Whether at the bag drop, check-in, or baggage claim, conveyors speed up processes at airports, especially conveyors with a low overall height. They relieve the burden on passengers and offer comfort, as the bags don’t need to be lifted as high. Conveyors with a low overall height are reasonably scarce on the market. Montech AG’s TB40 conveyor fulfills precisely this requirement.
The tasks involved in airport operation are many and varied. One of the most important priorities is a fast and efficient check-in process. In this respect, airport operators repeatedly encounter a problem: Traditional high check-in stations slow down the process and are often cumbersome for travelers. Montech AG has recognized this problem. Because this Swiss technology company specializes in the industrialization and standardization of state-of-the-art, versatile conveyors, transfer systems, and innovative aluminum framing systems, it has also developed a solution for this need: the TB40 conveyor.
Low-height TB40 conveyor for the check-in process
The TB40 conveyor distinguishes itself thanks to its remarkably low height, which makes it significantly different from other conveyors on the market. This feature is critical for airport check-in, as it provides significant relief and greater comfort for travelers. With a lower baggage conveyor for the bag drop, passengers don’t have to lift their heavy bags so high onto the scales. In addition, this practical solution helps to speed up the check-in process and streamline the work process. For airport operators, this pays off twice over: They benefit from the advantages of this innovative conveyor while increasing their passengers’ satisfaction.
Compact, strong, no interfering contours
The TB40 conveyor features a compact design with no lateral contours that get in the way. This allows the entire check-in unit to be designed to save space, which is invaluable in the hectic surroundings of an airport. The TB40 conveyor’s 24 VDC motor enables the transport of luggage weighing up to 200 kg and it complies with low-voltage guidelines. That’s a major advantage for system engineers, as no additional protection against contact is required for DC voltages of 24 V. These voltages are considered safe for adults, children, and animals. Therefore, it is no problem to comply with the different country-specific regulations for creating the system certificate and declaration of conformity.
Increased efficiency and greater passenger comfort at the airport
Overall, the TB40 conveyor is a groundbreaking product for airport operations, one that increases efficiency and passenger comfort. It shows how innovation in conveyor technology can help overcome the challenges of hectic airport operations and provide a pleasant experience for travelers. With the TB40, airports can take their operations to a new level while meeting the ever-increasing demands of aviation.
