Testimonial

Townsville Concrete Cleaning posted the video below showing our Flat Winder™ level wind and remote control hose reel systems effectively and efficiently cleaning concrete in Townsville, Australia. Designed for single user operations, Reel tech’s remote controlled level wind series was adopted by one of North Queensland’s largest government contracting cleaners, Townsville Concrete Cleaning. Greg Knibb’s company operates overnight services to local and government municipalities, so time efficiency and reliability are critical. Greg says:

“The team at Reel Tech make a great product. Labour saving and increased productivity is what I was chasing by investing in the remotely operated electric reel, and that is exactly what I got. Six months on, and I could not be happier.”

Description

Efficient, jam-free layering of the hose during storage

Typically to rewind hose onto a hose reel, a person is required to help guide the hose back onto the reel to ensure a neat wrap is achieved. The neat wrap helps ensure that the maximum amount of hose can be stored. This means that when long lengths of hose are to be stored on the hose reel, at least two operators are required to rewind the hose back onto the hose reel. As many operations are looking at minimising personnel in the tasks, removing one of the tasks was looked at.

Enter, the Flat-Winder™, a device engineered to guide the hose neatly backed onto the spool of the reel; the system ensures that the maximum hose length capacity can be stored in the most space-saving fashion without any human error or intervention.
