Pneumatic Tube Systems

Sending and receiving station for a pneumatic tube delivery system

Fast and Secure Internal Transport

Perfect Solution Contracting Company provides design coordination, supply, installation, testing, commissioning, and maintenance services for pneumatic tube systems in hospitals, laboratories, banks, commercial buildings, and administrative facilities.

Pneumatic tube systems use controlled airflow to transport reusable carriers between sending and receiving stations through a dedicated pipe network. This helps reduce manual transport time and supports faster daily operations.

System Applications

  • Transport of laboratory samples in hospitals.
  • Delivery of medicines and small medical supplies.
  • Movement of documents and records between departments.
  • Cash and receipt transport in banks and retail stores.
  • Transfer of small components within industrial facilities.
  • Connection of departments across large buildings.

Pneumatic Tube System Components

  • Sending and receiving stations.
  • Reusable transport carriers.
  • Tube network, bends, and connection fittings.
  • Air blowers and drive units.
  • Diverters and multi-route switching equipment.
  • Control panels and communication equipment.
  • Sensors and carrier-tracking devices.
  • Emergency stopping and carrier-recovery facilities.

System Configurations

The system configuration is selected according to the number of stations, transport distances, carrier dimensions, expected transaction volume, delivery priority, and operational requirements.

  • Point-to-point systems connecting two stations.
  • Multi-station systems within a single zone.
  • Multi-zone systems for large buildings.
  • Systems with automatic carrier routing.
  • Priority delivery for urgent transactions.
  • Systems with tracking and transaction records.

Design and Engineering Coordination

Pneumatic tube systems require early coordination with architectural, structural, electrical, mechanical, and fire-protection services, particularly where tube routes pass through walls, ceilings, shafts, and fire-rated compartments.

  • Selection of sending and receiving station locations.
  • Planning of efficient and accessible transport routes.
  • Coordination of wall, floor, and ceiling openings.
  • Provision of electrical power and control communications.
  • Fire stopping around tube penetrations.
  • Suitable access points for inspection and maintenance.

Healthcare Applications

In healthcare facilities, pneumatic tube systems can transport suitable specimens, medicines, and supplies between clinical departments, laboratories, and pharmacies. Carrier selection, operating procedures, and cleaning requirements are coordinated with the healthcare facility’s policies.

Each item should be assessed before transport to confirm that it is suitable for the system, particularly where materials are fragile, sensitive, capable of leaking, or subject to special handling requirements.

Testing and Commissioning

Commissioning includes testing all stations, routes, diverters, sensors, and control functions. Carriers are sent through the system to confirm correct routing, delivery, travel performance, and safe arrival.

Fault conditions, power interruption, carrier recovery, alarms, and priority functions are also tested according to the approved system requirements.

Preventive Maintenance

  • Inspection and cleaning of sending and receiving stations.
  • Inspection of carriers, covers, and sealing rings.
  • Inspection of blowers, motors, and filters.
  • Testing of sensors, diverters, and routing controls.
  • Inspection of tubes, joints, and access points.
  • Review of faults, alarms, and transaction records.
