Baggage Carousel Bumpers for Every Make and Model
Unified Supply supports every aspect of carousels in the baggage handling system industry. One of the most critical parts we support which is often overlooked is carousel bumpers. Carousel bumpers serve a very important function on slope plate devices of cushioning the blow from bags sliding down the stainless steel pallets.
Carousel bumpers that are not adequately replaced can lead to the destruction of bags and additional pinch points which can snag bags and gather trash, in addition to increasing the chance of injury to passengers who come in contact with the damaged bumpers. Damaged bumpers need to be replaced as a matter of efficiency and safety, not simply cosmetics.
Unified Supply provides the bumpers that come standard on every brand of baggage conveyor in the industry including 3-D Bumpers and 7-Rib Bumpers. In addition to standard replacement, we have worked with multiple customers to retrofit their carousel to work with their bumper of choice.
If your bag system needs replacement carousel bumpers to improve looks and operation, contact our Parts Department today.
7-Rib Bumper for Stearns Maxi I Legacy Carousels
Unified Supply provides a 7-Rib Bumper for the Stearns Maxi I legacy systems. The bumper is a key component in maintaining the safety of the traveling public as well as baggage handling workers.
The Stearns Maxi I is one of the most innovative slope plate carousel designs ever, allowing for layouts beyond simple ovals. This is because the Maxi I is capable of bi-directional turning, which allows for carousel layouts such as kidney shape utilizing both left-hand and right-hand turns.
The 7-Rib Bumper, also known as a Shock Absorber, is flexible enough to support the bi-directional turning capability of the Stearns Maxi I. The primary components of the 7-Rib Assembly are the bumper itself, as well as clips and wear strips. The clips serve as locks to keep the UHMW wear strips in place during high-vibration use. In the photos shown, the bumper is a black rubber material, while the UHMW wear strips are white and the locking clips are silver in color.
