Pneumatic Waste Collection Systems are based on pneumatic underground pipes, which dramatically reduce waste collection traffic in the streets of urban areas. With pneumatic waste collection, it is possible to create a clean, pleasant and efficient environment with improved user satisfaction for residential houses, offices, hospitals and airports, just name a few. The systems are invisible, odourless and easy to use. Additionally, as the systems are fully automated, the operating costs are lower compared to the conventional waste collection methods.
A waste collection system consists of inlets, transport pipes and a waste collection station.
Users throw their waste into inlets. the inlets can be placed anywhere and are separated by waste type which allows effective recycling possibilities.
The waste is transported through the underground pipe system to the waste collection station, where the waste containers, the vacuum-generating unit and the control centre are located.
When a container is full, it is hauled away. Each waste type has a container of its own.
