Reel Power ME Umbilical Reel Unique Features:

Reel Power ME's Smart ReelConstant Tension (CT-2) feature automatically adjusts the tension of the reel as the umbilical is deployed allowing the reel to function on its own. This feature also monitors the speed of the reel and detects if the reel is moving faster than the riser. When this speed differential occurs the reel willautomatically set the clutches and brakes stopping the umbilical in the event of over-payout or runaway storm loop.

Our Power Brake Assist (PBA) system reduces the brake response time and allows better control of the brakes at lower supply air pressures.

The “Slip Clutch” system allows the spool to turn, under a pre-set drag, even if the brake is locked, protecting the hose from damage in the event of unexpected riser movement.

Our patented “Banana Curve” allows the level-wind fleet angle to be adjusted within a 110° range allowing hose deployment from the vertical position to just below the horizontal position. The adjustable level-wind angle features allows the user additional flexibility when locating the reels and umbilical sheaves on a vessel. 

The “Local Controls” allowRadoil reels to be operated from controls mounted on the reels or from a remote control panel. Our control panels can be configured to operate as many reels from one station as the customer desires.
