BELTCON delivers baggage carousels fast and custom-fit for tight spaces, tight timelines, and complex airport realities.

From a passenger’s perspective, the baggage carousel is the final act of the journey. For airport decision makers, it’s often one of the most complex and pressure-laden components to upgrade – especially within legacy infrastructure.

Whether it’s a retrofit in a busy terminal or an upgrade to meet new flow demands, the baggage carousel isn’t just a belt, it’s a bottleneck or a smooth handoff. At BELTCON, we help you make it the latter.

 

The Carousel Challenge

Upgrading or installing baggage carousels presents a unique set of requirements:

  • Tight spaces and legacy layouts in older terminals limit system design flexibility.
  • Operational continuity must be maintained—even during installation.
  • Stakeholder coordination across airport ops, airlines, engineers, and contractors is critical.
  • System downtime risks can result in lost baggage, passenger dissatisfaction, and reputational damage.
  • High cost of delay: Retrofit projects can cost more than new builds, and any outage directly impacts the bottom line.

 

BELTCON’s Edge: Speed and Simplicity

Our carousels are designed for rapid deployment and low-disruption installs—ideal for high-stakes environments where timing and adaptability matter most:

  • Fast delivery from our in-house manufacturing.
  • Tailored dimensions and layouts
  • Custom fit for tight corners or irregular spaces.
  • Minimal downtime during installation, even in active terminals.
  • Low-noise, modular construction for 24/7 reclaim operations.
  • Reverse-ready logic for faster error recovery.

We work as a partner—not just a supplier—offering real planning support and flexibility to accommodate site constraints and stakeholder needs.

 

Trusted Integration with Proven Technology

We collaborate closely with trusted industry partners to ensure every carousel integrates seamlessly into broader airport systems. From precision belting by Ammeraal Beltech, to dependable drive technology from NORD Drivesystems, to safety and detection solutions from SICK Sensor Intelligence, and system logic powered by PSI Software – each element is chosen for quality, compatibility, and long-term performance. These partnerships allow us to deliver not just equipment, but well-synchronized systems tailored to the realities of modern airport operations.

 

Built for Retrofit Realities

We know that retrofitting baggage reclaim areas is rarely straightforward. That’s why BELTCON’s carousels are built for flexibility not just in design, but in delivery.

Our systems are engineered to be installed in tight windows, often during off-hours or between peaks, with minimal need for structural adjustment. This reduces downtime, operational risk, and cost escalation.
