HydroSKY Cable Blowing Machine
The HydroSKY Cable Blowing Machine is a specialized solution designed to install fiber optic cables into HDPE conduits with impressive force. It operates with a hydraulic power unit and harnesses hydraulic motors for robust performance. Capable of handling fiber cable diameters ranging from 6 mm to 24 mm, this system efficiently tackles demanding installation projects.
Engine and Power Unit
At its core, HydroSKY features a reliable 9 HP Honda Gx270 gasoline engine. The integrated power unit benefits from an advanced cooling and filtration setup, ensuring stable operation during extended work sessions. With an oil flow rate of about 8 liters per minute and a 20-liter hydraulic reservoir, this machine supplies sufficient pressure to deliver a consistent cable-blowing process.
Effortless Control and Portability
A detachable control panel allows operators to manage settings and make real-time adjustments, even under challenging conditions. Thanks to an ergonomic design, HydroSKY is transport-friendly and easy to set up on various sites. It excels in different sectors, including airport expansions, petro pipeline installations, telecom operations, outdoor infrastructure builds, and fiber data center projects (FTTH–FTTX).
Superior Cable Thrust
This hydraulic cable blower can propel both armored and unarmored fiber cables at speeds up to 180 meters per minute. Actual installation speed may vary based on cable diameter and project parameters. When using a 40 mm HDPE pipe, a recommended air supply of approximately 12 bar at 10 m³/min ensures optimal results.
Stable Hydraulic Operation
Its sturdy construction guarantees a smooth, hydraulic cable blow. Attaching two hydraulic hoses to the power unit is all it takes to ready the system for use. Thanks to the convenient design, operators can move the machine where it’s needed and adapt quickly to diverse site demands. An onboard meter counter keeps track of the cable length, and HydroSKY excels at long-distance blowing—sometimes up to 6000 meters—depending on environmental variables. If required, an optional water feed can further extend the cable-blowing range.
Quick Startup
HydroSKY becomes operational once the machine is connected to an air compressor using a suitable hose coupling.
Four-Step Belt (Chain) System
The machine uses four different belt sizes (chain sets) covering 4–7 mm, 8–13 mm, 14–18 mm, and 19–24 mm cable diameters. It also supports custom duct adapters for various pipe sizes, providing flexibility for different installation needs.
