ATEX Hose Reels for Hazardous Environments and Critical Fluid Transfer
ATEX-certified hose reels are specifically engineered for use in hazardous areas where explosive gases or dusts may be present, such as oil terminals, chemical processing plants, refineries, and aviation fueling stations. Built to comply with ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU, these reels are vital for safe operations in Zone 1/2 (gas) and Zone 21/22 (dust) classified environments.
Key Features:
- Explosion-proof construction, compliant with ATEX or IECEx standards
- Made from stainless steel, aluminum, brass, or anti-static composites
- Non-sparking components, sealed bearings, and conductive hose materials
- Integrated grounding systems for static discharge prevention
- Available in spring-rewind, manual crank, or motor-driven (pneumatic/electric) versions
Application-Specific Variants
Fuel Delivery Hose Reels
Designed for diesel, gasoline, kerosene, biodiesel, and other flammable fuels:
- Fuel-rated swivels and seals to prevent leakage
- Hose sizes from ¾" to 2", lengths up to 50 meters or more
- Available in portable or fixed mount configurations
Aviation Hose Reels
Engineered for ground fueling operations with Jet A, Jet A-1, Avgas, etc.:
- Materials and seals resistant to aviation fuels and temperature extremes
- ATEX/IECEx certified, with static bonding reels and safety shutoff features
- ATEX/IECEx certified, with static bonding reels and safety shutoff features
Chemical Transfer Hose Reels
For aggressive or hazardous chemicals:
- PTFE-lined or EPDM/nitrile hoses compatible with various fluids
- Corrosion-resistant materials to handle harsh chemicals safely
Stainless Steel ATEX Hose Reels
- Full stainless steel construction (typically AISI 304/316)
- Ideal for marine, chemical, and food-grade applications
- Resistant to corrosion, high humidity, and aggressive cleaning
Motorized ATEX Hose Reels
- Designed for long hoses, frequent use, or heavy-duty industrial tasks
- Explosion-proof electric or pneumatic motors, 24 V or 230 V options
- Common in offshore platforms, tanker terminals, and automated systems
Double Spring Rewind Models
- Dual stainless-steel springs for enhanced rewind strength and longevity
- Preferred in continuous-use environments with high hose load
Static Discharging Grounding Reels
- Retractable cables with ATEX-rated clamps
- Explosion-proof electric or pneumatic motors, 24 V or 230 V options
- Commonly used alongside fuel or chemical transfer systems
Choosing the right ATEX hose reel depends on:
Selection Considerations
- Hazardous zone classification
- Media type (fuel, chemical, air, water, etc.)
- Hose size and pressure rating
- Rewind method (manual, spring, motorized)
- Mounting location (floor, wall, vehicle)
