Application: Manufacturing
Aerocom's pneumatic systems are enhancing the operational efficiency for everything from steel mills to automotive manufacturing. Aerocom UK can move almost anything from parts to paperwork. If your operation has redundant tasks involving routine foot traffic, odds are Aerocom has a system that will save you time and provide quick return on investment. More importantly, it will also improve your overall operational and manufacturing processes.
Versatility is the key! A single system can be used to quickly carry work orders from the production office to the plant floor. Once production begins, the system can expedite product samples to Quality Assurance labs for testing. Small parts and raw materials can be moved to and from various assembly areas. And finally, the completed work orders can be on their way to the administrative offices for processing. A single Aerocom tube system can streamline the entire process; from order entry to invoicing.
With the most flexible product line in the industry, Aerocom engineers can customise a system to meet nearly any requirement.
- Choose the economical AC2U point-to-point systems when the need is to connect only two stations.
- The AC50 is the economical choice for connecting 3 stations up to 10 stations. It allows any station on the system to send and receive to any other station on the system.
- The AC24M is the perfect choice when the need is to transport items from multiple sub-stations to a central location such as a Quality Control Lab.
- The AC3000 system offers enhanced operating features when the need is for a greater number than 10 stations or when automatic dispatching and receiving of carriers is a factor.
Size and weight are rarely a problem. Aerocom pneumatic systems come in a range of diameters with the most common being 63mm ~ 110mm ~ 160mm with 200mm and even 300mm available if required. Whatever the need, Aerocom has the answer.

Application: Retail (Cash Transport)
Aerocom UK is the leader in the transport of Cash/Coin in the retail sector by matching customer need to our diverse product line. Our line of pneumatic transport systems allow retail customers to reduce their exposure to theft by replacing human transport with pneumatic transport. By utilising air to move cash/coin, retailers can not only decrease the risk of internal or external theft, but also dramatically reduce the amount of labour needed for keeping registers stocked.
Our AC24M system is designed for retailers that have multiple Checkout locations and want to efficiently move cash/coin. The system is designed to connect a central location (vault or count room) to as many as 61 substations (Checkouts). The system design allows only the transfer between the master station and specified substations. Substations are not able to send to each other. The system provides a detailed audit trail which can be printed showing every transaction with date/time stamp.
The AC2U is our point-to-point system that is designed to connect only two locations. This system provides efficient and secure transport of cash/coin. This system also offers an audit trail via a printer.
For the UK market we also have a budget "Safe-linK" system for smaller retail outlets and even the good old British corner shop. The safe is usually placed in a secure area of the building with a concealed send tube close to the till, when a single assistant needs to get an influx of cash into the security of the safe they simply send the money in a carrier directly into the safe without leaving their post. Leasing is also an option for the smaller business user, please contact us for advice.
The most effective systems used in the Retail market are the AC24M and the AC2U. Please click on the links above to learn more about how these systems can help you, or feel free to phone our Sales Department at 0115 946 3515. You can also click here for contact information.
Application: Transportation
In the fast paced world of Transportation, time is of the essence. With the use of a pneumatic transport system, transportation terminals can effectively move necessary paperwork throughout the terminal. Whether it is from an outside Security Hut, LTL Office or Dock Office, a pneumatic transport system can speed up efficiency and minimise waiting time for drivers and loaders.
The AC50 system is ideal when you need to have up to ten locations with the ability to send to one another, but still consolidate the locations onto a single system. This consolidation into a single system is extremely efficient and is also very cost conscious.
Smaller Terminals have also employed the AC2U system when they choose to connect only two points. The AC2U is highly effective and reliable for customers who do not see expansion in the near future.
Both the AC50 and AC2U are available for underground installations to connect terminal buildings to remote guard shacks. The systems also come in a variety of sizes, ranging from 110mm up to 200mm.
The most effective systems used in the Transportation market are the AC50 and the AC2U. Please click on the links above to learn more about how these systems can help you, or feel free to phone our Sales Department at 0115 946 3515. You can also click here for contact information.

Application: Government Buildings (including Courthouses, Prisons, Detention Centers)
Government buildings and courthouses are environments ideally suited for an Aerocom pneumatic tube system. Typically they are multiple floor facilities with a network of corresponding offices and departments. Lifts and increased security make the manual transfer of documents, records, and materials even more difficult. An Aerocom tube system can reduce a typical task taking 10 minutes, to a few seconds. Not only does this make better use of employee time, it also eliminates the tendency to stack things up to reduce the number of trips. Ultimately, this creates better overall operational efficiency as paperwork and files move more fluidly between departments.
The types of records, files and materials circulated within these buildings are often fairly large. It is common to see systems of 110mm, or even 300mm. Government agencies often find that with these larger systems, their use of the system extends further their original intent. This provides benefits and justification beyond those used when considering the installation of a pneumatic tube system.
Security is priority one in today's prisons and court houses. Moving documents and records through these facilities has always been challenging because access authorisation must be granted; doors must be unlocked and re-locked with each transfer between different cell blocks and buildings. An Aerocom tube system eliminates this problem. Aerocom carriers travel freely throughout the facility by circumventing tricky access points. With a properly designed system even keys can be transported to and from infinite points within secure facilities.
Prisons, Courts, Administrative buildings, or any other government building, Aerocom has a solution. The reliable AC2U, with its microprocessor controlled self-diagnostics handles the simple point-to-point applications. For multi-point requirements, Aerocom offers the economical AC24M and AC50. The computer controlled AC3000 provides the ultimate in control, security, and multi-station connectivity. Each system is available in a variety of sizes to handle whatever you need to transport.
Whether the goal is increased efficiency, improved security, reduced staffing, or better work flow, an Aerocom air tube system is not an either/or solution. With a product line as flexible as Aerocom's, you can have it all.
