Conveyor &
Handling Systems

for Catering Logistics

Efficient bin transport between all catering process areas

Connecting cleaning, tray setting, storage and outbound handling in one continuous flow

Efficient movement of catering bins inside catering facilities is essential to meet tight airline schedules. Lödige conveyor and handling systems provide hygienic, safe and reliable transport between cleaning, tray setting, storage and outbound areas. These modular systems ensure smooth flows, reduce manual handling, and integrate seamlessly with automated storage such as the Space Tower.

Continuous flow – from cleaning to loading

Conveyor and handling systems connect all areas of a catering logistics facility. They enable fast horizontal and vertical transfer of bins, maintaining hygienic conditions and supporting a continuous cold chain. Systems can include roller conveyors, chain conveyors, lifts and turntables, adapted to the required throughput and available space. With integration into warehouse and inventory management systems, all movements are traceable and transparent.
