Team Glove/Skate Dryer

[dw91 0]

Is there anywhere to buy a decent sized glove dryer like the pro teams have? Ive seen these in pro rinks all over but ive never seen one for sale anywhere. If anyone has any experience making a glove/skate dryer for a whole team, please give me some ideas/tips, thanks.

Would either of these be large enough:

Try some type of sporting goods store like Bass Pro Shops or Cabelas. They sell all kinds of boots/gloves/waders drying machines.

MaxxDry XL at Cabelas

I have this one that I use for my hunting boots and gloves. It's got a timer on it and you can turn off the heat so it just blows room temperature air into the gloves/skates.

Blackstone, Blademaster make one. I'm partial to the blackstone.

Ill have to take pictures of my 2 hairdryer, glove and skate dryer...cost me about $50, but man is it ugly and not as small as it could be.

Does anyone smell something burning?

Does anyone smell something burning?

no, not yet lol, but I didnt think of PVC hot melt. If anyone has any pics of homeade ones that have worked well for them, as far as airflow, i would be interested. Right now im drawing it up to figure out what would be the best configuration for 10-12 ports as far as compactness and equal drying. Good thing i have some formal training as an engineer

Some good info here, I was thinking of replacing a basement landing wire rack with plastic pipe hooked to a blower so will steal some of these ideas. Is there any advantage to white pvc pipe and glue instead of using black abs....I did a cottage washroom with black pipe and was going to use that. Is the pvc more rigid? I have the Shock Doctor ionizer blower that goes with sons bag as an air source.

If someone does build one to DEFIANT'S specs (nicely done btw...) It is, of course, obligatory that you post pics.

Hey dw91

J-tek manufacturing in Guelph makes one of the best portable skate / glove dryers available. Check out their website www.jtekmanufacturing.com

MegaBlast dryers are lighter, more compact and much more efficient as they introduce air deep into the skate cavity. where it drys from the inside outwards, unlike other units that simply try to push air into a dead end space.

MegaBlast dryers are used in the NHL, AHL, ECHL, IIHf, NCAA, CIS etc

Check out the website.
