Features & Specifications
- The Tornado Cable Blowing Machine is designed to be
safe, fast and effective, even on tough terrain, the Tornado cable
blowing machine will move fiber optic cable of 0.23 to 1.34 in.
(5.84-34mm) diameter at speeds to 300 ft./min. (90 m/min.)
into pre-installed innerduct or direct-buried duct. Tornado MAX includes everything you need in one part number
for most fiber/duct options. - It can accommodate innerduct from .47 to 2.48
in.
(12-63mm) (12-63mm). A conversion kit allows the Tornado to place
12.7/10mm, 12/10mm or 10/8mm micro duct into the inner duct. (sold
separately) - Comprised of an aluminum air box and cable pusher,
the Tornado uses compressed air to install the cable with or without
a missile. In operation, the hydraulically powered, caterpillar belt
drive system controls the fiber optic cable as it is propelled by
compressed air into the duct. An electronic monitoring system
provides read-outs of speed and distance, protects cable against duct
obstructions, and includes an emergency stop facility. - The air box and cable pusher are mounted on a
lightweight, tubular-steel frame that can be tilted at a 30-degree angle
to the manhole, which minimizes significantly any bending of the innerduct
and cable. The frame has height adjustment to permit ease of
maneuverability, and adjustable rear legs that provide added stability on
uneven terrain. - Can also be used without the frame, directly from
its skid. - The Junction Box Adapter is a necessary accessory
for overriding existing cable in an occupied duct (space permitting).
One branch attaches to the Tornado for placing the new cable or micro
ducts, while the other branch seals off and holds the existing cable
in the duct (sold separately). - Included with the Tornado is a convenient toolbox
with all the tools needed for use and maintenance of your blower. - All relevant parts and components of the cable
blowing machine and the hydraulic power pack are specially treated to
resist corrosion.
