    Abstract: The disclosure provides a hose manufacturing machine, which includes a spool and a pintle assembly. The spool rotates about a central axis. The pintle assembly includes a spindle and a brake arrangement. A first end of the spindle is attached to the spool along the central axis. The brake arrangement includes a brake disc and a force plate. The brake disc includes a brake surface and is attached to a second end of the spindle. The force plate includes a number of brake pads.
