What is Fuel Hose Reel?
Hose reel is a device specially designed to hold the hose on top of the reel for easy access. As a system that can easily put hoses, cables, flexible pipes and wires into use at any time, it plays an important role in various scenarios. However, after using the traditional hose reel, the hose is often placed on the outside, which undoubtedly poses a tripping hazard and a potential threat to personnel safety.
Retractable fuel hose reel, a fuel hose reel with automatic rewinding, significantly reduces the risk of tripping accidents. In addition, in fuel delivery operations, ordinary hose reels are difficult to meet demand and often require heavy equipment to cope with continuous winding and unwinding operations.
Benefits of retractable hose reel
1. Save the enterprise time cost: The retractable hose reel can effectively reduce the time loss in the operation process, saving valuable time resources for the enterprise.
2. Improve work efficiency: The device solves the problem that the traditional hose is easy to wrap, makes the work flow smoother, and then improves the overall work efficiency.
3. Reduce the cost of media leakage: Through optimized design, the retractable hose reel effectively reduces the possibility of oil and other media leakage, reducing the economic loss caused by leakage.
4. Ensure the safety of the working environment: help to create an orderly and safe workplace, reduce the probability of safety accidents, and ensure the personal safety of staff.
Application areas of fuel hose reels
1. Automobile refueling: widely used in all kinds of automobile gas stations, providing convenient fuel delivery solutions for automobile refueling.
2. Agricultural vehicle refueling: Meet the refueling needs of agricultural vehicles in agricultural production and ensure the smooth progress of agricultural production.
3. Ship refueling: Provide fuel replenishment service for ships in docking areas such as wharfs.
4. Aircraft and helicopter refueling: suitable for airports and other places to provide reliable support for aircraft and helicopter fuel supply.
5. Use with the fuel pump: in industrial production, gas stations and other scenarios, work with the fuel pump to achieve efficient fuel delivery.
6. Military vehicle refueling: Meet the refueling needs of military vehicles in military operations to ensure the smooth implementation of military tasks.
Factors to consider when selecting retractable fuel hose reels
1. Reel material: The site environment has a significant impact on the choice of reel material. For example, because of its excellent corrosion resistance, stainless steel coils are very suitable for use in areas close to water, such as wharves or pontoons; The powder coated coil is more suitable for use in indoor environments such as workshops due to its good wear resistance and protection.
2. Hose reel winding mode
1. Hand: Hand is the easiest way to wind up the hose. When in use, pull the hose to unfold from the reel by turning the crank; After use, turn the crank in reverse to withdraw the hose. This method is simple to operate, but the labor intensity is large, and the winding speed is relatively slow.
2. Spring driven: the spring driven hose reel is equipped with a spring device, which can automatically wind up the hose. When the hose is deployed, the tension of the spring gradually increases and energy is stored; When the job is done, the spring releases tension and automatically retracts the hose onto the reel. Spring-back fuel hose reels are the most popular on the market because of their ease of operation, easy removal of the hose and self-winding.
3. Electric: electric hose reel winding depends on the motor connected to the reel to achieve. This method has a variety of motors to choose from, the motor energy consumption is low, and the hose can be easily withdrawn. However, electric coils also have some disadvantages, such as higher purchase costs, stable power supply is required for operation, and on-site installation takes a long time.
3. Reel inlet size
Generally, the reel inlet size of the retractable diesel hose reel and the retractable gasoline hose reel are mainly 3/4 inch and 1 inch, while the lube hose reel inlet size is usually 3/8 inch. Generally, the larger the fuel inlet size, the faster the fuel delivery speed, but also need to consider the suitability of the equipment and cost factors.
4. Hose length
The choice of hose length depends on several factors. On the one hand, the longer the hose, the greater the flow rate limit, the speed of the fuel pump will slow down accordingly; On the other hand, if the hose is too long, part of the hose may be left on the reel during use, which will also limit the fuel delivery. At present, 10 or 15 meters of hose length is more common, can meet the needs of most scenarios; In fuel units, hose lengths can be up to 20 meters, and in special cases, longer hoses and larger reels to match them are available.
