Use the Pushing Power Indicator (PPI) on the MiniFlow RAPID to monitor the pushing force on the fiber
cable.
There are several things to consider when
blowing cables, because they influence the
different settings of speed and pressure. For
instance the diameter and stiffness of the
cable, the force needed to pull the cable
forward to the MiniFlow RAPID cable blowing
machine as well as the force needed to
overcome friction from seals and air pressure
inside the blowing junction block.
It is not possible to give exact directions on
adjusting the different pressures because it
depends on the conditions of the specific job.
Please be aware of the maximum load on the
cable and allowed force on the duct as
specified by the manufacturers.
Maintenance
The MiniFlow RAPID does not require much
maintenance if the following recommendations
are followed:
The chains must be kept well lubricated and
free from sand and dust. It is recommended to
use a chain spray with water-repellent oil.
The chains should be tightened to an extent
that the they can be lifted only 3-5 mm from
the chain support rail.
The chains and the chain support rails must be
replaced timely.
It is very important to avoid any kind of dirt in
the hydraulic connectors when mounting the
hydraulic hoses.
If the machine is not to be used for a longer
period of time, it should be cleaned and the
chains should be lubricated. It is also
recommended to spray the machine with an
anti-corrosion oil. Store the machine in a dry
and dust-free environment.
It is strongly recommended to use original
spare parts. Repairs should be performed by
the manufacturer. Errors and damage caused
by unauthorized use and changes or adjust-
ment of the machine are not covered by
warranty.
CABLE DAMAGE SAFETY
Miniflow RAPID has a unique
monitoring system, which continuously
monitors the pushing force
applied on the fiber cable,
making it possible to stop
before cable damage.
