Today, Air Link has over 20,000 systems installed worldwide in over 10 countries. Our familyowned and operated business is the number one choice for industrial/retail systems, and is rapidly becoming the leading source for the hospital/healthcare industry. Product Overview Air Link offers a system to meet your facilities requirements. From a simple point-to-point connecting two departments to a fully-automatic system integrating an entire network of stations. Air Link systems deliver the means necessary to safely transport specimens, medications and medical goods that are vital for quality patient care. Our systems offer security by transporting goods from one department to another, with no handling interruption once the carrier is sent. The fully-automatic system is designed to allow all stations to send and receive to and from each of the other stations. This is typically used when a larger number of interacting stations are needed (usually four or more). As an affordable option for facilities requiring high volume transfer, they can be easily expanded at any time. We offer a wide variety of stations to accommodate any size area. Key Benefits • Faster Delivery – at an average speed of 20 to 25 feet per second, carriers arrive at a fraction of the time it takes to hand deliver. • Secure Send – allows pharmacists to send prescriptions to nurses stations. Upon arrival a pin number is required to retrieve contents. • Monitor Transactions - displays all system transaction activity, including carrier progress, pending & recent transactions and system summaries. • Alert for Carrier Arrival – audible alert notifies nursing staff when a carrier has arrived. • Green – pneumatic devices consume less power to operate, reducing electrical requirements and consumption. • Pneumatically Driven Components – actuate in seconds, delivering carriers faster and improving system efficiency by 40%. • Low Cost Maintenance – using reliable parts and a simple design, our systems can be serviced in half the time of other manufacturers. • Non-Proprietary – 90% of components used are commercially available and non-proprietary. • Upgrade – your existing system, regardless of manufacturer.
