Background& Abstract
Pneumatic tubes (or capsule pipelines; also known as pneumatic tube transport or PTT) are
systems that propel cylindrical containers through networks of tubes by compressed air or by
partial vacuum. They are used for transporting solid objects, as opposed to conventional
pipelines, which transport fluids. Pneumatic tube networks gained acceptance in the late 19th and
early 20th centuries for offices that needed to transport small, urgent packages (such as mail,
paperwork, or money) over relatively short distances (within a building, or at most, within a
city). Some installations grew to great complexity, but were mostly superseded. In some settings,
such as hospitals, they remain widespread and have been further extended and developed in
recent decades.
A small number of pneumatic transportation systems were also built for larger cargo, to compete
with more standard train and subway systems. However, these never gained popularity
Types
 Point to point
 Semi automatic
 Fully automatic
Components
 Master control unit
 Real time monitoring
 Speed at which carrier moves
Problem, Hypothesis
Although Pneumatic Tube Systems (PTS), have existed for over 100 years, they increasingly provide an
efficient and cost effective solution to many of the major transportation problems in health care premises.
A successful installation relies upon the network design being suitable for the requirements of the user.
However, specifications for PTS written by potential users during the procurement process tend to focus
inappropriately on features and engineering details rather than on network layout and performance. Where
performance criteria are given, the data is often too general to allow a detailed performance analysis to be
carried out. A better understanding of the design issues affecting a PTS leads to better specified systems
that deliver a higher level of performance and generate higher levels of user satisfaction with the
equipment.
The objective of this article is to introduce some of the steps in the design process of a large PTS
network, to look at some of the potential problems and to take a brief look at some key network

systems and an understanding of them can help in avoiding simple design pitfalls.
Scope
As the pioneer of pneumatic tube systems for hospitals, committed to designing and delivering
innovative air tube systems for today’s healthcare. To help hospitals improve productivity and
achieve an outstanding.
 Incorporate variable speed delivery
 Offer a chain-of-custody solution for secure delivery
 Incorporate touch-panel computers in sending and retrieving stations
 Provide dynamic routing options for optimized delivery speed and throughput
With the broadest system offering and an installed base of more than 3,000 facilities worldwide,
Swisslog can design, develop and implement a pneumatic tube system that meets your specific
needs and delivers optimal performance.
Methodology
The transport of people and goods from one place to another cannot be avoided in the lifestyle of
the modern society. Such movements are almost increasing from year to year. As a result, traffic
jams often occur in various transportation routes and delivering goods to shopping centers on
time are often disturbed. This condition will give loses on the marketability of goods which
having a short lifetime, such as vegetables, fruits, and fresh fish and among others
Pneumatic Air Tubes
The pneumatic air tube system uses the pressure difference between end sides of the tube. Such
pressure differences are created by a blower pump and the carrier which contains the goods or
others can move through it when the air exists on the guide way. Vance and Mattson broadly
define it as, a class of transportation system for passengers or freight whereby capsules are
propelled through continuous tubes between terminals.
Pneumatic Capsule Pipeline Transport For Hospitals
A pneumatic air tube transport system is a distributed network of tubes through which carriers of
various sizes containing small items are driven by air flow, which may typically be either a point
to point or a multipoint system
Applications
In The Form ofMoney Transfer
In large retail stores, pneumatic tube systems were used to transport sales slips and money from
the salesperson to a centralized tube room, where cashiers could make change, reference credit
records, and so on.

4. Many banks with drive-throughs also use pneumatic tubes to transfer input from customers to a
teller.
Some large corporations such as Costco have used pneumatic tubes in the past to transfer money
from the food court to the main cashiers.
In Hospitals
Many hospitals have pneumatic tube systems which send samples to laboratories
