AC3000 Pneumatic Tube System

The AC3000's sending and receiving stations are the perfect solution for today's busy hospital environment. Their thru-station design allows Aerocom engineers to design a system using a minimum amount of tubing. Not only does this reduce system cost, but it also simplifies installation.

Maximum number of stations: 254 stations
Maximum number of zones: 32
Arrival signals per station: 16
Diverter: 2-way / 3-way / 4-way (for OD 110)
Operation mode: Fully automatic multi-zone-system -- reversing operation.

Single-zone Configuration

In this system, independent of the stage of operation, at any station a carrier can be stored. Once inserted into the station, a carrier will always be transported by the most direct route to its destination. After one sending process has been completed, the next carrier will start. All stations and diverter types can be used in one zone.

AC3000 System Example: Single-Zone System

Multi-zone Configuration

In contrast to the single zone system, the multi-zone system can be divided into various independent working zones. The AC3000 allows up to 64 zones. These zones are inter-connected by a transfer system. Inside this transfer area, the carriers are stored in so-called waiting lines. They continue on their route, when the receiving zone is free. Because each zone has an independent air supply, transmission can take place simultaneously. This will increase the performance of the system tremendously. In the configuration example below, up to 10 transmissions can occur simultaneously.
