Bag Store Systems

Low-bay and unitary bag storage solutions for busy airports

Alstef Group's bag store systems help airports efficiently manage early check-in baggage, transfer baggage, batch build operations and peak demand periods. Available in both high-density tote-based and conveyor-based configurations, our solutions improve baggage flow, optimise make-up operations and maximise available terminal space.

BAGSHUTTLE

BAGSHUTTLE is a high-speed shuttle system that distributes bags to conveyor-based low-storage bays offering accumulation conveyor lanes for batch storage of the bags​ and collecting lanes for retrieval of bags (full or partial flush of storage lanes).

BAGSHUTTLE Benefits

f

Highly flexible configurations

No limitation for retrieval

e

One, two or three layer shuttles

Conveyor-based Low-bay Storage Solution 

BAGSHUTTLE systems can be configured to suit any available space and are ideal for when the terminal building design limits options for tote-based, high-bay storage.

Applications

  • Early bag store: to store early, checked bags​
  • Transfer processing: to store transfer bags if the transfer duration is significant
  • Optimization of an existing sortation system: chute opening period per flight can be shortened to increase the capacity of the BHS

High-bay Unitary Storage Using Stacker Crane Technology 

BAGTOTE is a bag storage conveying solution that provides independent storage and retrieval of individual bags. Each tote is RFID equipped to provide 100% tracking and the totes are stored in high-bay stacking systems - up to 20 meters high.

Totes are accessed via double fork stacker cranes increasing input/output capacity. Double deep forks technology enables redundancy and means any bag can be accessed from more than one aisle in case of crane failure.

The highly-efficient tote based conveying range includes:

 

  • Straight conveyors​
  • Curve conveyors​
  • Merging conveyors
  • Transfer tables​
  • Elevators​
  • Loading/ unloading stations
