Conveyor belts for airports
Efficient and sustainable operation with the right conveyor belts
From check-in to security screening to loading and unloading, you need the right belt to run an airport efficiently. In exactly the quality you expect. All our belts comply with airports’ stringent demands. They are flame retardant, impact resistant, antistatic, low noise, track consistently, and operate at high and low temperatures. We’re constantly investing in innovative, new solutions.
„In addition to efficiency, sustainability is becoming ever more important. Airports have to achieve climate goals, such as carbon neutrality, which are specified by shareholders and politicians. Our conveyor belts offer airports, airport operators and systems integrators the energy-saving potential demanded. What’s more, some of the conveyor belts in our portfolio are made from recycled PET bottles. Improve your environmental footprint and cut your running costs too. As an expert in baggage handling logistics in airports, I can help you achieve your sustainability goals with Forbo products.“
„Forbo Movement Systems belts are some of the market’s top-performing products. We’ve successfully fitted out hundreds of airports worldwide, as our satisfied customers and partners can confirm. But we don’t stop there. We’re investing in innovations to make better products all the time. For instance, more energy-efficient, robust, low-noise belts made of recycled material. To ensure your airport runs efficiently and sustainably.“

Whitepaper
In the white paper "Saving energy operating baggage handling systems", we examine the energy consumption of belt conveyors. Measurements in the laboratory and on active airport systems prove this: By using appropriate conveyor belt types, energy savings of over 40% can be achieved for the entire conveyor. Amortisation calculations show that possible additional costs are more than compensated for by lower energy costs. Secondary effects such as longer belt service life and longer conveying distances with an identical drive can further reduce the overall costs of the system.

Our conveyor belts for your baggage handling logistics
The universal belt
Our multi-layer, fabric-based, Siegling Transilon and Siegling Transtex conveyor belts are destined for diverse conveyor and processing tasks. In all areas of the baggage handling, they are real all-rounders, or customized for specific applications such as tray conveying.
Special belts for curves are flexible in all directions – both horizontally and spirally – and can easily handle even complex requirements.
Conveyor belts for the infeed and outfeed merging of items of baggage fulfill one of the core tasks of baggage handling systems. Conveyor belts from Forbo Movement Systems are highly accepted in this industry.
Operate sustainably and cut energy costs
The Amp Miser conveyor belts meet all standards. They are robust, flame retardant, antistatic, low noise and operate in the temperature range required. And they are verifiably energy efficient. Thanks to the low friction coefficient, Amp Miser enables smaller motor gearbox sizes, longer conveyors and a reduction in the number of motors.
With recycled PET in the tension members, the Transilon ECOFIBER belts save on primary raw materials and therefore help you to reach your sustainability goals.
