Terminal area: 46,500 ㎡ Designed annual passenger throughput: 5 million passengers Annual aircraft movements: 45,000 As an international airport, this airport is an important window for the opening-up of the central China region to the outside world and an important platform for developing an outward-oriented economy. The automated baggage handling system started construction in 2022 and is about to be put into operation. This project is the first in China to use a Loop Cross Belt Sorter to achieve fully automated baggage sorting. The designed annual passenger throughput is 5 million passengers and annual aircraft movements are 45,000, which can fully meet the automated baggage sorting needs during peak passenger throughput periods.

The customer‘s storage space is limited. With the increase in business volume, the problem of inventory backlog is more and more serious, which leads to an increase in storage costs. Therefore, it is urgent to introduce an AS/RS to realize more efficient inventory turnover and flexible storage layout and reduce space waste.
The airport has an annual passenger throughput of over one million. During peak sorting periods, the airport sorting center cannot meet the demand through manual sorting.
The automated baggage handling system uses a loop cross belt sorting system to solve the problem of limited sorting space, making the equipment highly compatible with the site and achieving efficient automated baggage sorting. The system consists of three systems: the departure system, the arrival system, and the control system, with a total equipment length of about 900 meters. The designed annual passenger throughput is 5 million passengers and annual aircraft movements are 45,000.
Departure system: includes the standard baggage departure system, large baggage departure system, loop cross belt sorting system, and camera recognition system for baggage tags.
Arrival system: includes multiple horizontal claim carousels.
Control system: includes the electrical and control system, information processing system, equipment monitoring system, and video monitoring system.
The Loop Cross Belt Sorter uses sorting carriers to induct baggage and forms a loop sorting mode, with a sorting efficiency of ≥ 4,800 pcs/h.
The sorting carrier uses a sine wave servo drive for motorized rollers, achieving the precise control of the running speed and distance of the motorized rollers. The error rate is controlled within 1%.
The sorting carriers actively output baggage through friction belt operation and the height difference between the carriers and the sorting receiving points is small, sorting baggage flexibly.
