There are growing concerns in society regarding exposure to harmful vehicle exhaust pollution - carbon monoxide poisoning, increased blood-lead levels, carcinogenic fumes - the risks are well known.
In response to these disturbing issues, Ozone engineers have developed a range of user friendly products that deliver unmatched performance. At-source capture of vehicle exhaust fumes is the most economical and efficient way of reducing pollution in the workshop.
Ozone Hose Reels are typically mounted above the workplace or vehicle bay. The highly flexible hose winds down to the vehicle and when not in use is reeled back out of harms way. This is practical and safer than having hose lying on the workshop floor. The hose is connected to a vehicle exhaust pipe by a specially designed Nozzle.
Unlike traditional under floor extraction systems, Hose Reels can be easily and economically added to existing workshops. They are suitable for both standard vehicle exhaust pipes and vertical exhaust stacks.
There are three Hose Reel models to choose from: electric, remote control and manual. Each is supplied with optional hose diameters and with various hose lengths.
The world class electric and remote control models have a motorised drum which automatically winds the hose up or down. Fully retractable motorised reels, with their longer hose capacities, are the professional choice for workshops with high roofs or where travelling cranes are used. These latest generation, electronically controlled reels combine authentic performance with safety and reliability.
Designed as an integral part of the Ozone Pollution Technology range, Hose Reel systems can be simply and economically designed using Ozone Pollution Extractors, Fixed or Hinged Beams and Roof Discharge Kits.
Ozone Hose Reels are not limited to just vehicle exhaust extraction. They can be used for other pollutants such as welding fume by attaching either a magnetic or suction nozzle. These systems are the first choice where factory layout or work practices require the extraction system to remain off the floor and be fully retractable.
Install an Ozone Hose Reel in your workshop and experience the working environment of the future.
Electric Hose Reels Model RE
The reel also has a unique "safety reverse" feature. If, during
rewind, the reel senses a force or weight on the hose it
automatically stops and reverses direction. This reduces
damage should a reel be inadvertently rewound when the hose
is still connected to a vehicle.
An Ozone Pollution Extractor can be directly connected to the
Reel. Alternatively, the Reel can be connected to a central
Duct System by the Spigot supplied. The Hose Reel Bracket
easily mounts to ceilings, walls or pillars. A Hose Reel mounted
on an Ozone Hinged Beam is a good solution when the Reel
needs to serve multiple workstations.
Standard hose for vehicle exhaust is of Heavy Duty
construction and offers protection from corrosive fumes or
gases. It is extremely flexible and lightweight and is easy to
manoeuvre into place. For dynamometer or diesel applications
Thermal Duty hose is also available. There are three hose
diameters: 100 mm, 150 mm and 200 mm. See the Applications
section for advice on hose selection.
The Electric Hose Reel has a motorised drum which automatically winds the hose up or down. Unlike conventional reels, the hose can be stopped at any position.
Reels come standard with 5 metres of flexible hose, with optional hose extensions for high roof mounts or when one reel must service a number of work areas. They can be used with up to 15 metres of hose.
The Reels have electronically controlled upper and lower stops to restrict the hose travel. Additional mechanical stops provide a safety back-up system.
The Electric Reel comes complete with a wall mounted switch and a long length of electric cable. The switch allows all movement: up, down and reverse.
Remote Control Hose Reels Model RR
Exhaust Pipe Nozzles Model NE
The Remote Control model combines all the leading features of the Electric Reels with the convenience of remote control.
The pocket sized transmitter has an industrial strength case. Working on radio frequencies, the transmitter does not need line of sight with the receiver mounted on the Reel. The transmitter has an effective range of at least 20 metres.
Each Reel and transmitter is pre-coded to a specific frequency.
The cost saving on electric fittings can make the Remote Control Hose Reel an effective alternative compared with conventional Electric models. The Remote Control Model is the most convenient and user friendly of Hose Reels.
The exhaust pipe Nozzle has a unique spark arrestor to help protect the hose from spark damage. The areas in direct contact with the vehicle exhaust pipe are rubber coated to prevent scratching. The Nozzle attaches to the vehicle via a spring loaded flap and adjustable clamp and is suitable for most vertical and horizontal exhaust pipes. The testing port allows a diagnostic probe to be inserted into the exhaust pipe even with the extraction system connected.
The robust design is suitable for industrial workshops, yet the good looks make it equally at home in a luxury car workshop.
Manual Hose Reels Model RM
This model is spring loaded and operated manually. Simply
pull out the required length of hose and it will lock in position.
To release the locking mechanism pull out the hose again and
it will be automatically reeled back.
An adjustable limit stop allows the operator to determine how
much hose re-winds onto the drum when not in use. The reel
comes standard with 5 metres of vehicle exhaust hose, with the
option of extending this to 10 metres. Two hose diameters are
available to suit various applications.
An Ozone Pollution Extractor can be directly connected to the
reel. Alternatively, the reel can be connected to a central duct
system via the spigot supplied. The lightweight yet robust
design will ensure years of trouble free service.
Applications
Ozone products are shown in blue. All necessary connections are included with the products so they
simply bolt together. The "words" in each box fully describe the set of Ozone products to be ordered
for a complete system. See Accessories section for codes.
(Curves show fan static & fan total pressure gains for right angle flow without guards
& with 200mm Ø ducted inlet & ducted outlet, BS or AMCA type D test. Other
configurations yield higher or lower curves).
(Bottom dark curve in each range is for straight hanging hose & top light curve in range
is for 2 coils around drum. Curves show total system pressure loss for Electric Reel
including transition loss at outlet to 200mm Ø spigot. Entry & Exhaust Pipe Nozzle losses
are excluded and are typically overcome by positive pressure from tailpipe which
protrudes into nozzle. Curves are for Heavy Duty Hose).
* Increase hose diameter by 50mm (100 to 150, 150 to 200) if pressure loss high due to long hose
lengths or usage whilst hose coiled on drum, or if entrained air low due to large tailpipe.
