What is Pneumatic System?
• A system that uses compressed air as a working
medium for transmission is known as pneumatic
system.

What is Pneumatic Tube System?
• A Pneumatic Tube System (PTS) is a system in
which carriers are sent through a network of tubes by
compressed air or by vacuum.

Why PTS?
• Pneumatic tube system has a speed of 6 - 8 m/s
• Saves time
• Allows your staff to concentrate on more important
work

1. Point to Point System
Simple A-B
connection
Bi-directional
![Page 8: Pneumatic Tube System](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081721/5a649ebb7f8b9a52568b4e4d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
2. Semi Automatic System
• Main station
receives and
delivers to multiple
stations
• Remote stations
are configured to
only send directly
to the main station

3. Fully Automatic System
• Allows any station
to send and
receive from any
station

Components1. Blower
• The driving force of pneumatic tubesystem is a blower.
• Due to the air flow the carrier willstart to move in the transport tube.
2. Carrier
• Carriers are the containers that hold materials and goods as they move through a tube system.
• Size of the carrier is 15cm diameterand 20-30 cm long.

Components3. 3-way diverter
• Diverters act as a switching station
that allows a carrier to travel to its
destination in the most direct path set
up by the diverters.
4. Tube
• The carriers move through especially
fabricated gray plastic pipe.

Components5. Arrival Signal
• Diverters act as a switching station
that allows a carrier to travel to its
destination in the most direct path set
up by the diverters.
6. Control Station
• The area where the carriers are
exchanged.

Structure of PTS
![Page 15: Pneumatic Tube System](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081721/5a649ebb7f8b9a52568b4e4d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Working
• We take the transport process from Station 3 to Station 2 as example.
• Firstly, the carrier enters into the tube system through the station 5.
• Then Diverter 1 is set at the left branch and Blower unit 1 generates suction by partial vacuum. Soon the carrier arrives in point A.
• Diverter 1 turns to the middle branch and Blower unit 1 produces compressed air to pull the carrier to point B.
• The carrier gets into Top slot 1 of transfer center by gravity and then falls into the car, which can move between the bottom slots back and forth.
• With the help of the car, the carrier arrives at point D.
• Blower unit 2 produces compressed air to push the carrier to station 2.

Advantages
• Decreased material delivery time.
• Carriers are transported at speed of 6-8 m/s.
• Can transport up to 3-7kg material.
• Less prone to human error.
• Lesser staff requirement.
• Reduced maintenance cost.

Disadvantages
• Heat is generated due to friction
• Bends in system cause deceleration
• Noise is generated

Applications
• In hospitals, for transporting test tubes or tissue jars,
medicines and blood products
• In banks for the purchase and removal of cash and
valuable
• In industries for sending raw materials
• In post offices for sending letters

Conclusion
• The pneumatic tube system is logistics
transportation system
• This system uses pneumatics as power, which is
controlled by computer
• This system could implement the task to carry goods
between systems or within system
