Hose reel

Hose reels, also known as washing units, are an indispensable professional solution for kitchens requiring maximum operational flexibility in cleaning and washing operations. These devices integrate a flexible hose mounted on an automatic spring-loaded reel, allowing you to reach every corner of the kitchen with a powerful jet of water and automatically rewind the hose when not in use. Monolith produces a complete range of hose reels, specifically designed to withstand the intensive use of the Ho.Re.Ca sector, maintaining consistent performance even after numerous rewinding cycles. This solution is particularly popular in commercial kitchens where floors, walls, large equipment, and areas difficult to reach with fixed taps need to be washed. The automatic rewinding system optimizes space and prevents tripping or damage to the hose, ensuring operational safety and extended life.

Kitchen Wash Units

Monolith kitchen wash units are specifically designed to handle the operational needs of professional kitchens, where quick and effective cleaning is essential to maintaining HACCP hygiene standards. The hose is made of food-grade rubber reinforced with nylon weave, resistant to temperatures up to 80°C and operating pressures up to 10 bar. The operating pressure and temperature limits of the various wash unit models vary depending on the terminal nozzle used. Typically, the maximum operating pressure is 6 bar and the maximum temperature ranges from 40°C to 70°C. Standard lengths range from 10 to 20 meters, allowing large areas to be covered without having to move the hose reel. One type of spray gun includes an ergonomic lever with a locking system that allows the jet to be maintained without having to continuously hold the control, reducing staff fatigue during prolonged cleaning operations. Another spray gun model features an adjustable nozzle, allowing you to switch from a concentrated jet (ideal for removing encrusted residue) to a wide jet (perfect for quickly rinsing large surfaces). The rewinding system uses a calibrated spring that rewinds the hose, preventing violent jerks that could damage the mechanism or cause accidents. However, the user must supervise the hose rewinding.

Why choose them

Hose reels are a strategic investment for any professional kitchen that focuses on operational efficiency and high hygiene standards. The first advantage is versatility: a single hose reel can replace multiple fixed washing stations, reducing installation and maintenance costs. The ability to reach every corner of the kitchen with a high-pressure jet drastically reduces daily cleaning time, allowing staff to focus on production operations. The second advantage is hygiene: the powerful jet effectively removes food residue from floors, walls, and equipment, preventing the formation of bacterial biofilms and ensuring HACCP compliance. The third advantage is safety: the automatic rewinding system eliminates the risk of tripping caused by hoses left on the floor, a critical factor in kitchens where staff move quickly during service. For kitchens that need to handle large production volumes, the hose reel becomes an essential tool for maintaining a clean and safe environment without taking away precious time from production operations. The investment quickly pays for itself through time savings in daily cleaning and reduced maintenance costs compared to multiple washing systems.
