Prevost DPF Hose Reels: Industrial Safety Enclosed Hose Reel

Advanced Braking Technology & Anti-Static Options for Critical Environments

The Prevost DPF Series represents the gold standard in operator safety and hose management. While it shares the rugged steel armor of the DMF series, the DPF elevates performance with a focus on controlled retraction and specialized applications. Designed for environments where safety cannot be compromised—such as paint shops, chemical handling areas, and busy manufacturing floors—the DPF prevents accidents before they happen.

It combines a heavy-duty galvanized steel casing with a premium polyurethane hose and an integrated braking mechanism, ensuring that the hose retracts at a safe, walking speed rather than snapping back uncontrollably.

Key Features & Benefits

• Controlled Slow Retraction: The defining feature of the DPF series is its internal braking system. Unlike standard spring reels that can “whip” the hose back at dangerous speeds, the DPF ensures a smooth, steady retraction. This prevents injury to operators and damage to nearby equipment or vehicles.
• ATEX-Ready Options: The DPF series includes specific models certified for ATEX zones (explosive atmospheres). These units are equipped with anti-static hoses and conductive components to prevent static discharge, making them the only safe choice for paint booths, grain silos, and petrochemical facilities.
• High-Flex Polyurethane Hose: Pre-loaded with a lightweight, ultra-flexible polyurethane (PU) hose that resists abrasion and oils. Unlike rubber, it glides easily over surfaces and resists “memory,” lying flat when extended to prevent tripping hazards.
• Rugged Steel Housing: Like the DMF, the DPF is encased in a hot-dip galvanized steel shell with a UV-resistant powder coat, protecting the internal drum from impact, dust, and debris.
• PrevoS1 One-Touch Safety: Standard air models come fitted with the prevoS1 safety coupling, which vents downstream pressure before disconnection, eliminating hose whip at the tool end.

Technical Specifications

Ideal Applications

• Paint & Body Shops: The anti-static (ATEX) models prevent sparks in volatile environments, while the slow retraction prevents the hose from whipping against freshly painted vehicle panels.
• Petrochemical & Mining: Essential for areas requiring explosion-proof (Ex) rated equipment.
• Busy Assembly Lines: The controlled return ensures that a hose released by an operator doesn’t strike a coworker or knock over parts on a conveyor belt.
• Clean Rooms: The polyurethane hose is cleaner than rubber, shedding less particulate matter.

The “Safety” Upgrade: DMF vs. DPF

• DMF (Standard Steel): Excellent durability and protection. Retracts at standard spring speed.
• DPF (Premium Safety): The upgrade choice. Adds Slow Retraction brakes to prevent injury and Anti-Static options for hazardous zones.
