Airport Baggage and Cargo Handling Systems

Reliable, Durable Baggage Handling Systems

For more than 50 years, Portec has delivered the most durable and reliable baggage and cargo handling systems to airports around the world. Portec has built a reputation for rugged dependability with more than 72,000 units in the field. More than 550 airports, including many of the largest, use Portec’s Belt Power Curves, Spiral Curves and Chutes.

Portec uses a “loose-belt” technology that greatly increases the life expectancy of the conveyor belts and end roll components. The design runs quietly – independently certified to meet or exceed required noise level criteria. Belt tension and continual adjustments are not required when environmental conditions change, unlike temperamental friction belt conveyors. Portec conveyors will work in the cold or heat and humidity without fail.

 “It’s Your Turn” means Portec manufactures the equipment you need. Units are built to meet the special requirements of your applications, available in arcs from 5 to 350 degrees with many special options. We fit your curve to your business.

Additionally, Portec is a global manufacturer of specialty conveyor solutions including: Spiral Chutes, Angle-Flo Merges, queuing conveyors, gap conveyors, large belt merge conveyors and Power Faced Diverters. Portec's conveying solutions are used in airport baggage handling systems and mail/parcel handling systems around the world.

Portec Spiral Curves Lift and Turn Your Baggage

Portec Spiral Curves offer a unique design that accomplishes both elevation and direction differentials with a single unit.

The positive-drive, loose-belt system is designed for reliable operation in heavy-duty applications, such as: continuous high speeds, high cycling, heavy loads and steep inclines.

Portec Spiral Curves are not affected by sudden load changes on the belt, temperature variations, contamination on/under the belt, incorrect belt tension or high cycling operations that can often damage friction-driven belt conveyors. 

Portec equipment is the perfect solution for any critical conveying line.

ChuteMaster Fiberglass Spiral Chute

Portec's ChuteMaster® fiberglass spiral chute is the solution for transporting baggage and cargo from upper levels to main conveying areas without drives or controls.

Portec uses the highest quality hand-laid fiberglass process to deliver a solution not impacted by changes in environment, such as heat and humidity.

The surface coating is extremely durable and assists products to flow freely, gently and safely. Standard 90° chute components are available in several diameters.

Specially designed round-bottom profiles help control the descending speed of the baggage and cargo.

With the optional multi-entry modules, a Portec ChuteMaster® is a convenient and economical option for moving baggage and cargo.
