Compact and powerful – Vertical line diverters for baggage handling systems
Powerful vertical diverter units are deployed whenever special pieces of flight baggage need to be discharged from the main flow of baggage following the screening process and reinserted after they have been inspected. The TRANSNORM VertiSwitch® has been developed especially for these requirements. This completely standardised diverter unit can be used optionally either as a diverter or as a merge unit.
Rugged construction, modular design and good dynamic performance of the swivel movements are the highlights of this product. Based on the prevalent flight baggage dimensions (L=900 mm), with a switching time of < 1 second, distribution speeds of up to 2,000 pieces of baggage/hour can be achieved.
The TRANSNORM VertiSwitch® offer the following benefits
- Compact design for minimum space requirement
- Innovative design with minimal power consumption
- Design with optimal weight yet robust construction with a high degree of reliability
- Considerably surpasses the practical performance requirements of the airport industry
- Extremely low noise operation, even at high speeds
- Very low maintenance required
- It may be used optionally either as a diverter or as a merge unit
