Product Overview

The Automatic Baggage Singulator transforms a bulk flow of bags into a flow in which each bag is uniformly separated, spaced, and aligned before infeed to the Automated Tag Reader (ATR), Explosive Detection System (EDS), or induction point of a Tilt-Tray Sorter or ICS Top Loader.

Without singulation, bags arriving in bulk can jam at induction points, cause misread tags, and reduce overall BHS throughput. The singulator solves this by using sensor-triggered belt speed adjustments to create consistent spacing between bags — ensuring downstream equipment receives a clean, single-file flow every time.

Key Features


  • Transforms bulk, randomized bag flow into a uniformly separated, single-file stream

  • Sensor-based gap and speed control delivers consistent, precise spacing between bags

  • Photo-electric presence detection sensors ensure reliable, accurate triggering

  • PLC-controlled operation for precise, repeatable speed and gap adjustment

  • Handles a wide range of bag sizes, shapes, and weights with adjustable settings

  • Reduces bag jams and tag misreads at ATR and EDS induction points

  • Compatible with tilt-tray sorters and ICS top loaders

  • Seamless integration with existing BHS conveyor networks

  • Low-maintenance, belt-driven mechanism with minimal moving parts
