We keep your luggage logistics running

We support airports on their way to greater sustainability and climate protection while optimising costs at the same time. Our innovative drive solutions for belt and tray conveyors guarantee reliable operation of baggage handling systems and ensure a significant reduction in energy requirements. You benefit from considerable CO2 savings and cost reductions in airport logistics.

Drive solutions for airport logistics

Climate-friendly air travel starts on the ground. The drive technology of baggage handling systems in particular offers great potential for reducing energy consumption and thus lowering CO2 emissions, as baggage handling systems often extend over several kilometres and have a large number of drives.

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

Specialised know-how in airport logistics

In baggage handling, suitcases, bags and rucksacks of different weights have to be transported in irregular succession, usually over long distances - and as quickly and energy-efficiently as possible. Belt conveyors and tray conveyors usually perform this task.

With our specialised expertise and our broad product range, we create drive solutions that are specifically designed for the various applications in airport logistics - be it energy-efficient and overload-capable drives for belt and tray conveyors or positioning-accurate and highly dynamic drives for infeed/outfeed conveyors, vertical diverters, lifters and sorters.

Efficient baggage logistics

Our drives offer you a high degree of operational safety, user-friendliness and efficiency. They work extremely reliably, guarantee particularly high transport speeds and enable optimum energy consumption performance even in partial load and partial speed ranges. They are also easy to service and maintain, reduce downtimes and therefore contribute to greater efficiency and availability of your airport logistics.

Efficiency in continuous operation

Belt conveyors enable the economical transport of large, bulky goods 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 a space-saving design. Our drive solutions for belt conveyors achieve their consistently high efficiency across a wide torque range and are therefore ideal for economical operation in the partial load and partial speed range.

Drive technology for belt conveyors:

Outstanding energy efficiency
Economical operation in the partial load and partial speed range
Sensorless synchronous motors

High-Speed-Transport

Tray conveyors consist of two narrow belts on which the items of baggage are transported in flat, rectangular containers - so-called trays or transport trays. As they do not require a conveyor belt, they run more smoothly and achieve higher speeds than belt conveyors. Gear motors with brakes are therefore a must, as is energy-saving operation. Solo motors are also often used.

Drive technology for tray conveyors:

Highly efficient drive systems
Geared motors with brake
Solo motors without gearbox

Baggage logistics with NORD drive units

Hamburg Airport (Germany)

To ensure smooth baggage transport at Hamburg Airport, the baggage logistics system was also overhauled as part of a modernisation project. This required intelligent, powerful and highly flexible drive technology, which was supplied by NORD.
