Siemens has installed one of the most modern baggage handling systems in the world in the new Terminal 3 at Beijing Airport. It can sort and transport more than 19,000 items of baggage per hour.
With around 68 kilometers of conveyor belts and a top speed of ten meters per second, the system is one of the largest and fastest anywhere in the world.
Thanks to a complex system of sorting machines and gates, it takes less than 25 minutes to transport a bag from the check-in counter to the aircraft at the most distant gate.
