Product Description

The G&S Horizontal Sortation Device (HSD) is a robust, gentle, efficient means of diverting baggage in airport baggage screening and sorting systems. Typically preceded by a series of queue conveyors, which control flow and optimize baggage spacing, the HSD redirects baggage effectively from the main line to a secondary line for further operations or baggage inspection.


Baggage is diverted by two paddle conveyors that are designed to automatically pivot towards each other, aligning to form a powered deflecting face oriented 45 degrees to baggage flow. These paddles are capable of redirecting baggage of varying sizes as large as 120 pounds, including baggage tubs and golf clubs. The speed of the powered face is proportional to that of the main-line conveyor resulting in a belt speed relationship that optimizes baggage transfer and minimizes baggage jams.

Quick cycle times are accomplished by counter-balancing one lightweight conveyor against the other, which minimizes physical inertia and produces a smooth, efficient actuating motion. As a result, this simple design is capable of cycle times of 0.5 seconds, translating to a capacity of more than 30 bags per minute (1850 bags per hour) running at 240 feet per minute with 96 inch front-to-front baggage gaps.
