CONDUX WINCH LINE BLOWER 2
1. General Information
Purpose of the Winch Line Blower
The Condux Winch Line Blower is a unique device for inserting winch lines directly into
underground conduit before cable pulling or conduit proving operations. The winch line blower is
comprised of three main parts that, when used in conjunction with an air compressor and a cable
pulling winch mechanism (truck, trailer, or portable), will propel a standard steel winch cable into
an unobstructed, unoccupied, airtight, plastic conduit run at an average speed of 100 feet per
minute.
The Condux winch line blower will work with nearly all type of existing steel cable winches that
are currently being used for the installation of underground
utility cables.
Because of the unique design of the winch line blower, it will
operate in a wide range of conduit sizes, from 2to 6 inch duct,
and with various diameter winch lines up 7/8” (14mm)
without compromising efficiency.
The three main parts of the winch line blower are the
winchline blower body assembly, the missile and the control valve assembly. When each part of
the system is properly installed and maintained, this provides a means of using existing winch line
equipment to speed up cable installation procedures by as much as 1000 percent.
