The system H61 uses ultra-modern technology to accommodate different requirements of in-house logistics. Various hospitals and companies use our H61 because it fits their needs perfectly. Our Universal Pneumatic Tube System is suitable wherever more complex logistics problems must be solved.
In contrast to our smaller 2-Point System H21, the system is computer controlled. This enables various additional features. We offer a range of smart additions in conjunction with our RFID-carriers – for instance the automated management of empty carriers or the priority sending of especially important goods.
The Smart System H61 can be used for up to 255 zones and 32.000 stations with diverters and passage methods. Our newly developed transfer method using a space-saving 16-fold turret enables significant shorter transport times than conventional transfer systems.
A variety of different stations can be mixed to match your needs. In the latest version, the stations are equipped with a 10″ touch screen as control and display panel.

Software controlled pneumatic tube system – in system H61
- Demand-oriented services
- Prevent costly consequential damage
- Fewer malfunctions
- Higher system availability
- Identify and resolve irregularities
- Improve processes
- Optimize system design
- Closed-loop tracking of materials such as medication and samples
- Digital real-time control of all steps of the transport process

The Universal Pneumatic Tube System H61 can be optionally equipped with Arrive and/or Departure Screens. On the screens, your employees immediately see detailed information about the transport after entering a carrier:
- Time of carrier entry
- Input station
- Contents of the pneumatic tube container
- Time of carrier departure
- Arrival time
Your employees thus have an overview of all open, ongoing and completed transports directly at their workstations at all times.

Safe Send with Pneumatic Tube Transport
It is often useful to protect the pneumatic tube stations from improper access.
Therefore, if required, our pneumatic tube stations can be equipped with a MiFare reader. In addition to this, we have pneumatic tube stations that have been designed especially for the secure arrival of pneumatic tube mail items.
- Secure sending and receiving
- Complete tracking of shipments
- Faster and at the same time secure operation
