Description
Specifications
Items of baggage are conveyed in trays, particularly in high-speed sections. These keep the baggage safe, decrease damage and enable much better tracking in the baggage handling system. The trays are positioned on the outside on two narrow, parallel conveyor belts. These drag band conveyor systems achieve speeds of up to 12 m/s.

Technical Requirements of the belts
The fast conveying speeds require durable undersides that operate smoothly. At the same time, the coating materials and patterns on the top face have to ensure conveying of empty and heavy baggage tubs without them slipping. Due to relatively long conveyors and heavy loads, the narrow conveyor belts are subjected to a lot of tensile stress.

Our Solution
Twin- or triple-ply belts with fabric undersides offer a combination of exceptional tensile strength and smooth operation. Coating materials with a high friction coefficient and longitudinal grooves (LG patterns) deliver the required grip. Belts with high-grip coatings (R coatings) have excel where exceptionally good grip is required.

Drag Band conveyor systems achieve speeds of up to 12 m/s.
