Conveyors
High-speed airport conveyor range — including the BLUEVEYOR — engineered for low noise, low energy, and up to 80% energy reduction versus conventional belt systems.
Vanderlande's airport conveyor portfolio covers every fixed-belt transport function in the baggage hall: check-in feed, raw-baggage induction, merge sections, screening inclines, accumulation buffers, and sortation loops. The range is designed around two performance pillars — reliability at sustained conveyor speeds up to 3 m/s, and the lowest total cost of ownership through reduced energy draw and simplified maintenance architecture.
The flagship product in the range is the BLUEVEYOR, engineered in accordance with Cradle-to-Cradle principles. Its redesigned drive eliminates complex belt routing, cuts moving mass by approximately 50%, and delivers energy savings of up to 80% compared with conventional conveyors — confirmed in pilot testing at approximately 56% reduction. The BLUEVEYOR is constructed from non-toxic, fully recyclable materials, making it the only airport conveyor designed to comply with closed-loop material recovery at end-of-life.
For general-purpose transport and induction duties, the standard belt conveyor range provides established merging, accumulating, and raw-baggage sortation functions combined with industry-leading noise reduction — a meaningful operating-environment benefit in staff-intensive baggage halls. Both product families integrate with VIBES software for centralised monitoring and maintenance scheduling.
Airport procurement teams specifying BHS for new GCC terminals or retrofitting energy-intensive legacy systems will find the BLUEVEYOR particularly relevant: the Middle East's combination of high-volume operations and ESG-driven regulatory pressure (UAE Net Zero 2050, Saudi Vision 2030 sustainability targets) makes energy-per-bag a commercial metric, not just a certificate requirement.
