Tech/Engineering - Transport / Transportation / Shipping | | Dutch term or phrase: afstort | Het gaat om een bagage afhandelingssysteem op een vliegveld. De term afstort komt vaak voor, bijvoorbeeld in de volgende zin:
in eerste instantie buffering op de lijn daarna gaat bagage naar volgende afstort van sorter (automatisch) of na recirculatie naar Oddsize 1 (onveilige garbage afstort)
Dumping area klinkt so slordig alhoewel "afstort" wel zoiets betekent. |

| | drop chute | Explanation:
I'm not sure about this, but I think an "afstort" on a luggage sorter might be called a "drop chute".
I know that a "stortgoot" is a "chute". And that "drop chute conveyors", and "tilt tray sorters" are used in airports.
"At the days end, waste is emptied down a drop chute 711-719 to one of conveyors742-746 (A-E) and delivered to conveyor 701 and at bin 770 (G) to wheeled bins for removal from the center."
"Bottles are elevated up into the centrifugal sorting bowl, where they are delivered to a drop chute. At the bottom of the chute, bottles are picked off by bottle grippers on a rotary turret."
"Manufacturer and supplier of chute conveyor, chute loading conveyor, gravity chute conveyor, industrial chute conveyor, drop chute, roller conveyor, belt conveyor, control desk, mixture drum and material handling bucket." |
