17.03.08
A £500,000 upgrade to the baggage handling system at Southampton Airport has been completed. Airport owner BAA commissioned Sheffield based company Geo. Robson & Co to supply and fit the baggage handling system from check in to airside loading.
The new system includes the weighing facility at check in and the X-Ray security scanning, plus twenty individual conveyors used to transport the baggage to the make up carousel, where the bags are sorted for the flights and loaded on to the trolleys for transfer to the aircraft.
With the layout of Southampton Airport the makeup carousel needed to be over 100 metres in length. To achieve this, Robson designed and installed the latest Friction Drive Carousel. However, the Southampton Airport installation is unique, as the Friction Drive Carousel had to be installed in two parts.
