The challenge
Modern, reliable and fully automated self-check-in handling systems in airports or train stations can handle many travelers with diverse luggage types quickly and efficiently.
The luggage is weighed in an initial step, and then it must be channeled quickly and accurately by the self-check-in station into the airport’s automatic luggage handling process behind the station and transferred for further handling.
The solution
The
belt conveyor model TB40 with a high-power-density 24V DC motor directly integrated into the drive roller proved to be the ideal solution for these special requirements. We designed the belt conveyor in two-line sections. In the first one, the belt conveyor in the structure of the scale. As soon as each item of luggage is weighed correctly and registered in the system, it is transferred to the second line section. From this point, each item of luggage is transferred using a release signal to the fully automated luggage handling process located behind the conveyor lines. For both line sections, we use special flame retardant, low-noise and highly durable belt conveyors. This enables us to meet the airport standards for compliance with personal safety and fire safety regulations. Simple, fast, and convenient, the self check-in process at the airport is enhanced with the use of the TB40 belt conveyor, providing seamless integration of weighing and transfer functionalities. With its space efficiency, flexibility, and intelligent drive control, it ensures a reliable and efficient handling of luggage, meeting the high standards of modern, automated self-check-in systems in airports.
