A £500,000 upgrade to the baggage security and handling system at Southampton Airport has been completed.BAA commissioned Sheffield based handling company Geo. Robson & Co to supply and install 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 were used to complete the system, transporting 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 one hundred metres in length. To achieve this, Robson designed and installed the latest Friction Drive Carousel. The Southampton installation is unique, as the Friction Drive Carousel was installed in two parts.
