Pneumatic Tube Systems
WHAT IS A PNEUMATIC TUBE SYSTEM?
The pneumatic tube system is an efficient and quick way of transporting materials (documents, cash, samples etc) within a building or between buildings. It is comprised of stations for sending and receiving and a tube network via which the carriers (capsules that contain the materials) are transported with air. The new systems are totally automated providing a reliable solution to transport logistics.
HOW DOES A PNEUMATIC TUBE SYSTEM WORK?
There are stations in the areas that we want to communicate with (send and receive). The user places the items in the carrier, then selects the destination address and puts the carrier in the station. the carrier will automatically be transported to its destination. The carrier upon arrival stays in the station or drops smoothly in a receiving basket. Arrival signals announce the arriving carrier to the receiver.
The connection of all stations is done via a tube network. The pneumatic dispatch tube is a PVC-Tube according to DIN 8061 and 8062, with very tight production tolerance in regards to the measurement and surface. The tube is joined with glue sleeves or steel sleeves.
To connect more than two stations diverters are used. There are 2-, 3- and 4-way diverters.
The supply of air is provided by the blower. The blower generates the air, which is necessary, to operate a Pneumatic Tube System by suction or pressure.
The materials are transported in Carriers. There different sizes and kind depending on the application (for documents, for samples, for liquids etc.)

The Pneumatic Tube System is quick, safe and reliable saving time and money. Productivity is improved with the personnel not wasting time to run errands but concencetrating on their work. Given the high technology and the ideal price performance ratio of the systems, the payback period is short and usually is less than a year.
IN WHAT SIZE BUSINESS IS A PNEUMATIC TUBE SYSTEM APPLICABLE?
The size of the business is not the determining factor. There are systems for every situation, from the basic two point system for the small store that has a need to transport items from the ground floor to the first floor or the basement, up to fully automated systems controlled via PC, with tens or hundreds of stations. The systems are adapted to cover the specific requirements of the client and the application.
WHERE IS A PNEUMATIC TUBE SYSTEM INSTALLED?
Practically everywhere. Either horizontal or vertical installation and not only within the same building. There are Aerocom pneumatic tube systems connecting buildings which are far apart and even streets and rivers are not an obstacle for us. The longest system has a length of 12km.
We are sure to have the right solution for your transporting problem!
WHEN IS A RIGHT TIME TO INSTALL A PNEUMATIC TUBE SYSTEM?
The time of installation of a system can be during a new construction or as is the case for most of the times in existing operating businesses where the need is apparent. For instance most of the installations i.e even in existing hospitals are done without disrupting their operation.
