Airflow tube exhibit
Discover how airflow moves lightweight objects through clear tubes. Custom-built for science museums and school STEM spaces.
THE PRODUCT IN MOTION
See it work.
See the physical loading box, handwheel and transparent ductwork in this 18-second workshop demonstration. Compare the real build with the design views, then trace the route from loading to collection.
Video & text guideTHE ACTIVITY & MECHANISM
Moving air.
Visible science.
The blower creates a pressure difference that drives air through the connected tubes. Moving air pushes a suitable lightweight object along the route. Visitors trace its journey and connect airflow with visible motion.
- 01
Predict the journey
Locate the loading box, trace the clear tube route and predict where the object will be collected.
- 02
Load and operate
Use the supplied exhibit objects and follow the loading-box and handwheel sequence shown in the operating instructions.
- 03
Observe and explain
Follow the object through the tubes, find its collection point and explain how moving air produces its motion.
REFERENCE & PROJECT SCOPE

Customisation, installation & support
- 01Objects & operating sequence
- Define what is loaded, how it is released, where it is collected and the supervised visitor sequence.
- 02Frame & space
- Review the overall envelope, access around the frame, delivery route and installation clearances.
- 03Air system & service
- Agree the duct route, electrical supply, blower sound, inspection points and clearing and maintenance access.
BEFORE AN ENQUIRY
Questions & support.
24 months of complimentary spare-parts support, remote technical guidance and long-term after-sales support. Exhibit Engineers pays the shipping cost of complimentary spare parts during the 24-month support period.
Explore the supportDelivery, installation & after-sales terms
- Payment
- A 50% deposit is payable after the contract is signed. The remaining balance is paid after acceptance and before dispatch, so full payment is received before dispatch. Payment methods are agreed in the contract.
- Packaging & transport
- Metal shipping cases or multilayer wood-panel shipping cases. Transport arrangements and costs are agreed to suit the project.
- Materials & painted finish
- Common material options include Q235 steel, stainless steel, aluminium alloy, PVC, acrylic, engineering plastics. The combination is selected for each configuration. Marine anti-corrosion paint with a piano-gloss automotive paint finish. Applied to painted parts.
- Typical power · powered versions
- Standard products: 100–500 W; oversized installations: 1,000–5,000 W. Typical ranges for powered versions. Confirm the selected model and final connected load.
- Product maintenance
- Agree cleaning, control checks and inspection of accessible parts for the supplied configuration.
- Installation & training
- Complimentary training is available on site or remotely, according to project needs. If installation or on-site after-sales service is not included in the product price, the customer pays the actual travel expenses incurred, unless the contract provides otherwise.
- Factory acceptance & handover
- Mid-production and pre-dispatch checks are provided. Factory acceptance can take place in person at the factory or through acceptance videos. Installation and operating videos, written installation and operating instructions, drawings and a spare-parts list are provided.
- Complimentary parts
- 24 months of complimentary spare-parts support, starting when the exhibit is handed over for use. Covers faults not caused by the user. User-caused or deliberate damage is excluded. Exhibit Engineers pays the shipping cost of complimentary spare parts during the 24-month support period.
- Warranty & repair labour
- The whole-exhibit warranty period and repair labour scope and charges are agreed in the contract.
Can we discuss a prototype or sample for a custom version?
Yes. Prototype testing and sample fabrication are available for custom projects. Discuss which functions or features you need to review for your version. The scope, cost and schedule are agreed for the project.
How prototype testing & samples workWhat science does this pneumatic tube exhibit demonstrate?
It makes the action of moving air visible. The blower creates airflow through a connected duct system; the air exerts a force on suitable lightweight objects. Visitors can trace a route, predict the collection point and connect airflow with motion.
How is it different from a vertical wind tube?
This exhibit carries objects through a connected tube network toward collection bins. A vertical wind tube typically explores objects rising or floating in an upward air stream. They support different activities and can complement each other in an air-science gallery.
Can we customise it for a school or museum?
Yes. Start with the 2,200 × 550 × 2,200 mm reference envelope, then discuss the room plan, loading positions, tube route, colours and interpretation language. Object choice, visitor age, supervision and service access are agreed for the supplied configuration. Single-unit custom orders are welcome.
Does the 3D rendering show the final manufactured route?
The design images illustrate appearance and operating positions. The manufactured tube connections and operating sequence follow the agreed project drawings. The gallery also includes a physical workshop photograph, and the video shows a real operating reference.
