As the importance of hose reels is known in applications such as fire and safety systems, agricultural equipment, underwater diving equipment and oil industries, it is also worth observing the need of hose reels for applications involving the suction (negative) pressures. Some of the applications of negative pressures or vacuum include sewage and drainage cleaning systems, coal industries, cement industries and many more. So, it becomes of utmost importance to develop equipment that increase the convenience using vacuum for various applications. One such equipment for increasing the convenience for applications involving vacuum would be a hose reel. It is proposed to develop a hose reel that is acclimated to high vacuum pressures. The effect of different parameters associated with the seal materials and their effect on sealing performance using FEA tool will also be studied. © 2022 Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications.
