Airport Show: Vanderlande goes green with baggage system

Blueveyor is a next-generation conveyor system that takes a significant step forward in increasing the sustainability of airport baggage handling operations. The system minimises energy consumption, use of natural resources and environmental impact, the company said.

According to the company at the Dubai show, total cost of ownership for a blueveyor- based system is influenced positively by the energy savings, lower maintenance requirements and high rest value. As well as offering direct savings in operating costs, blueveyor also helps airports to meet their own sustainability targets.  
 
Blueveyor reduces the weight of the total conveyor system by about 50%, and is made almost completely of non-toxic, recyclable materials that can easily be separated. blueveyor is 100% PVC‑free, replaced by recyclable polyester, thereby eliminating one of the main environmental threats posed by conventional systems of this kind. Each drive in the conveyor system uses 100 kg less natural resources than conventional systems. The use of homogeneous materials allows all constituents to be returned to technical or biological cycles at end-of-life.
