Gramac name lives on
April 1st 2006

The Gramac names lives on in many industrial sectors and, in particular, is still reliably serving handling requirements in airports throughout the world.

The Gramac quickrelease belt curve, manufactured by Quartz Systems (part of Amber Industries), was first trialled in 1996 at Brussels National Airport.

Two 90° units were installed as part of a test loop demonstrating baggage handling capabilities by the main contractor, Logan Fabricom. Since then more than 200 Gramac Belt Curves have been installed at this airport as part of an ongoing upgrade to the baggage handling system.

Various Angles and Spiral versions have been supplied to complement the main contractor requirements, with many units being ceiling hung to maintain maximum clear access throughout the baggage hall.

In 1996 Johannesburg Airport was the first non- UK airport to purchase the QR-TR150 Belt Curve.

In 1997 other units were sent to South Africa to further baggage system alterations and are continuing to support reliable baggage handling in the airport today.
