TS-TR150 Powered Belt Curves for Airport Baggage Handling
Gramac Quartz TS-TR150 powered belt curves are designed for integration into demanding, high-speed airport baggage handling systems. They provide smooth changes in conveyor direction, helping baggage move through airport conveyor networks where space, reliability and system availability are important. Under normal ambient operating conditions, and with appropriate maintenance, a service life well in excess of 15 years can be anticipated.

Note: Any curve angle between 15° and 180° can be manufactured on request.
The TS-TR150 airport belt curve can also be manufactured in bespoke formats, with a maximum outer radius of 3,500 mm and a maximum belt width of 1,500 mm.
Spiral Belt Curves for Airport Baggage Handling
Where a baggage handling conveyor route needs to change direction and elevation, spiral belt curves can be manufactured with a change in height of up to 500 mm over 90° (pro rata for other angles). These curves are normally fitted with a high-grip belt surface to help prevent baggage slippage and a braked geared motor unit.

TS-TR150 Airport Belt Curve Configuration and Maintenance
Drive Units: Hollow-shaft geared motor units are usually mounted at the discharge end, either horizontally on the outer radius or vertically on the inner radius. SEW Eurodrive motors are standard; motors from other manufacturers can also be supplied and fitted.
Belts: Endless belts are supplied with a minimum number of vulcanised finger-spliced joints, using two-ply polyester-backed material with a black PVC top surface designed for low friction and low noise. The specified belt material is fire-resistant to ISO 340. Spiral curves use high-grip, rough-top belts; other belt types are available on request.
Side Walls: Removable fabricated sheet-steel sidewalls can be fitted up to 450 mm above belt level. Mounting brackets and holes for photoelectric cells (PECs) and reflectors can be incorporated.
Guarding: Removable galvanised sheet-steel panels provide underside guarding as standard. Belt guide rollers are guarded at the top, bottom and around the terminal ends.
Supports: H-type support legs are available with anti-vibration footpads and ±50 mm adjustment, or with locking castors. Outriggers can be fitted to curves installed close to floor level, while side brackets can be provided for ceiling-suspended installations.
Finish: The main body, sidewalls and supports can be powder-coated in a standard RAL or BS colour of the customer’s choice. A galvanised finish is also available for humid or exposed locations.
Maintenance: Operation and maintenance manuals explain recommended periodic maintenance routines. Sealed-for-life bearings minimise lubrication requirements, and lightweight moving-part guards can be removed for access. A maintenance viewing window is provided, and no special tools are required. The heaviest component is normally the geared motor unit, weighing up to 35 kg. Belt changes can be completed in under 20 minutes.
