
BEUMER Group - a leading global supplier of automated baggage handling systems – has
developed TrayDeck as an effective solution to tilt-tray sorter stoppages caused by loose
items or baggage straps falling from the tray and becoming trapped in the gap between
trays. This is a common cause of sorter jams and stoppages which reduce the efficiency and
throughput in airport baggage handling systems.
“With TrayDeck both capacity and energy consumption of the sorter remain unaffected whilst
the risk of unplanned downtime is minimised,” explains Finn Laugesen, Director, Customer
Support, BEUMER Group.
TrayDeck’s movable deck accurately follows the movement of the sorter to eliminate the gap
between trays whilst allowing them to remain tilted as they enter a curve. When used in
airport baggage handling systems, TrayDeck prevents loose baggage straps from becoming
trapped under the tray.
TrayDeck can be used in new installations or as an upgrade to an existing system.
Retrofitting TrayDeck onto a legacy tilt-tray sorter is a plug-and-play installation. The
installation can be managed by Crisplant’s Customer Support team and carried out by the inhouse technical or maintenance teams.
