pneumatic tube
A pneumatic tube system is a transportation method that uses pressurized air to quickly move cylindrical containers, or carriers, through a network of tubes. This technology is commonly used in hospitals, banks, and offices to rapidly send documents, small goods, or samples between locations without needing manual handling or vehicles. The carriers are loaded with the items, sealed, and then propelled by airflow through the tube network to their destination. The system ensures fast, efficient, and secure transfer of many small items within a confined space, reducing delivery time and increasing convenience.
