PNEUMATIC TUBE SYSTEMS FOR INDUSTRY & MANUFACTURING
8Pages

In the 19th century during the industrial revolution the first designs for conveyance systems were developed to cover the great distances which small or precious components required repetitive manual transportation from a secure storage area to the delivery point. This concept was especially relevant for the post offices and many distribution depots across the world had extensive underground pneumatic tube delivery services crossing entire cites such as London, Paris, New York, and Berlin. It soon became apparent that rails and tracks congested the factory floor and if raised the climbing and decent could throw the package off the rails, Pneumatic Tube Systems with contained capsules, solved these issues, with tubes routed at high level the air propelled systems soon gained worldwide popularity. Many early pneumatic tube systems are still used in industry to this day. In today's modern production lines robotic automation may well have covered much of the ground formerly tread in the manufacturing process, but there are still many hours wasted by humans simply walking back and forward over any distance to deliver or collect small articles or paperwork.

The profitability of a pneumatic tube system can be pre-calculated as follows: (R x T) 60 Where; R = Route (how often) T = Time spent on-route in minutes 60 = Conversion factor from minutes to hours Example: If a person must walk 500m from A to B 50 times a day, at a walking speed of 5km/h, we can calculate the cost if the wage to employ somebody to make this repetitive journey is £25 p/h. R=50 T=12m (there & back) 10 hours per day = £250 5 working days per week = £1,250 250 working days per year = £62,500 The installation cost of a pneumatic tube point to point system would justify the...
