Maximising Baggage Hall Space Efficiency At Minimal Cost
BEUMER Group’s tilt-tray loop sorter for airports is a specially designed, high-speed baggage sortation system to handle baggage items of various shapes and sizes. The design has proven to increase operational throughput without taking up precious floor space in the baggage hall and this extra capacity may be sufficient to cope with baggage forecasts for increased passenger numbers without having to make a major investment in a new terminal building.
In projects where a new building is still required, the system design will still ensure that every possible bit of building space is used to its full potential.
Equipped with an energy-efficient linear synchronous motor (LSM), the tilt-tray loop sortation system reduces the overall system’s product life cycle cost (PLCC) substantially without sacrificing speed, baggage handling capacity, and reliability.
The extra operational advantage of applying the LSM motor to this type of high-speed BHS is that it eliminates contact between moving parts, resulting in minimal levels of wear and tear and features an ultra-low noise level in the baggage hall.
