The challenge of summer operations: Why airports need reliable conveyor technology right now
Summer is high season at airports. As the number of passengers increases, so do the demands on infrastructure, especially conveyor technology. If the belt conveyor stops at the self-service bag drop or in security, this has immediate and far-reaching consequences. With its reliable conveyor systems, Montech offers an ideal solution for airports’ peak summer operations.
Montech faces summer’s challenges with sophisticated technology and a deep understanding of the complex requirements of airport logistics. This Swiss company has specialized in the industrialization and standardization of state-of-the-art, unusual belt conveyors, transfer systems, and innovative aluminum framing systems for over 60 years. With the TB40 belt conveyor and RB40 roller conveyor, baggage and security processes at the airport can be designed so they are smooth, robust, and space-efficient – a crucial prerequisite for stable processes at peak times.
No room for delays
Self-service bag drop systems are becoming increasingly important, especially during the summer holidays, when thousands of travelers arrive at the airport at the same time. The challenge: Conveyor technology must remain stable and work perfectly under continuous loads. Montech’s TB40 belt conveyor is ideal for this. With its remarkably low construction height of just 80 mm, it makes it easier for passengers to check their luggage; there’s less lifting and faster processing. Thanks to its compact design with no contours that get in the way, this belt conveyor fits perfectly into existing systems and makes particularly effective use of existing space. Its powerful 24 V motor transports bags up to 200 kg – and it’s safe, energy-efficient, and requires little maintenance.
In summer, every second counts – including during security screening
If there are delays in security screening, lines get long very quickly – a nightmare in high season. Here, too, the TB40 belt conveyor wins people over with its modular adaptability. It can be integrated seamlessly into existing detection systems, and it guarantees quiet, continuous transport of baggage. When combined with the RB40 roller conveyor, bags are also fed in and out smoothly and efficiently. The RB40 roller conveyor is height-adjustable, robust, and very easy to operate, making it ideal for rapid switching between different operating situations.
Efficiency, security, and comfort – even under peak loads
Whether for self-service bag drop or security screening, reliability at the airport is paramount, especially in summer. Montech’s systems improve process reliability, increase passenger comfort, and ensure that there are no bottlenecks even at peak times. Airports that rely on Montech are optimally equipped for the challenges of peak season travel – and they offer their guests a relaxed and smooth airport experience, even in summer.
