When it comes to security checkpoints at airports and train stations, passengers are often asked to walk through an x-ray machine. They are then told to send their belongings through another x-ray machine. Finding a sensible way to manage checkpoints without passengers having to wait long periods of time can be challenging for those designing the security procedures. One of the most popular solutions in small and large airports that has caught on in other security checkpoint situations is the use of roller conveyors. Passengers place their personal belongings in plastic bins and slide them down a roller conveyor. The bins pass through a small x-ray machine while the individual passes through a larger x-ray machine designed for people. The person meets their bins in the other side.
How It Works
When bins are placed directly in front of roller conveyors, people are more likely to use them. Items such as jackets, shoes, bags and purses can ride together in one bin as it goes through the x-ray process. Passengers may choose to use separate bins for their shoes or coats, depending on their size and personal preference. They place their items in the bin and slide it across the track, which feed directly into the scanning machine. As security staff screen items, they can stop and go as necessary without powering on and off conveyors. This also allows personnel to slow things down momentarily if necessary to ensure safety. The bins are made to fit on the conveyors and will slide easily with little pressure applied. When screening is complete, the passengers meet their belongings on the other end of the screening area, where bins and their contents slide down a conveyor roller for pick-up. Those passing security measures then take their belongings and leave.
Powered Versus Non-Powered
Hand-fed roller conveyor systems allow passengers to fill bins at their own pace. They also allow people behind them in line to prod them along by pushing their own bins and causing a chain reaction of movement. A study at a Texas airport included several strategy tests with passengers using roller conveyors that were pushed by hand. Results found that lack of power was helpful. Powered and moving conveyor belts were disruptive, especially those which had power fluctuations.
For businesses considering implementing a security checkpoint at entertainment venues, and transportation hubs, a common method involves using a system where patrons must remove outer layers of clothing, including shoes and jewelry before entering the x-ray scanning machine. Putting these items through a scan is necessary, but can damage delicate objects when they are confined in a single container on a bumpy surface. The roller conveyor system should be smooth, with rollers placed close together to avoid the container bottoms catching on the rollers. Each bin should have a flat bottom, leaving patrons the option of which items to place together in their bins and which will ride alone in a separate bin. Small cups can be placed inside the bins for jewelry and money to minimize the chances they will get lost or broken in the process. Items should not be placed on the roller track without bins to avoid jamming and derailing.
When designing a roller system, the study found that there should be three to four feet of roller track feeding into the x-ray machine and six to eight feet of roller track leading out of the machine. This system allows for an orderly security checkpoint that minimizes the wait time for patrons.

Your description on Roller Vibratory Conveyor is mind blowing and you also define how it actually works which i have never seen anywhere. Thanks for your efforts
