Sales · Proving empty conduits
Zeitler cord blowing machines at CFT
An empty conduit is only worth something if you can get into it: Zeitler’s machines drive a cord through the conduit with compressed air – and the cord is followed by the cable, the pull wire or the traceable sonde. From the short service connection to the long route, this is the calmest way to prove and use a conduit.

Official dealer for Germany
The contract partner for German customers is CFT Group Deutschland GmbH in Erding: advice before the purchase, introduction after delivery, orders run through the group shop SEMPERDEAL.
The Zeitler range
The EZ range is graduated by conduit dimension and route length; add special and traceable cords, blowing aids such as parachutes, lubri balls, beads and the shuttle, plus nozzles, adapters and wear parts. Which combination fills your conduits depends on dimension, length and bends – exactly what the call before the order settles.
What these machines are used for
Traceable cords are the little brother of line location: a blown-in traceable cord makes a plastic conduit findable from the surface. A cord blowing machine is rarely bought as a single item, but as the start of a chain – after the machine come cords, parachutes, nozzles and eventually the wear parts. With us that chain does not break: the introduction follows the delivery, cord and nozzle are restocked from the same house, and whether your task gets by with the smaller version is something we say before the purchase – not after.
Introduction and training
Every machine bought from us comes with an introduction: pressure, nozzle choice, parachute size and the hand movements that get the cord around the third bend too.
Service, repair and calibration
We do not hold a manufacturer’s repair authorisation for Zeitler. Without one we do not open an instrument – not even one you bought from us. Call us: we will tell you where it belongs and handle the arrangements with the manufacturer.
Frequently asked questions
How far does a blown-in cord get?
That depends on dimension, length, bends and conduit condition – under good conditions it is many hundreds of metres. Name us your route, and we tell you whether it can be proved in one go.
Does it also work in a partly occupied conduit?
Often yes, with the right blowing aids – the shuttle snakes past existing cables. Completely full conduits stay full though; we say that honestly beforehand.
What does a traceable cord add over a normal one?
It carries a metallic conductor: afterwards the plastic conduit can be followed from the surface with ordinary line location – an invisible pipe becomes a traceable one.
