LOW ENERGY, HIGH SPEED The combination of low energy and high speed made the system with CrisBag® and LS-4000 from the Crisplant® product range the perfect baggage handling solution for Helsinki Airport. Helsinki Airport handles nearly 15 million passengers a year, and with 130 nonstop destinations around the world and 350 departures a day, is the leading long-haul airport in northern Europe. Growth over the years has necessitated major redevelopment, which commenced in 2009 with the expansion of Terminal 2 and the renovation of Terminal 1. Part of the reason for the expansion of Terminal 2 was to accommodate a new Baggage Logistics Centre (BLC). HIGHLIGHTS > CrisBag is a highly modular system. The same components are used many times throughout the system, making it extremely attractive from a spare parts and manufacturing point of view. > The transfer monitor tool allows Helsinki Airport to have a unique overview of delayed incoming flights carrying transfer baggage. > The baggage handling system allows Finavia to claim a low minimum connection time between flights.

From the check-in areas in Terminals 1 and 2, conventional take-away conveyors transport the bags down to the apron level, where they are transferred to the tote-based CrisBag® system. This rapidly moves them via a tunnel to the BLC, where they are discharged onto conventional conveyors for security screening. At this point transfer bags are also merged into the flow. As a unique feature, BEUMER Group has developed a transfer monitor tool that allows Helsinki Airport to have a unique overview of delayed incoming flights carrying transfer baggage. The system alerts automatically for the...

ORIGINS One of the main reasons for Finavia’s choice of Crisplant for this project was the speed of the system. On long uninterrupted stretches the CrisBag tote-based system can increase speed to 7m/s. A further feature of BEUMER Group’s proposal that weighed in its favour was its energy efficiency and the fact that the LS-4000 sorters had a much lower power consumption than competing systems was an important factor in Finavia’s decision. Low power usage is especially important for airports because power is a large proportion of operational costs. The power-saving efficiency of the LS-4000...
