The present disclosure relates to a process and a device for winding a strand of hollow fiber membranes.

A hose reel unit for a high-pressure washer has a hose reel and a reel hose arranged in its receptacle. The hose reel is rotatable about an axis of rotation for winding and unwinding the reel hose. The first end of the reel hose is connectable to a supply line and the second end to a washer wand of the high-pressure washer. The hose reel has sidewalls delimiting the receptacle in a direction of the axis of rotation. The first end of the reel hose extends to the first sidewall and is coaxial to the axis of rotation. A guide device arranged between the sidewalls guides the reel hose such that the axis of rotation extends through the reel hose. The guide device is spaced apart form the first end of the reel hose at a support distance measured in a direction of the axis of rotation.

An expandable reel for a well system includes a support frame configured to receive a torque from a motor a plurality of circumferentially spaced spokes each extending radially away from a central axis of the expandable reel, a core assembly configured to couple to the support frame and receive a tubular of the well system about an outer surface of the core assembly, wherein the core assembly includes a plurality of circumferentially spaced panel assemblies each extending longitudinally between opposed ends thereof that are in sliding engagement with the plurality of spokes, and a linear actuator coupled between the support frame and the core assembly and configured to actuate the core assembly, including the plurality of panel assemblies, between a first configuration providing a first outer diameter and a second configuration providing a second outer diameter that is different from the first outer diameter.

A device for receiving a suction hose that connects a nozzle of a vacuuming device to a central unit of the vacuuming device. The device is has at least one holding device that can be arranged on the central unit of the vacuuming device, wherein the suction hose is able to be fitted in the at least one holding device such that the hose can be accommodated in a secure and stable manner. This advantageously makes it possible for the user of the vacuuming device to be able to adapt the length of the suction hose as required to the task currently to be performed. Here, the unused part of the suction hose is stored in a particularly secure and stable manner in the device or in cavities of the device that can be formed between the at least one holding device and a rear part. In a second aspect, the invention relates to a vacuuming device having a central unit that is connected to a suction hose having a nozzle.

An apparatus for driving a flexible lance hose into and out of tubes in a heat exchanger tube sheet includes a housing and an upper endless belt drive assembly and a lower endless belt drive assembly spaced apart by a gap for receiving a flexible lance hose therein. One of the drive assemblies is fixed to the housing. The other drive assembly is movable within the housing toward and away from the one endless belt drive assembly. The apparatus further includes a drive motor fastened to the housing configured to engage at least one of the upper and lower endless belts and drive a flexible lance hose disposed in the gap.

A system includes a trailer frame, a lifting mechanism coupled to the trailer frame, wherein the lifting mechanism is configured to raise or lower a coil of pipe or a reel of pipe, a braking mechanism configured to apply pressure to the pipe while the pipe is being deployed by the system, and a hydraulic power unit configured to hydraulically power the system.

A pump trailer including a frame, a pump and at least one locomotion member. The pump is suspended within the frame using an elevator. The at least one locomotion member is coupled to a base of the frame to facilitate motion of the frame over terrain. The elevator raises the pump to a fully raised position or lowers the pump to a pumping position.

A reel system that includes a drum that receives a coil of flexible pipe. A first flange that removably couples to a first side of the drum. A second flange that removably couples to a second side of the drum. The first flange and the second flange secure the coil of flexible pipe to the drum.

A touchless cleaning assembly for cleaning a room in a touch-less manner includes a cabinet is recessed into a wall of a room. A plurality of hose reels is positioned in the cabinet and each of the hose reels includes a hose that is drawable outwardly from the cabinet for spraying a fluid for cleaning surfaces in the room, for blowing air to dry the surfaces and to vacuum the surfaces. An air compressor is positioned within the cabinet to direct compressed air into a respective hose reel to dry the surfaces. A vacuum is positioned within the cabinet to supply vacuum pressure to the a respective hose reel for suctionally removing the fluid from a floor of the room.

A cable tensioning system including: a body defining a balance point; a cable receiving area having gripping elements configured to grip and bias a cable relative to the cable tensioning system; and a sensor configured to sense changes to a balance of the body about the balance point, wherein the cable tensioning system is configured to maintain the cable within a preset range of tensions.
