Drying mechanism for fire hoses - has suction nozzles one behind other in hose travel direction leading to exhaust system and hose passing between driven rollers

摘要

The nozzles (6) are spaced apart in the travel direction, and bear against its surfaces in the working position. The distance between them is at least equal to that between the hose edges, and from them suction pipes lead to the moisture-extractor of an exhaust system. Their suction openings (7) extend beyond the hose at each side, so as always to suck in dry air. This is done via parts in the nozzle edges at right angles to the hose travel direction. A pair of driven rollers (8) press against opposite sides of the hose after the nozzles. ADVANTAGE - Complete drying of hose without need for a drying tower.s
