It is necessary to determine relevant operating conditions (medium, working pressure, working temperature), the technical parameters of a hose (not every hose, due to its design, is suitable for winding on a reel), the method of reel installation and the type of drive.
Technically, it is possible to use a complete hose reel set in potentially explosive areas. The hose reel must be ATEX-certified and the hose wound on the reel must be approved for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. In addition, the elements used to install the hose on the reel must be made of non-sparking parts. [...]
Hose reels can be used for steam, but only together with hoses specifically designed for steam. To mount the hose on the reel, always use fittings intended for steam, assembled with special safety clamps. The clamps should be checked for tightness with each use, as the hose material may deform when exposed to steam for [...]
Spring, hand crank and motor drives: electric, hydraulic and pneumatic.
