Driving The Airport Industry Forward

Airports and airport operators are focused on sustainable solutions that drive innovation forward. Reliable baggage handling solutions from NORD DRIVESYSTEMS are low-cost, environmentally friendly, and energy-saving.

Drive Solutions for Airport Logistics

Climate-friendly air travel starts on the ground. Baggage handling systems from NORD reduce energy consumption, reducing the Total cost of Ownership and CO<sub>2</sub> emissions of your drive system.

NORD's industry experts are highly familiar with the requirements of airport logistics and work with engineers to develop baggage handling solutions for any requirement. Using the NORD ECO service , 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.

Airport Logistics Expertise

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 ensure high conveying speeds and enable optimum energy consumption even in partial load and speed ranges. They are also service- and maintenance-friendly, reducing standstill times and thus contributing to increased system efficiency and availability.

Drive Solutions for Airport Baggage Handling:

  • Complete drive solutions from a single source
  • High energy efficiency and dynamics
  • Reliable technology with long service live
  • Customer-specific solutions
  • Service-friendly plug-and-play technology
  • Minimum maintenance effort
  • Reduced weight
  • Large selection of decentralised frequency inverters
  • Reduction of drive variants
  • Recognised product quality in compliance with international standards
  • Worldwide service

Efficiency in Continuous Operation

Belt conveyors enable safe, reliable transport of materials over long distances at high speeds.

Belt conveyors in continuous operation require energy-efficient drive technology. NORD's belt conveyor solutions provide optimized system efficiency, high power density and a space-saving design. Our drive solutions for belt conveyors achieve high efficiency over a wide torque range, making it suitable for operation in partial load and speed ranges.

Drive Technology for Belt Conveyors

  • Energy efficiency
  • Economic operation in partial load and speed ranges
  • 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 STO functions
  • Stand-alone motors

Hamburg Airport

Suitcases on Parade at Hamburg Airport

There are several miles of conveyor belts at Hamburg Airport. In the luggage processing area, these conveyors are responsible for a combination of feeding, holding and sorting. An efficient organization of transport and storage is essential. The reliability of the conveyor system and the prevention of breakdowns ensured by powerful drive technology has top priority.
