Check-in

Baggage is checked in and registered at the airport. The technical feasibility, the ergonomics for passengers and staff, the visual appeal and, of course, all safety-related aspects must be taken into account here.

Our two-part check-in consists of a weighing belt and an infeed belt. The piece of baggage is weighed on the weighing belt, labelled and then forwarded to the infeed belt. There the piece of baggage is then ready to be transferred to the collection belt.

With our three-part check-in, a label belt is inserted between the weighing belt and the transfer belt. After weighing, the piece of baggage is labelled on the label belt, then it is clocked onto the infeed belt, where it is ready to be inducted onto the collection belt. At the same time, the next piece of baggage is transported from the weighing belt to the label belt.

The infeed process onto the collection belt is carried out in the same way for two-part and three-part check-in. After the definition of ‘windows’ on the collection belt, the piece of baggage is automatically channelled into a free window after it has been made available.

There is a baggage handler at the end of the infeed belt so that the baggage is not transferred while standing on the collection belt and transported onward. The special positioning and shape provides the optimal level of baggage protection.

To improve accessibility for maintenance, the check-in can also be designed to be pulled out or hinged. The version with extendible slide has the advantage that maintenance of the units is very easy, as the complete unit including scales can be pulled out to the front and is thus accessible from all sides. Compared to the pull-out check-in, the folding check-in has the advantage that the passenger routes do not have to be changed in the event of maintenance.
