Blowing machine for micro cable / micro tubes

The tube blowing machine „Tornado“, comprising an air box and pusher, has been designed to provide an effective and safe method of installing micro-tubes. The system operates on the viscous drag principle employing compressed air to install the tubes, controlled and assisted by a belt system.

The tubes are propelled by compressed air, fed into the duct via a venturi principle, while the hydraulic powered belt drive system controls the micro-tubes. The electronic monitoring system provides read out of speed and distance, gives protection against duct obstructions and includes an emergency stop facility.

The system is mounted on an anti corrosion treated, sturdy, height adjustable, wheeled, tubular steel trolley. This allows the unit to be wheeled around on site; in addition the system can also be detached from the trolley. The petrol driven power pack provides power. The unit is CE approved.

The “Breeze” Cable Blowing Machine has been designed to meet the growing need for the installation of micro cables Ø 1-8 mm into micro tubes of dia. 5-16 mm. Small and portable with ergonomic controls, it is ideally suited for external or internal use.

The compliant double driven cable rollers provide secure grip whilst safely handling the cable. The pushing force can be set to match the cable stiffness, and the speed control is fully adjustable between zero and maximum.

Recent improvements to the machine implement a high/low torque switch giving greater sensitivity when adjusting lowend torque.
