Reel-Tech Safe-R-Reel Rewind Speed Control System

Spring rewind hose reels are commonly used in industry for hose storage. In some hose handling applications, excessive spring rewind speed can result from misuse and can result in significant safety issues. Excessive rewind speed can cause rapidly moving hose to strike users or objects, resulting in unnecessary injury or damage. The Safe-R-Reel Rewind Speed Control System from Reel-Tech reduces the rewind speed of hose reels in order to reduce the risks of injury, equipment damage, downtime and hose wear associated with excessive rewind speed.

The system is specifically designed to be added to most common brands of spring rewind reels and can be added to an existing reel without major irreversible modifications. It is simple to install. Depending on the reel capacity, the system simply bolts on to the hose reel canister and it can be tuned to achieve 30-50% speed reduction compared to a standard spring rewind reel. This can also be upgraded to vary the rewind speed.

The system doesn’t rely on hydraulic clutching or other dependent devices requiring regular service, reducing downtime, and contains no visible moving parts.

The system is suitable for applications in mining, food and beverage, service vehicles industries and in workshops.
