FCST-FBM01 Easy Set Fiber Blowing Machine

1. Equipment for compressors: air coolers, air dryers, air heaters.

2. Equipment for fiber blowing: Y connectors, blowing heads.

3. Cable equipment: cable trailers, stands for cable pay-off, cable storage device for uncoiling excess cable (Twister, Figaro).

4. Accessories for tubes and microducts: trailers and unwinders, cutters, leak testers, calibrators, location probes.

1. Assure free cable unwinding with the ability to control the unwinding speed.

2. Place the blowing machine on a secure and stable stand.

3. Make sure that the cable drum, blowing machine and duct are in line as much as possible.

4. Make sure that the outgoing air and the outgoing cable cannot hit anyone at the end of the blowing route.

1. AlI operating members must be trained to work on the operated machines.Machines should be accompanied by operating manuals.

2. The staff should be equipped with appropriate protective clothing ensuring safe work.

3. Keep workers connected at the beginning and end of the blowing route.

4. After completing blowing in, reduce the pressure to atmospheric in all devices and lines. .

1. Check if the cable is correctly coiled on the drum.

2. Check if the cable is not deformed or damaged，

3. Make sure that the cable is not dirty.

4. Mount a suitable cap on the head of the cable.

1. Attach a short 1-1.5 m length of cable to the blowing head.

2. Block the microduct outlet.

3. In the blowing machine's feeder, place a 3-4 m long cable.

4. Set the motors to low power and start the feeder so that the cable hits the end of the blanked conduit at the highest possible speed.

5. Repeat the operation several times, increasing the power of the motors each time, until you make the cable break.

6. The maximum allowable pushing force will be the one from the last attempt,which did not damage the cable.

1. Place a brass cable protector on the end of the cable

2. Pour the appropriate amount of the lubricant into the duct.

3. Manually insert the cable into the duct for several meters.

4. Install the duct and the cable in the blowing machine.

5. After starting the feeder (without the air attached) push the cable into the duct as far as possible,at a speed of up to 60m/min.

6. When the speed starts to drop significantly, compressed air must be slowly fed to the head at a pressure of 1-2 bar.

7. As the resistance increases and the velocity decreases, the pressure of the blowing air should be increased smoothly by 1 bar.

8. Repeat the process until you reach the appropriate distance.

9. If the desired length is not achieved, stop blowing, bleed the pipe and try again after a few minutes, starting with the minimum pressure on the head. .

10. The operation can be repeated several times.
