Pneumatic Tube System Components

Pneumatic tube systems are comprised of many components that work together to support hospital operations. Without careful planning, construction, or maintenance, tube systems can malfunction bringing things to a costly halt. That's why TransLogic uses the best engineered components, to design, build, and repair its pneumatic tube systems.

Carriers & Carrier Storage

Carriers are the transport vehicles of the pneumatic tube system, but not all carriers are the same — learn more here.

Stations

Stations are where users interact with the pneumatic tube system. Here, users input commands using touch screens and/or receive payloads from other areas of the hospital. Explore Station options.

Blowers

Blowers are carefully controlled mechanisms that forcefully move air through tubes. That air enacts forces on carriers, allowing them to travel up to 5 times faster than a human courier. For Blower options, contact your local TransLogic representative.

Transfer Units

Transfer Units (TUs) allow carriers to switch from one network of tubes to another. Think of them like railroad switches only much faster. For Transfer Unit options contact your local TransLogic representative.
