Hose reels from JSG Industrial Systems

Hose reels from JSG Industrial Systems are designed to offer quality, strength, durability and serviceability. 

JSG’s hose reels are designed to handle hoses from 1/4" to 2" to cater for most market requirements. Hose reels can also be supplied without aluminium parts for underground coal mining applications. 

Hose reels are available in manual, spring, air or hydraulic rewind configurations to meet material dispensing, ergonomic, environmental, OH&S and storage requirements.   

OH&S is a major issue for companies with hoses lying around shop floors or hanging from ceilings creating risk of injury to workers. JSG’s hose reels are designed to safely rewind and store hoses away from hazardous locations on service vehicles, machinery or shop floors to facilitate a safer working environment. 

Commonly dispensed products when using hose reels include air, water, oil and grease. While hoses are selected based on duty cycle, mode of retraction, product to be dispensed, hose capacity, pressure rating and flow rate, hose reel selection depends upon the intended use.

Energy companies to post fracking chemicals online

Oil and gas companies operating in Colorado are among many that say they will voluntarily disclose the chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing.

The technique — also known as "fracking" — that blasts water, sand and chemicals into rock layers deep underground to unlock oil and gas.

The companies are uploading data, including well locations, this week to a website created by the Groundwater Protection Council, a national association of groundwater protection agencies, and the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission, an interstate commission created in 1935. Both are located in Oklahoma City.
