parallel working

In many respiratory protection workshops, cleaning has traditionally been done by hand – a process that depended on the experience and daily form of the person doing it. With the TopClean H, this step is standardized. The cleaning process runs according to fixed parameters, enabling consistent results and traceable hygiene. The system is part of a modular system that separates individual work steps, thus speeding up the process. Each machine performs a defined function – from washing to drying. This allows different processes to run in parallel: while one cycle is running, masks are already being prepared or checked. The result is a clearly structured, efficient process that makes everyday life in the respiratory protection workshop noticeably easier.

Fire departments, plant fire departments, and industry are the target groups

The TopClean H is primarily aimed at fire departments and respiratory protection workshops, where large quantities of masks are processed every day. However, industrial companies are also increasingly recognizing the need: in metal processing, battery technology, and chemical production, blower helmets are used that have similar requirements in terms of hygiene and material protection.

Time-optimized processes thanks to modular machine structure

Unlike all-in-one systems, MEIKO relies on specialized machine types for the individual work steps. This enables shorter running times and parallel processes, similar to a production line. While cleaning is in progress, other masks can already be dried or inspected. This keeps the workshop running smoothly. This approach offers a noticeable advantage, especially for respiratory protection workshops with high throughput. Downtimes are reduced, staff can take on other tasks in parallel, and the entire process remains plannable. The result is not a rigid system, but a dynamic structure that adapts to actual needs – from small fire stations to the central fire departments of large companies.

MEIKO sets new standards in respiratory protection care

With TopClean H, MEIKO is launching a machine that combines efficiency, hygiene, and ergonomics in one system. It speeds up the reprocessing of respiratory protection masks, standardizes processes, and reduces physical strain on employees. Whether in fire departments, plant fire departments, or industry—wherever respiratory protection is part of everyday life, the new machine offers significant progress in safety and work organization.
