Carrier models

TranspoNet Carriers' Velcro® bands are durable and provide stability while the carriers are in transit. All of our impact-resistant, break-proof carriers are designed with a transparent body so you will be able to see the contents at first glance.

Standard Carrier

This robust pneumatic tube carrier offers a long lifecycle and low replacement costs. It is available in several lengths and diameters:

  • 100 mm
  • 110 mm
  • 124 mm
  • 160 mm

SmartOpen Carriers

Automated loading and unloading increases productivity and accelerates workflows for high-volume hospitals. The lids of the SmartOpen carriers are designed to facilitate: 

  • automated unloading with the TranspoNet OpenLog Station.
  • automated loading with the interface module of a pneumatic tube system and a pharmacy automation solution.

LeakResistant Carriers

LeakResistant carriers can help prevent accidental spills from carrier which could result in potential spread of pathogens from blood samples and other biohazards within the pneumatic tube system.

  • Protects the PTS from accidental spills and spread of pathogens
  • Ergonomic design with integrated handles
  • For 160 mm tube systems

Optional carrier features

RFID

Each carrier is equipped with an RFID transponder to enable full traceability. 

Color caps

Visually identifying arriving carriers by department, material, or sender to further enhance your workflow. 

Loading dimensions

Customize the length of your carriers, taking into account your unique transport requirements and the configuration of your pneumatic tube system.

Protective materials

Protect contents and prevent breakage by stabilizing contents with special engineered protective materials like foil pockets - which keeps documents dry and wrinkle-free.

Q&A

Which material are the pneumatic tube carriers made of?

To ensure long-term durability, the TranspoNet pneumatic tube carriers are made of strong polycarbonate.

How are pneumatic tube carriers cleaned?

Bacteria often survive on surfaces for a long period of time; pneumatic tube carriers are no exception. We recommend cleaning the carriers regularly to avoid contamination. The carriers can either be hand-wiped inside and out with a suitable disinfectant or conveniently cleaned in an industrial dishwasher.

How long can a pneumatic tube carrier be used?

The service life of a pneumatic tube carrier depends, of course, to a large extent on the frequency of use and the number of kilometers traveled. As a general rule, check pneumatic tube carriers regularly and replace them if necessary. During this check, pay particular attention to functioning closure mechanisms and intact Velcro straps. Cracks in the transparent body and damaged sealing rings also indicate signs of wear.

Are there any pneumatic tube carriers with additional leakage protection?

The LeakResistant carrier is equipped with a special closing mechanism, including a seal, which reduces the leakage of spilled liquids. If transported liquids, for example blood, break during transport, the LeakResistant carrier provides additional leakage protection. This prevents contamination from entering the pneumatic tube system and its components.
