What's New
Tornado Cable Blowing Machine
Now available with standard cart or protective case and flat cart.
Designed to be safe, fast and effective, the Tornado Cable Blowing Machine installs fiber optic cable into pre-installed innerduct or direct buried innerduct. Expanded capacity now allows for large (1.34″/34mm), high density or high fiber count (1728/3456) cables. A conversion kit allows the Tornado to place either 12.7, 12/10mm or 10/8mm micro ducts into innerduct as well.
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, belt drive system controls the fiber optic cable as it is propelled by compressed air through the innerduct. An electronic monitoring system provides read-outs of speed and distance, helps protect cable against damage, and includes an emergency stop button.
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 significantly minimizes any bending of the innerduct and cable. The frame has retractable handles to permit ease of maneuverability, and adjustable rear legs that provide added stability on uneven terrain. This unit comes complete with a gasoline engine powered hydraulic power pack.
