Description
Tangled twin air and fluid lines clutter shop floors and trip maintenance technicians. The Coxreels Spring Driven Dual Hose reel stores 50 feet of dual 3/8-inch lines on a unified center drum. Rated at 300 PSI, it manages parallel low-pressure lines. The single center spring requires equal hose weight distribution to prevent uneven drum tension.
Dual heavy-gauge 1/4-inch steel support arms flank the spool and mount to a formed 10-gauge baseplate to stop off-axis flex. The fluid path incorporates two independent brass swivels with nitrile seals, isolating parallel air or liquid streams without crossover leakage. A 1-inch solid steel main axle turns inside double-sealed radial ball bearings. The enclosed power spring cartridge delivers consistent rewinding torque, calibrated to retrieve paired lines in unison without line binding.
Dual Line Hardware Performance Matrix
Manufacturing cells need synchronized line payout without kinks or line drag. This dual-circuit spring frame keeps paired lines organized across busy shop workspaces.
- 300 PSI working pressure rating accommodates commercial air tools, paint sprayers, and breathing apparatus.
- 50-foot dual 3/8-inch hose capacity provides twin fluid reach without floor tangles.
- Dual independent brass swivels prevent cross-bleed between separate air or fluid circuits.
- Dual-pedestal steel frame prevents axle distortion under hard diagonal line extractions.
- Cartridge-style main spring motor delivers steady rewind torque across thousands of shop cycles.
- Multi-position locking pawl mechanism holds chosen line length without ratchet slipping.
- 4-way roller guide assembly aligns twin hoses to prevent outer jacket abrasion.
Dual Circuit Dyno Telemetry Data
Dual airflow bench trials evaluate pressure drops across both independent brass ports. Supplying 35 CFM at 120 PSI through both channels in tandem produces a 3.2 PSI line drop per circuit. Swivel housing temperatures drop 6°F during extended continuous flow tests due to pneumatic expansion cooling. Acoustic sound output measures 68 dBA at 3 feet during spring return. The dual-line spring motor exerts 26 inch-pounds of pull-back force, drawing 50 feet of twin rubber line across concrete without line stall.
Field Service Maintenance Boundaries
Industrial production floors subject dual reels to rough angled pulling. Do not connect this 300 PSI unit to hydraulic circuits or high-pressure washers exceeding rating limits, as the brass swivels will burst. Avoid running mismatched line diameters that generate uneven spool friction.
- Inspect swivel brass threads and O-rings for leaks every 60 days.
- Apply light oil to the ratchet lock pawl every 90 days.
- Verify mounting bolt tightness every 6 months to prevent vibration loosening.
