Alstef Group, a global leader in baggage handling and airport automation solutions, is thrilled to announce the launch of XSORT, a cross-belt sorter specifically designed for baggage handling. This innovative high-speed sortation solution combines efficiency and sustainability, setting a new standard in airport baggage operations.
XSORT is the only cross-belt sorter purpose-built for the unique demands of baggage handling. Unlike conventional systems adapted from parcel sorting, XSORT has been meticulously engineered to optimize performance for the specific size, weight, and handling needs of baggage, resulting in a compact and adaptable sorter that delivers maximum operational efficiency.
As the greenest sorter available, XSORT is eco-engineered with energy-efficient technologies and sustainable materials integrated at every stage of design. This ensures compliance with global green standards and prioritizes long-term environmental benefits.
Key features:
- XSORT is designed with a low height and a minimized footprint, making it an ideal choice for airports where space efficiency is crucial. With 5° and 11° incline options, XSORT is highly adaptable, fitting seamlessly into any airport’s new or existing infrastructure.
- XSORT incorporates low maintenance technologies such as synchronous linear motor drives, inductive power transfer, and very short-range Wi-Fi communication. These features reduce mechanical wear and tear, enabling smoother operation and reducing maintenance requirements.
- The system is equipped with native predictive maintenance capabilities, providing real-time monitoring and diagnostics that minimize downtime and extend equipment life.
“XSORT is a true Alstef innovation,” says Nicolas Breton, President and CEO at Alstef Group. “We developed it specifically for baggage handling with sustainability at the forefront, ensuring that every component is purposefully chosen to deliver high performance while minimizing environmental impact.”
