The AutoFlaker is a highly efficient automated hose recovery system, that only needs one person to automatically retrieve hoses up to 12″ (300mm) in diameter.
The AutoFlaker retrieves and flakes the connected hose automatically and efficiently. No manpower is required in the hose as the retrieval unit moves back and forth as well as left and right to flake the hose. It can be used with the HRU200 or the HRU300.
The special designed containers allows the AutoFlaker to move back and forth and left and right over the container, to flake the coupled hose in the most efficient way. The AutoFlaker is demountable and can be moved from one container to the other.
Another unique feature is that the AutoFlaker’s HRU is equipped with double pressure rollers that automatically open to allow the hoses to pass through. This function is controlled by computerised electronic eyes. The HRU will recover any hose up to 12″ (300 mm) with all standard couplings.
Want to use the AutoFlaker in combination with a full-size HoseLayerContainer compartment or CombiContainer? No problem. The containers can be handled by a truck with a hook arm lifting system and are designed for high speed hose deployment (up to 40 km/hr) and maximum storage of hose length.
The AutoFlaker is hydraulically driven by the PTO of the truck with hook arm lift off system.
It is also possible to mount a diesel driven powerpack in the front cabinet of the container, so the container can operate completely autonomous.
Controlled by a dedicated Hytrans remote control, the AutoFlaker is suitable for all environments. A wireless remote control selects the hose compartments, prepares the unit for flaking and starts the automated flaking process. After recovery, the flaker is returned to the transport position.
