Q. Does your pneumatic tube system perform well?
If not, then we have the answer
Of all the specialist companies in the UK, Aerocom are by far the most popular choice to replace poorly performing pneumatic tube systems. Aerocom regularly demolish and upgrade other manufacturers systems, providing quality installations, aftercare, and support. And we do this mostly for hospitals who are dissatisfied with their current supplier. Our call centre receives enquiries weekly from sites who are looking for a reliable alternative to their existing air tube system.
Aerocom (UK) Ltd have major pneumatic tube systems installed in over 100 British hospitals, of which at least 30% are replacements of other manufacturers systems, which were either old, unreliable or unsupported. In comparison, of the many aerocom systems installed in the late 90’s and early millennium, almost every NHS client has had their old system replaced with an updated version of the same aerocom model.
The most common complaints from hospitals are:
- The pneumatic tube system is always breaking down
- The reaction time for urgent maintenance visits is too long
- The suppliers helpline support is non existent
- Even when a suppliers technician arrives on site, the problem recurs in a few hours
- Spare parts are not readily available
- The control system is old, difficult to use and in a foreign language
It would be unfair to say we don’t have helpline calls about our aerocom pneumatic tube systems, we do.
Most problems with pneumatic tube systems are usually due to the human interface, user errors like not emptying receiving baskets, consequently blocking stations discharging arriving carriers, or send faults due to not loading the pods correctly. The difference with aerocom is, we listen, and quickly react to keep our systems running smoothly.
Whatever the reason is for the call, we don’t let our customers down.
Most trivial problems can be solved by a brief chat with our on call technician.
