Pneumatic Tube Transport
Pneumatic tube transport is a system that uses air pressure to move cylindrical containers through a network of tubes. This technology is commonly used in hospitals, banks, and large buildings to quickly send documents, small items, or samples from one location to another without the need for human transport.
The system consists of a series of tubes, a sending station, and a receiving station. When an item is placed in a container and sent through the tube, air pressure pushes it along the network. This method is efficient and reduces the time needed for deliveries, making it a valuable tool in various industries, including healthcare and finance.
