High-speed Sortation
Experienced integrators of Cross Belt Sorters, Tilt-tray systems, and Destination Coded Vehicles
Alstef Group delivers high-speed baggage handling systems designed to optimise airport operations and improve passenger experience. At the heart of our offering is XSORT, our proprietary cross-belt sorter, engineered for high throughput, precise bag routing, and minimal mis-sorts. XSORT is ideal for airports looking to increase efficiency while handling growing passenger volumes.
Our expertise extends beyond our own solutions. Alstef Group can integrate and modernise baggage handling systems using equipment from other suppliers, ensuring seamless operation across all check-in, screening, and sortation processes. This flexibility allows airports to upgrade existing infrastructure without replacing entire systems, maximising performance and minimising disruption.

Tilt-tray high-speed sorter integration
A tilt-tray sorter consists of trays mounted to a series of carts linked together in a continuous closed loop. As necessary, these trays “tilt” to transfer the bag they are carrying the appropriate chute.

Carousel Pusher Loop Sorters System
A carousel pusher loop sorter is equipped with multiple drive units enabling full speed and full capacity operations with at least one drive unit out of service. Its speed of 1 m per second allows a throughput of up to 2700 bags per hour (1200 bags/h per induction). The friction drive technology provides a low noise and the elliptic cinematic of the pusher pallet makes the deviation of the bags smooth and precise. This solution has very low energy consumption as well as very low maintenance costs (compared to tilt tray or cross belt sorters). Compact and flexible, this system is easy to modify (carousel can be expanded quickly without long operation stop)
