Baggage transport systems in airports operate 24/7 with very demanding safety, reliability and low-noise requirements. Belts must be antistatic (to prevent false alarms in X-ray equipment), fire retardant and resistant to wear from suitcases, trolleys and equipment.
At NFP Industrial we supply PVC belts for airports from Kunming Conveyor Belt Co., Ltd., with antistatic and fire retardant (ASF) properties, certified low noise level and high durability for 24/7 BHS operation.
Recommended belts for airports
Check-in and baggage reclaim belts
AEM 2-ply models with low-noise multifilament polyester fabric. Smooth or lightly textured surface. AS (antistatic) properties as standard. AEM fabric generates less noise when passing over rollers than standard EM fabric, improving the passenger experience.
- •AEM fabric (multifilament polyester) — certified low noise level
- •AS property as standard — prevents static charge build-up
- •Widths from 800 to 1600 mm for baggage reclaim carousels
Security belts (X-ray)
Models with ASF feature (antistatic + fire retardant) for security inspection equipment. Dark surface (black or petroleum) for maximum contrast in X-ray visualisation, facilitating detection of prohibited items.
- •ASF (Anti-Static + Fire Retardant) — airport security requirement
- •Black or petroleum colour for optimal contrast in X-ray image
- •Low particle emission — does not interfere with screening equipment sensors
Cargo handling belts
3–4 ply models with high tensile strength for heavy cargo handling on ramp platforms and cargo hold loading belts. Wear-resistant to the frequent passage of ULD containers and air pallets. For BHS renewal projects in Spain and Latin America, see our market coverage.
