Efficient drying of work gloves

Drying solution for demanding maritime working conditions

Norwegian Fish Transport AS, part of the Frøygruppen, operates in the wellboat segment where hygiene, efficiency, and operational reliability on board are crucial. In a maritime environment with constant dampness and demanding working conditions, long fishing gloves and work gloves are used for a large part of the working day. These need to be dried quickly and hygienically to ensure comfort, safety and good health and safety.

The challenge

The working environment on board wellboats presents particular challenges:

Long gloves and work gloves did not dry well in existing solutions
Moisture and odour built up over time
Hygiene requirements demanded better internal cleaning
The equipment had to be ready for use quickly between work shifts.
Need for a solution that could both effectively dry gloves and eliminate odours and bacteria in an environment with constant dampness and salt exposure

A solution was needed that could both dry gloves effectively and eliminate odours and bacteria in an environment with constant moisture and salt exposure.

The solution

We supplied glove dryers Glove 10 and Glove 4, specially adapted for maritime operations, to Norwegian Fish Transport AS / Frøygruppen AS. The GT Glove 10 Power stands out particularly for its high capacity and fast drying ability. With recirculating hot air and Gladek O₃ Hygienic Solution, gloves are dried both quickly and hygienically. Ozone purification removes odours and bacteria from the inside, ensuring that gloves can be reused odourless and comfortably in a short space of time.

Efficient and fast drying of long fishing gloves and work gloves
Recirculating air drying offers shorter drying times and lower energy consumption
Gladek O₃ Hygienic Solution eliminates odours and bacteria indoors
The gloves are ready for use again after a short time – odourless and dry
Built for continuous operation and humid marine conditions

The result

Following installation, the crew has achieved significantly improved hygiene and comfort. The gloves now dry evenly and quickly, and the ozone treatment prevents odour formation and bacterial growth. This leads to a more efficient working day – gloves are dry and ready between shifts, even in an environment characterised by seawater, dampness, and continuous use.

Quick drying routines and gloves ready for use throughout the day
Reduced odour, moisture, and bacterial growth
Increased comfort and well-being for the crew
Stable and reliable solution adapted for the maritime environment

Conclusion

With the introduction of the GT Glove 10 Power and Glove 4, Norwegian Fish Transport AS has found a solution that provides fast drying times, improved hygiene, and significantly reduced odour in work gloves. The system ensures that gloves are always ready for use – which increases efficiency on board and improves both the working environment and operational predictability in an industry that never stands still.
