Feb 09, 2010 (newstodate): Danish provider of automated baggage handling systems, Crisplant has won a 12.6 million euro upgrade contract by China's Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport.
The major upgrade is scheduled to be completed by September 2010, in time to prepare Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport to handle visitors and athletes attending Asia's largest-ever multi-sports events.
Plans for an upgrade were included in the original baggage handling system, designed and installed by Crisplant in 2004.
The upgrade will add an extra 18 check-in counters and conveyors, taking the total to 182.
Also included in the upgrade is the integration of six new security screening machines, which will provide additional baggage screening capacity, particularly for baggage bound for North America.
The two original Crisplant tilt-tray sorters already provide sufficient handling speed for the increased capacity but will be extended with the addition of 10 inductions.
The sorting system upgrade also includes 11 vertical sort units, 10 horizontal sort units, two chutes and 30 360° IATA tag scanners.
