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.
It can accommodate innerduct from .47 to 2.48 in.
(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
