The GENI-Flex is a modular automated sortation system engineered specifically for the items that defeat conventional conveyors — oversize luggage, bulky sports equipment, irregularly shaped parcels, and other non-compatibles that typically require manual intervention. At its core are self-contained pop-up divert modules: two high-friction transfer belts rise to gently redirect items toward selected takeaway lanes without the alignment requirements that constrain standard sorters. When divert is not needed, the belts retract and powered rollers carry items through unimpeded, virtually eliminating the band-and-roller maintenance burden of older architectures.

In airport and air cargo environments, the GENI-Flex addresses a persistent operational bottleneck — the manual removal of non-standard items from the main baggage stream. It is suited to dedicated oversized baggage lines, odd-size baggage (OSB) make-up areas, and air cargo induction stations where pallet-build items vary widely in form factor. The system accommodates takeaway configurations in parallel or powered 90° orientations to minimise downstream manual labour, with gravity 90° options available where hands-on handling is operationally required.

A procurement engineer evaluating this class of equipment should note the GENI-Flex's pre-wired, pre-assembled modular design: systems arrive with guarding and product guides factory-installed, reducing on-site commissioning time and dependency on specialist support. The robust structural design draws on belt materials proven in mining applications, offering resistance to cuts, tears, and abrasion — a meaningful attribute in high-cycle baggage environments. The modular layout allows future expansion or reconfiguration without system replacement. In GCC airports — where widebody aircraft, high passenger volumes, and a significant proportion of bulky sporting and hunting equipment create consistent OSB throughput — the GENI-Flex's scalability and low maintenance profile make it a strong candidate for dedicated OSB sortation lines.

Use cases.

  • Dedicated odd-size baggage (OSB) sortation lines at major hub airports
  • Air cargo induction stations handling mixed-dimension freight
  • Distribution and make-up areas where manual OSB handling is a throughput constraint
  • Expansion of existing BHS capacity to absorb growing non-compatible volumes
  • Retrofit integration into live conveyor systems requiring minimal commissioning downtime
