The HBC (Hand Baggage Control) from Motion06 gmbh is an automated conveyor system that transports hand luggage into X-ray screening containers and returns empty containers after scanning — eliminating repetitive manual lifting by security staff. Designed for airport passenger checkpoints, it handles up to 300 persons per hour and integrates with all conventional X-ray machines regardless of manufacturer. Security personnel can remain focused on image interpretation rather than moving luggage.

How does the modular design reduce installation time and footprint?

The HBC uses Motion06's EIS (Easy Installation System) modular framework, where pre-assembled conveyor segments lock together on site without specialized tooling. An arched outlet shortens the overall structural length compared to straight-belt designs, allowing the system to fit into checkpoint layouts where space behind the X-ray machine is limited. The modules are optimized for transport in standard packaging, and the entire system can be assembled, aligned, and commissioned rapidly — an advantage for airports upgrading security lanes during limited overnight maintenance windows.

What maintenance does the conveyor drive system require?

The HBC conveyor is designed for minimal maintenance. Bearings are lifetime-lubricated and sealed, and the system can be specified with an optional tooth-belt drive that eliminates chain tensioning and lubrication routines. The energy-efficient drive motor reduces both electrical consumption and heat output in the checkpoint area. These design choices lower the total cost of ownership for airports running security lanes continuously across multi-shift operations.
