PTS - Pneumatic Tube Systems in German Hospitals
Pneumatic tube systems are basic inventory in German hospitals with more than 200 beds. Because they are the best solution when long distances need to be covered and when seconds count, for example during surgery, when a blood product or a sample result is needed urgently.
Main transport goods are:
Blood / Blood plasma
tissue sample (instantaneous section)
specimen
urine samples
medication
pharmaceutical
when speed is crucial, hospital tube system (PTS)
transport items fast, safe and shock-free.

PTS: Software Control
The key of a successful system is the control software, to accommodate the specific transfer needs of hospitals
Advantages overview:
Powerful functions for all your needs
Highest safety standards
Efficient and flexible scheduling
Real time visualization
Remote monitoring, control and maintenance possible
Permanent analysis and evaluation for optimization

PTS: Carriers

PTS: Carriers …safely from A to B
Carriers are the centerpiece of our pneumatic tube systems. They ensure safe and secure transport of valuable samples or other goods. The perfect carrier for each individual requirement:
01.04.2019
Flip Cap Carrier
for optimal filling possibility in standing position.
Sliding Lid Carrier
quick handling in everyday work by the automatic lock.
Swing Top Carrier
easily opened and closed with the convenient finger recess at the lid.

PTS: Carriers with RFID transponder
All carriers can also be equipped with transponders (either glass or wedge versions) as an option and this makes a huge difference. Because a carrier with transponders can transport a wide variety of information - for absolute complete and secure logging.
01.04.2019
The hidden RFID transponders are recognized and read from all Sending and Arrival Stations. Every carrier has an individual transponder-ID and therefore we can generate a 100% accurate protocol and track and trace all transports.

What is AWLS ?
01.04.2019
Automatic Waste and Laundry system is an automatic solution to manage the waste and laundry bags from different points to collection points e.g. waste container or laundry
HYGIENIC: no storage of waste bags on corridors or common areas
less transportation of dirty bags in elevators and therefore less usage of elevators
Comfortable, easy and silent: easy, useful, fewer trolleys in corridors
Efficient & fast: Improves the logistic of the building with a capacity of more than 2500kg /h.
100% automatic: 24/7/365

The General System Types:
FREE FALL (FF)
PNEUMATIC SYSTEMS (PS)
The most used diameters:
NW400 (400mm)
NW500 (500mm)
