CrisBag Tote System

Klaus Schäfer, Crisplant Managing Director, comments: "The development of innovative technologies is central to BEUMER Group's joint approach to enable airports of all sizes, worldwide, to meet the challenge of continually increasing the efficiency of their baggage handling system."

The CrisBag® tote system is designed to improve security by using in-line baggage screening. By allowing baggage to remain in the tote throughout the entire screening process, CrisBag® not only minimises the risk of tampering, but also helps to reduce screening and transfer times. The latest system feature also includes an adaptive tilt mechanism which provides both static and dynamic tilt for baggage discharge. Düsseldorf Airport and Calgary Airport, which are both expanding, are the latest airports to commission the CrisBag® system to provide greater flexibility in their baggage handling.

Crisplant will also demonstrate the new LS-4000econ sorter, which enables airports to minimise their energy and maintenance costs, in addition to reducing the floor space of the baggage.
