Baggage Delivery Chutes
Application
Straight chutes, curved chutes and glacis are used throughout baggage handling systems to perform a multitude of functions. These include:
-
Sortation chute fed from Tilt Tray or similar sorting device.
-
Late ‘bag drop’ at boarding gate.
-
Temporary storage device.
-
Vertical downward transportation of bags between floor levels.
Chutes & Glacis
Straight Chutes: Daifuku Logan straight chutes are designed to handle a wide range of product and convey them in a controlled manner whist causing the minimum disruption to baggage flow.
Glacis: Daifuku Logan glacis are similar in design to our straight chutes but are capable of giving an optimum amount of storage area combined with the most effective use of floor space.
Spiral Chutes: Daifuku Logan spiral chutes are designed with the same principals in mind as straight chutes but have the added advantages of being able to accept multiple inputs into the same chute within a limited floor space. They have also been designed and profiled to allow product to ‘self start’ from any position along the chute
Specialised Chutes: Daifuku Logan also offer a range of specialised chutes, designed to perform specific tasks or functions within baggage handling systems. Such examples include ‘Petty Wheel’ transition chutes, gated chutes, dual output chutes, etc.

Chutes & Glacis
General Description
Straight Chutes & Glacis
Straight Chutes are custom designed to suit the product and application. However, the design reflects proven chute practices based upon many years of experience within the industry. Chutes may be constructed from a range of materials, having bedplates from either, Stainless Steel, Mild Steel, Wood, Plastic, Rollers or a combination of these materials.
The chute length, total fall in height, angle of decent (or combined angles for complex chutes) and chute width are custom designed to fit within the working area whilst being designed to convey the product in the safest manner.
Glacis are essentially wide straight chutes, in which a number of sorts can be performed to the single work surface. These sorts are generally spread across a longer chute surface, generally from 3 metres wide to the maximum space available within the working area. All the design variations that are available for straight chutes are also available to Glacis.
