I brought it into the office and ran some measured pieces through.
It has a meters/second setting and they were doing some mental math to come up
with the higher number.
And they did not blow as far as I thought that run was.
It was doing 350 fpm, but still that is really hauling a$$

The guys say it was really doing about 600 fpm. So 6.81 MPH
I have never seen a blowing machine go this fast.
But the machine was originally designed for heavy large copper cable so it is
vastly overkill for microfiber.

Wow. That's almost 6 MPH. Would like to see that in operation.

I got a junk Condux fiber blower in trade for plowing some cable. I bought
new pads for the belt and machined them down to fit microfiber. I made new
inserts to grip and seal on microfiber and microduct.
We tried it out this morning. Blew 5000’ in 10 minutes.
And that is using an 85 CFM 120 PSI compressor.
I am liking my piece of junk that I fixed up.
