PNEUMATIC TUBE SYSTEMS

A hospital pneumatic tube system offers a number of benefits that compensate for the funds invested in its installation. Efficient hospital pneumatic transport reduces operating costs equivalent to the costs of maintaining resources.

A pneumatic tube system comprises several main components. They include:

  • airproof transport pipe network;
  • switches that connect individual pipe sections;
  • blower units generating air pressure or negative pressure in transport pipes;
  • transmitting and receiving stations;
  • control computer;  
  • electronic controls and sensors;
  • line distributor used for multi-line installations.

Pneumatic Mail Systems for Hospitals

An air post in a hospital offers a number of benefits that offset the capital expenditure spent on its installation. Efficient pneumatic conveying helps to reduce operating costs and also supports the optimisation of work in medical facilities.

What does an airmail system consist of?

The air mail system consists of several main components:

  • Tight network of transport pipes - distributed throughout the building
  • Crossovers - connecting individual pipe sections
  • Blowers - those generating air pressure or vacuum
  • Transmitting and receiving stations - for the transmission of materials
  • Control computer - managing the transport process
  • Electronic controls and sensors - monitoring and control of the system
  • Linear distributors - used in multi-line installations

What are the benefits of implementing airmail in a hospital?

The pneumatic mail system provides fast, safe and efficient transport of medical supplies and biological. Investing in such a system brings long-term savings and increases the quality of medical services.

How does airmail work in a hospital?

The transport of materials is carried out by tight network of pipesin which air pressure moves special containers of materials from one point to another. Blowers and a sensor system ensure a smooth and reliable process.

Is the airmail system cost-effective?

The investment in pneumatic mail brings benefits such as reduced operating costs, optimised staffing and increased logistical efficiency in hospitals. Pneumatic transport allows rapid delivery of samples and materials, reducing the time spent waiting for test results.

Is airmail flexible and scalable?

Air mail systems are flexible and can be adapted to different hospital sizes and specific facility needs. Modular design makes it possible to expand the system in line with growing logistical needs.
