Overview

Steel mills, foundries and other types of processing plants operate in an extremely harsh environment. Pneumatic tube systems servicing these industries are required to function reliably and safely under the most difficult conditions. Our Extreme Service product line offers the highest level of durability and performance. Metal samples can be transported to a lab over distances exceeding a mile in less than three minutes. The terminals are heavy duty steel with cam handle latches and air-operated door locks for the ultimate in operator safety and product reliability. Positive displacement power units properly selected by Colombo engineers will ensure that the system will perform beyond expectations, eliminating costly downtime. The Extreme Service Systems by Colombo are designed to be bullet-proof.

The Colombo Heavy Duty Systems are designed to function in an industrial environment such as a foundry or manufacturing plant, where standard equipment with plastic doors and conventional door latches, buttons and lights are unsuitable. Heavy Duty Systems utilize freestanding terminals with steel plate doors, specialized draw latches and NEMA 12 buttons and lights. Regenerative power units provide long and dependable service in an industrial setting.
