Installation of solutions for standard and out-of-gauge baggage handling
For over 45 years, our experienced teams have delivered the design, manufacture, installation and maintenance of automated airport conveyor systems.
Our ambition is to support you in the handling and optimisation of baggage flows of every size in your airport. Our solutions, entirely home-designed, are based on proven standards and shaped to your specific needs.
Complete departures installation for standard and out-of-gauge baggage drop
The check-in counters comprise different elements that can be adapted according to the challenges and the space configuration:
- Ergonomic furniture
We work with local partners, specialists in their field, to deliver high-quality furniture designed with your specific use in mind.
- Weighing / labelling / injection systems
The baggage is weighed, labelled by the agent and evacuated by a conveyor network to the secure area. This equipment, of particularly refined design and with ergonomics adapted to passenger comfort and to the check-in agent’s workstation, operates under fully safe conditions and at very low noise level. It is designed to accommodate the diversity of baggage covered by the IATA standard. A version on castors, fitted with positioning pins and quick-release couplings, is available as an option to facilitate maintenance. The stainless-steel cladding, particularly elegant, is designed to prevent any snagging of straps.
- Security systems
The installation is completed with anti-intrusion shutters, protecting accesses between public area, technical area and secure area, as well as with flame-retardant or fire-rated shutters or curtains.
- Screens and terminals
Baggage Handling Systems (BHS) in the secure technical area
In an airport environment where fluidity, accuracy and security are absolute imperatives, our Baggage Handling Systems (BHS) ensure optimised flow management in the secure technical area. Designed to meet the requirements of both large and small air hubs, our equipment integrates seamlessly with existing infrastructure while delivering a high level of performance and availability.
A complete, modular and bespoke chain:
Collectors
Placed at the head of the chain, our collectors receive baggage from the check-in counters and provide a homogeneous, timed feed to the sortation line. They enable smooth regulation of flows at system input.
Belt conveyors
Central components of the conveyor system, our belt conveyors guarantee a continuous, controlled flow of baggage. Available in several lengths, widths and configurations, they adapt perfectly to the space constraints and throughput requirements of your infrastructure.
Powered curved conveyors
To optimise space and follow the complex routings of technical areas, our powered curved conveyors maintain baggage orientation without slowing down the flow. They ensure a smooth, integrity-preserving transfer of baggage even at high speed.
Identification portal
Installed to enable automated baggage identification through barcode or RFID reading, the identification portal integrates seamlessly with your information system. It ensures a high reading rate, reducing sortation errors and improving traceability.
Gravity roller conveyors
Used for temporary accumulation zones or for manual transfer, our gravity roller conveyors offer a simple, rugged and economical solution while retaining great operational flexibility.
Reclaim carousel
At the end of sortation, the carousels ensure smooth distribution of baggage to downstream handling areas or to aircraft loading positions. Rugged and quiet, our carousels are designed for continuous operation, even in periods of heavy traffic.
Complete arrivals installation for standard and out-of-gauge baggage delivery
Baggage handling on arrival is a strategic link in the passenger experience and the operational performance of an airport. Our Baggage Handling Systems are designed to ensure smooth, secure delivery in compliance with current standards, while adapting to the specific constraints of each terminal.
A complete, modular and bespoke chain:
Deposit belt conveyors
Our belt conveyors handle the reception of standard baggage with optimised throughput and quiet operation. Rugged and modular, they integrate seamlessly into baggage handling areas, meeting the rhythms imposed by simultaneous flight arrivals.
Baggage injectors
Our injectors ensure smooth synchronisation between the sortation lines and the carousels. Their precise control ensures optimal positioning of the baggage, limiting the risk of jams and increasing your productivity. They can be configured according to different operating scenarios to best suit your needs.

Reclaim carousels
We offer a range of friction carousels fitted with large-format slats, adapted to the various passenger flows and baggage dimensions. Each carousel is designed for a homogeneous, continuous distribution, ensuring optimal visibility of the baggage for passengers while easing operational management.
Gravity roller conveyors for out-of-gauge baggage
For out-of-gauge baggage (musical instruments, strollers, sports equipment, etc.), our gravity roller lines offer an ergonomic and reliable solution. Their modular design allows perfect adaptation to available spaces, with facilitated handling for operators.
Safety devices: anti-intrusion, flame-retardant and fire-rated shutters
Sortation area security is ensured through the integration of anti-intrusion shutters, flame-retardant shutters or fire-rated shutters. These devices guarantee compliance with security and fire-safety standards. They enable rapid isolation of areas in the event of an incident, without compromising baggage handling flow.

Conveying for Security Screening Checkpoints (SSC)
As part of airport security operations, Security Screening Checkpoints (SSC) are a strategic link in the passenger journey. To streamline passage while ensuring a high level of security, AVN offers rugged, ergonomic conveyor equipment perfectly suited to the requirements of passenger and cabin-baggage control.
Gravity roller conveyors — cabin baggage drop and reclaim
Our gravity roller conveyors are designed to equip the upstream and downstream zones of your screening lines:
Deposit zone before inspection
Installed before the scanner passage, these conveyors allow passengers to deposit their trays and personal belongings with ease. Their design ensures continuous flow with no congestion, while limiting floor footprint.
Retrieval zone after inspection
Placed at the scanner exit, they ease the retrieval of trays by passengers after inspection. Their layout optimises the rapid return to a smooth passenger flow, while respecting ergonomic standards for security officers.
