Resumen

This work describes the design of an external cleaning system for fire hoses with an external polyester or rubber jacket. This device is intended as a tool for simple and effective external cleaning. Within the capabilities of the equipment is the washing and winding of a hose. This is made up of a washing chamber, which contains a group of sprinklers inside with a brushing system and a winding mechanism with a platform designed to carry out the type of winding snail or single donut. Cleaning can be applied to both types of coatings with the action of a selector switch, the variables involved are adjusted accordingly. The system aims to perform its functions without damaging the composition of the hose lining material, in addition to reducing the space required during cleaning.
