Baggage sorting system CrisBag®

for airport

Overview
Optimal baggage handling system (BHS) design ensures efficient baggage flow so the hold baggage screening (HBS) area can cope with peak throughput capacity and maintain operational continuity.

Details
Hold baggage screening is a core element of the end-to-end baggage process. A properly configured BHS balances loads across redundant routes, optimises use of screening equipment and minimises the total number of screening machines required while preserving throughput and traceability.

Integration and compliance
BEUMER Group baggage handling systems fully integrate compliant Hold Baggage Screening (HBS) equipment from leading suppliers. Designs support both loose-bag screening on conveyors and in-tote screening within a multi-level process engineered to meet TSA and ECAC Standard 3 requirements.

Key solution — CrisBag®
BEUMER Group’s CrisBag® independent carrier system delivers 100% track and trace and was the first BHS partner certified by the TSA for in-tote hold baggage screening, enabling secure in-tote workflows while maintaining throughput.
