Anatomy of a Reel

Types of Reels

A reel is a device that winds up and stores hose or cable. In a broad sense, there are 3 kinds of reels:

  • Live Hose Reel: Stores hose and allows fluid to pass through hose and reel without taking all of the hose off the reel first. This is accomplished through the use of a swivel joint (see Figure A).
  • Live Cable Reel: Stores cable and allows current to pass through the cable without taking all of the cable off the reel first. This is accomplished through the use of a collector ring assembly
    (see Figure B).
  • Storage Reel: Stores either hose or cable, but does NOT allow current or fluid to flow while the hose or cable is still on the reel. Instead, everything must be taken off the spool of the reel. Then a connection is made to the hose or cable. (Because these reels only store the hose or cable, they have fewer components and tend to be less expensive.)
There are also combination reels available that can handle both fluids and electrical cable on the same reel. Reels can be rewound by a variety of methods: crank, spring-power, or motor (either electric, air, or hydraulic).

 

 

 

 

General Specifications of Hannay Hose Reels

Figure A

Construction: Frames, discs, and drum are fabricated of heavy gauge steel. Bearings are self-aligning. Malleable iron and steel are used for hose reel hub assembly, outlet riser, and swivel joints. Stainless steel, aluminum, bronze, and other alloys, and special swivel joint packing, can be supplied to meet special requirements.

Finish: Most reels are finished with e-coating or oven-cured enamel. Finishes other than standard may be specified at extra cost.

Temperatures & Pressures: Standard reel construction will handle most liquids or gases at temperatures ranging from -20 degrees to +400 degrees F (-29 degrees to +204 degrees C). Operating pressures available up to 10,000 psi (695 BAR) depending on the specific reel series. These operating temperatures and pressures are shown on descriptive pages in each product catalog.

Shipping: Reels are shipped completely assembled, ready to install. Installation instructions are supplied with each reel.

Collector Ring Assembly: Reels to handle live electric cable are normally equipped with a 3-conductor collector ring assembly. Assemblies with additional conductors and for higher amperage are available at extra cost on most models. Be sure to specify your application.

Standard: 45A 600V standard. Up to 300A available at additional cost.

Finish: Most reels are finished with e-coating or oven-cured enamel. Finishes other than standard may be specified at extra cost.
