Pneumatic tube systems in hospitals

Are you looking for cost-saving solutions for internal hospital transport?

When staff are in short supply, nurses and specialist caregivers can spend valuable time on errands instead of patient care. Pneumatic tube systems offer a fast, reliable and cost-efficient solution. They connect departments from admissions and diagnostics to laboratories, operating theatres, blood banks, central pharmacies, pathology and nursing stations, as well as administrative and kitchen areas. Our hospital transport solutions improve internal logistics, reduce manual workloads and shorten response times, freeing staff to focus on patients.

What can be transported?

Our hospital pneumatic tube systems are suitable for transporting a wide range of essential items, including:

Laboratory samples
Blood products
Medications
Medical instruments
Injections
Cytostatics
Documents

These items can be delivered efficiently and securely throughout the hospital using a pneumatic tube system.

Sending and receiving station

Our hospital stations support automatic dispatch with storage memory and pneumatically braked arrivals. They are designed to meet hygiene requirements and prevent air leakage during sending and receiving. Transport speed can be adjusted for sensitive items. Central control tracks and records every process for real-time monitoring and accurate evaluation.

Control software

Our hospital systems use microprocessor control for single-line or multi-line installations, covering logistics and hygiene requirements. Electronically controlled diverters route carriers to the selected destination. A Linux-based interface provides live visualisation, dispatch logging and straightforward control during operation. Graphical statistics support detailed transport analysis.

Transfer Units: Diverter or Linear Coupler Transits

Diverters and linear couplers connect the system’s different zones. Central control coordinates all dispatches for smooth operation.

Pneumatic Tube Carriers

We offer specialized carriers for different hospital applications, including models for transporting blood samples in AD 110 and AD 160 sizes.

Benefits of pneumatic tube systems in hospitals

Hospitals depend on fast, reliable communication and the timely transport of blood samples, medicines and blood products. Pneumatic tube systems are particularly valuable in larger hospitals, including those with more than 200 beds. Their main benefits include:

Speed and efficiency
When every second counts, such as during surgery or when lab results are urgently needed, pneumatic tube systems are the fastest solution. They transport blood, tissue, and urine samples, as well as medications, quickly across the hospital, allowing staff to focus on patient care rather than running errands.
Safe, gentle transport
Transporting delicate samples requires care. Modern pneumatic systems offer adjustable speeds and leak-proof carriers to ensure that even sensitive materials, like blood samples, are handled gently and arrive intact.
Reduced staff workload and greater productivity
In hospitals facing staff shortages, pneumatic tube systems help by taking over time-consuming tasks like delivering samples or medications between departments. This frees up personnel to concentrate on their primary duties – patient care.
Cost efficiency and a rapid return on investment
Pneumatic systems not only save time but also reduce operational costs. The investment often pays for itself within one to two years, thanks to the system’s efficiency and productivity improvements.
Flexibility
From the ER to the lab and pharmacy, pneumatic tube system can connect various hospital departments. Their space-saving stations are designed for easy integration into any hospital layout, providing seamless logistical support.
