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 coupled hoses automatically and efficiently. No manpower is needed inside the hose compartment because the retrieval unit goes back and forth as well as left and right to flake the hose. You can use the HRU200 or 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.
An extra unique feature is the fact that the HRU of the AutoFlaker is equipped with double pressure rollers, opening up automatically to let couplings come through. This function is controlled by computerized electronic eyes. The HRU recovers any hose up to 12″ (300 mm), with all standard couplings.
Do you want to use the AutoFlaker in combination with a full size HoseLayerContainer compartment or CombiContainers? That is no problem. There is room for storage of lay flat fire hoses up to 12″ (300 mm) in diameter. The containers can be handled by means of a truck with hook arm lift off system and designed for high speed hose deployment (up to 40 km/hr) and a 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 unit, the AutoFlaker is suitable for all mobile ambient conditions. By means of a wireless remote control unit, hose compartments are selected, the unit is prepared for flaking and the automated flaking process is started. After recovery, the flaking unit is stored in the transport position again.
