Hose reels: what they are and how to choose the right one
Exhaust extraction is essential in workshops to ensure a healthy and productive working environment.
There are several elements that contribute to improving a company's efficiency. It is not enough to have innovative and high-performance machinery, technology, and workshop fumes extraction system: even the seemingly less important accessories can make a difference!
That is why proper attention must be paid also to the choice of the most suitable hose reels for the company's needs, especially based on the type of vehicle to be serviced and the characteristics of the working areas. In the WORKY hose reels range there are models designed for every need, designed for exhaust extraction from passenger cars, but also motorcycles, heavy vehicles, and special vehicles.
Below, we look at the types of hose reels available.
Spring driven hose reels
The GMR+ series spring-loaded mechanical hose reels are equipped with:
- crush-proof hose resistant up to 200°C
- safety hose clamps
- hose clamps for connecting the hose nozzle (nozzle to be chosen from the WORKY range)
Spring driven hose reel with integrated fan
Compared to the previous model, the GMRF+ series of spring driven hose reels have an integrated fan to suck in the gases and expel them to the outside. Among the various accessories available, the fan can be completed with the GMC (automatic start-up kit).
Motor driven hose reels
Motor driven hose reels are equipped with a push-button (GER+ hose reels series) or remote control (GERT+ hose reels series) for automatic hose rewinding.
These hose reels are produced in various models and can accommodate up to 15 m in length and up to 200 Ø flexible hose.
Motor driven hose reel with integrated fan
Motor driven hose reels with integrated fan have the same features as the model just described but are already completed with the fan.
The hose reel can be completed with the GEMC accessory (kit for the automatic start/stop of the fan).
Spring driven hose reel with integrated high-pressure fan
Spring driven hose reels with high-pressure fan - GMRFHP+ series - are equipped with:
- crush-proof flexible hose resistant to up to 200°C
- safety hose clamps
- hose clamps to connect the nozzle (nozzle to be chosen from the various models in the WORKY range)
The fan combined to these reels is high pressure and designed to effectively extract and expel gases during heavier-than-usual applications or in systems with particularly articulated expulsion chimneys.
As with previous models, the fan can be equipped with the GMC automatic start kit
