Belt bends for Eurostar hub

At St Pancras station, the main UK terminal for Eurostar passenger services and the London hub for its express courier division, Esprit Europe, baggage and parcels must be counted, weighed, security checked and transported between their initial delivery point at the EuroDespatch Centre and the train. This needs to be achieved with as little reorientation and physical interference as possible.

Essential to this, Transnorm type TS1600-105 bends are reported to have performed faultlessly for their first six months of use, in both 90° and 180° modes.

Peter Risebrow, business manager for Eurostar's logistics division says: "Transnorm belt bends have performed with 100% efficiency, not only saving unnecessary baggage handling by retaining orientation, but also saving space in our baggage warehouse and reject areas."
