We keep your baggage logistics systems running

We support airports on their path to more sustainability and climate protection while also optimising costs. Our innovative drive solutions for belt and tray conveyors ensure reliable operation of baggage handling systems and enable a significant reduction of the energy requirements. You will benefit from significant CO2 savings and cost reductions in the airport logistics area.

Drive solutions for airport logistics

Climate-friendly air travel starts on the ground. The drive technology of baggage handling systems offers a particularly great potential for reducing the energy consumption and therefore for reducing CO2 emissions, as baggage handling systems often cover several kilometres and include a large number of drives.

Whether check-in, sorting, high-speed transport or baggage reclaim: As an important partner of the airport industry, we are highly familiar with the requirements of airport logistics and develop and manufacture scalable drive concepts for all baggage handling areas. With our NORD ECO service , we also support you in increasing optimisation and savings potential in the area of drive technology and in reducing your carbon footprint. NORD drives meet all current and future requirements and are used at national and international airports worldwide.

Specialised expertise in the area of airport logistics

In baggage handling, suitcases, bags and backpacks of varying weight must be transported over rather long distances at irregular intervals – ideally as fast and energy-saving as possible. This task is mainly performed by belt and tray conveyors.

With our specialised expertise and our wide range of products, we create drive solutions that are specifically designed for the various airport logistics applications – be it energy-efficient and overload-capable drives for belt and tray conveyors or drives with precise positioning and high dynamics for mergers and diverters, vertical switch points, lifters and sorters.

Efficient baggage logistics systems

Our drives offers you a high level of operational reliability, user-friendliness and efficiency. They operate very reliably, ensure particularly high conveying speeds and enable optimum energy consumption performance even in partial load and speed ranges. In addition, they are service- and maintenance-friendly, reduce standstill times and thus contribute to an increased efficiency and availability of your airport logistics.

Efficiency in continuous operation

Belt conveyors enable economical transport of large, bulky materials over long distances at high speeds.

Belt conveyors are often in continuous operation and therefore require drive solutions that are as energy efficient as possible. Based on our IE5+ synchronous motor and our patented DuoDrive geared motor, we implement future-proof drive concepts with optimised system efficiency, high power density and space-saving design. Our drive solutions for belt conveyors achieve their constantly high efficiency over a wide torque range, making it optimally suitable for economical operation in the partial load and speed range.

Drive technology for belt conveyors:

Excellent energy efficiency
Economical operation in the partial load and speed range
Synchronous motors without encoders

High-speed transport

Tray conveyors consist of two narrow belts on which the baggage items are transported in flat, rectangular containers – also known as trays or tubs. As they do not require a conveyor belt, they run more easily and achieve higher speeds than belt conveyors. Geared motors with brakes are therefore a must, as is energy-saving operation. Stand-alone motors are also often used.

Drive technology for tray conveyors:

High-efficiency drive systems
Geared motors with brake
Stand-alone motors without gear unit
