What Is A Pneumatic Tube System ?

Greenvac Pneumatic Tube System (PTS) is a transport solution that conveys various materials to different locations within a facility, building or campus. Greenvac PTS enables the rapid and secure transfer of lab samples, reports, documents, cash, pharmaceuticals and other items, through a network of tubes, connecting key areas. Materials are placed in carriers and automatically transported to and from designated points, streamlining operations and enhancing existing intra-facility logistics with efficient automation. Its adds accountability and logs data of all transactions.

90mm | 110mm | 160mm | 200mm

How it Works

  • Greenvac Stations are strategically placed across the facility and connected by a network of pipes, forming direct or branched routes from origin to destination to enable seamless carrier transport.
  • Greenvac Carriers (capsules) containing materials are inserted into stations.
  • Greenvac System uses air pressure (positive or negative), to move the carrier through tubes to the destination station.
  • Greenvac Central Software, routes the carriers to correct destinations via switches and diverters.

Applications

Pneumatic Tube System (PTS)
Can Be Used For Various Industries

  • Hospitals
  • Laboratories
  • Toll Plazas
  • Casino
  • Mines
  • Banks & Supermarkets (Cash)
  • Offices (Documentation)
  • Industries (Document, hot samples of upto 600ºC)
  • Hotels & Restaurants etc.

Diverter Transfer Zone

A Divertor Transfer Zone is a vital component that uses automated divertor mechanisms to dynamically redirect carrier paths based on predefined destinations, optimizing routing efficiency and system performance

Key Features

  • Seamless inter-zone communication.
  • Priority-based routing.
  • Automated switching without manual intervention.
  • Scalable system architecture across large facilities.
  • Commonly deployed in hospitals, industrial plants, airports, banks and logistics hubs, it ensures fast, secure and intelligent transport of materials across complex layouts.

Linear Transfer Zone

Key Features
  • Linear Transfers are particularly suitable for small and medium- sized hospitals.
  • They offer a cost-effective solution for the efficient distribution of pneumatic tube consignments.
  • At lower transmission frequencies, they provide:
  • Fast overtaking of carriers.
  • Efficient buffering of consignments.
  • At higher transmission frequencies, Greenvac recommends:
  • Using autonomous emergency lines.
  • Direct connections between the laboratory, operating theatres and the intensive care unit.
  •  This ensures rapid delivery, as every second counts in an emergency.

Rotary Transfer Zone

Key Features
  • With ROTARY Transfer , Greenvac has developed the most powerful and innovative transfer zone for pneumatic tube consignments in large and medium-sized hospitals.
  • Compared to other transfer zone, the rotary transfer offers:
    •  Direct overtaking of prioritised emergency transports.
    •  Zero waiting times during transfer operations.
  •  It ensures faster and uninterrupted delivery, even during high-traffic system usage.
  •  Used for large facilities. This is fastest transfer zone system.

Auto Unload System

A further enhancement in pneumatic tube system is the auto unload system which is used for the lab wherein instead of the carriers only the samples drop out of the lab station.

  • Carriers unload samples automatically with in the station.
  • No manual handling.
  • Spread of infection is reduced drastically.
  • No bottlenecks and peak time in the lab.
  • Space saving.
  • Empty carriers are sent back automatically.
  • More flexibility.
  • Carriers are available to other users all the time.
  • No blocking of carriers at the lab.

Safe and Sealed
Safe and sealed transportation which also gives maximum leakage safety, protects the paramedic staff from cross contamination within the different areas of hospitals.
Secure
Effective, secure and impactless transportation through variable speeds by VFD.
Economic
Pneumatic tube transport provides various tangible and intangible economy benefits over the period of time.

Trend Setting Through R & D

Greenvac strongly believes in development of advanced solutions to improve the antiquated pneumatic tube system with the new features for higher efficiency and a better overall experience for the facilities and the users.
