Vladivostok awards Logan Teleflex 100% HBS contract for new international air terminal
Vladistok International is the latest Russian airport to select a 100% Hold Baggage Screening (HBS) system from Logan Teleflex for a significant airport re-development programme to be completed in 2012.
Hull-based Logan Teleflex, which is now part of Daifuku’s ‘global baggage handling operation, will work with local partner Gate Technologies on domestic and international Departures and Arrivals baggage handling systems, co-located in a single terminal building.
The baggage handling system is a tailored solution developed using tried and trusted technology compliant with international security standards and regulations for this developing 80 year old airport, which is owned by Vladivostok Air, the largest carrier in the Russian Far East and Siberia.
The new international air terminal is being built as part of a wider reconstruction programme throughout the airport complex and covers multi level parking, taxiways and new runways.
For the Departures systems, a total of 24 check-in positions (8 international and 16 domestic) will feed bags through to security screening lines utilising Gate Technologies supplied L3 MVT-HR x-ray screening machines and Level 3 in-line x-ray screening machines. The system will have ample redundancy, provided by reversing collector conveyors and a OOG (Out of Gauge) departure line, which also has an in-line x-ray screening machine.
The Arrivals systems for both domestic and international passengers will feature Logan Teleflex designed and manufactured M788 flat arrivals carousels to expedite baggage collection. M788 friction drive carousels will be used for Departure flight make up.
Ronnie Romano, Business Development Manager for Logan Teleflex Ltd commented: “Vladivostok is looking to enhance substantially its traffic handling capability, and is in the process of modernising airport facilities, including a bang-up-to-date baggage handling system with the latest screening machines and flight make up and arrivals carousels.”
