Compressed air hose reels
CEJN compressed air hose reels are designed for reliable and convenient access to compressed air in workshops, production facilities and demanding industrial environments. Retractable hose reels help keep hoses organised and off the floor, making pneumatic tools easier to handle and use. CEJN compressed air reels are available in different designs, hose lengths and mounting options for a wide range of applications.
How to choose the right compressed air hose reel
Choosing the right compressed air hose reel depends on the application, the pneumatic tools being used, the environment and which specific functions are required.
Consider the following when choosing a reel:
- Hose length and size: Select a hose that provides sufficient reach while maintaining the required airflow.
- Airflow: A reel with unrestricted airflow and low pressure drop helps maximise tool performance.
- Hose retraction: Automatic or spring-driven retraction makes the hose easy to handle and keeps it organised.
- Installation: Wall, ceiling and swing-bracket mounting options make it easier to position the reel where compressed air is needed.
- Environment and use: Choose a hose and reel designed for the environment and type of work.
Smart and easy access to pneumatic tools
A compressed air hose reel keeps the air supply close to the point of use, making pneumatic tools easy to connect and use. Automatic retraction keeps the hose organised and off the floor, improving workplace safety, efficiency and ergonomics.
Common applications for compressed air hose reels
Compressed air hose reels are useful wherever pneumatic tools are used, from workshops and manufacturing to specialised environments such as food and beverage production. Typical applications include:
- Automotive workshops
- Manufacturing and assembly
- Maintenance and repair
- Service vehicles
- Construction and industrial environments
- Food and beverage production
For food and beverage applications, CEJN also offers SafetyReel FS, a food-safe compressed air hose reel designed for hygienic environments.
Can a compressed air hose reel be used for water?
Some compressed air hose reels can also be used for water if the hose and all components in contact with the fluid are suitable for the application. SafetyReel G2 is available with a hose designed for both compressed air and water, making it suitable for either application.
Airflow matters for pneumatic tool performance
The internal design of a compressed air hose reel can significantly affect pressure drop and tool performance. CEJN hose reels are designed for unrestricted airflow, helping deliver compressed air efficiently, minimising energy losses and maximising pneumatic tool performance.
Flexible installation for easy access
Compressed air hose reels are available for wall or ceiling mounting, depending on the reel type and workplace layout. Swing brackets allow the reel to follow the operator's movements, making the hose easier to access, pull out and retract.
