Food and Beverage Processing Reels
What is a Food Hose Reel?
A food and beverage processing reel is an industrial device designed to neatly store food-grade hoses by winding them onto a reel. These reels are manufactured according to specific EU standards for food applications, allowing the hose on the reel to be mobile while the supply hose remains stationary.
Food and beverage hose reels typically come in three types based on their retraction mechanisms: manual, electric motorized, and spring (recoil) hose reels.
- Manual Reels: These do not feature automatic retraction. The hose is manually wound using a crank handle, which can be positioned on either side of the reel upon request. The fluid feed inlet is located opposite the crank handle.
- Electric Motorized and Spring Reels: These reels feature automatic retraction. Spring reels retract using a spring mechanism, while motorized reels utilize an electric motor.

Latching (Locking) Mechanism
Food and beverage processing reels are equipped with a special locking mechanism that allows the hose to be fixed at the desired length. Retraction is initiated by pulling and releasing the hose, disengaging the lock. Unless otherwise requested, these reels are manufactured with a locking mechanism.
Applications
Beverage hose reels are suitable for use in various food processing facilities where food hoses are necessary. They are particularly common in:
- Food production and processing facilities
- Facilities requiring the transfer of liquid foods
- Beverage and soft drink production plants

Why Use a Hose Reel?
Using a food and beverage processing reel provides practicality, organization, and extends the lifespan of your hoses. These reels are essential for any facility with food/beverage transfer needs, ensuring compliance with food safety standards.
Organization and Storage Ease
Food hose reels help wind and store hoses neatly, reducing the risk of tangling or knotting, which can complicate future use.
Extended Hose Life
Hoses that are frequently tangled or laid on the ground have a shorter lifespan and pose hygiene issues. Food&Beverage processing hose reels protect hoses, promoting longevity by storing them in an organized manner and maintaining hygienic conditions.
Ease of Use
Most food hose reels are spring (recoil) types, offering ease of use by automatically retracting the hose.
Safe Use
Designed to withstand harsh industrial conditions, food hose reels are highly resistant to corrosion. They use materials suitable for the type of fluid being transferred, ensuring hygienic food transfer operations.
