Emergency sendings via pneumatic tube systems

PowerTransfer

With PowerTransfer, Sumetzberger has developed the most powerful and innovative Transfer unit for pneumatic tube system consignments in large and medium-sized hospitals. This special pneumatic tube solution is unique worldwide in performance and speed and compared to conventional transfer units, the PowerTransfer enables a direct overtaking option for prioritised emergency transports, without waiting times.

Thanks to core storage and the patented AutoLoad and AutoUnload cores from Sumetzberger, it is possible to completely dispense with manual core handling and storage at the AutoUnload station. This not only enables efficiency, but also guarantees 100% infection and cross-contamination protection for closed hospital sections.  

PowerTransfer connects all lines and ensures that often only a few moments pass before a shipment reaches its destination. Depending on the size and transmission frequency of the hospitals, several PowerTransfers combine to ensure fast and direct transport in an emergency.

LinearTransfer

Sumetzberger LinearTransfers are characterised by the highest quality in processing, durable materials and long service life. They are particularly compact and powerful and are a standard solution in the distribution of pneumatic tube consignments, in line with market requirements.

LinearTransfers are particularly suitable for small and medium-sized hospitals, offering a cost-effective solution for the efficient distribution of pneumatic tube consignments. At lower transmission frequencies, it offers a fast and efficient overtaking and buffering solution. For higher transmission frequencies, Sumetzberger also recommends autonomous emergency lines, directly connecting the laboratory with operating theatres and the intensive care unit, because every second matters in an emergency.

Diverter transfer unit

Diverter transfer units are particularly popular in smaller hospitals or those with a low transaction frequency, restricting the installation of a LinearTransfer or power transfer. The Sumetzberger diverter transfer unit, adapts flexibly to local conditions and taking into account the structural conditions is fast, cost-efficient and easily expandable.

Thanks to simple technology, highest quality workmanship and the use of durable materials, it is one of the maintenance-free distribution solutions that Sumetzberger has to offer. Like the LinearTransfer, a turnout crossing with a low transmission frequency offers overtaking possibilities and intermediate storage solutions. However, autonomous emergency lines can connect the laboratory directly with the operating theatre and intensive care units - because every second matters in an emergency.
