Belted Motorized Driven Roller (MDR) Conveyor Systems

Uses for Belted Zones in Motorized Driven Roller (MDR) Applications:

• Handling of irregular or small packages which are problematic to convey on traditional roller bed conveyors
• Handling of packages where prompt and reliable stopping is required which may be problematic to convey on a roller bed conveyor
• Incline and decline applications where it is desirable to start and stop conveyors to accumulate packages on the incline or decline section of the conveyor
• Check weigher or scale applications where a low costs motorized roller can be used in place of a standard drive to eliminate other drive train components

Operational Advantages

• Higher friction levels between the product and the belt as compared to a roller zone
• Ability to accumulate product on an inclined or declined zoned conveyor
• A flat, continuous conveying surface free from valleys present on traditional roller zones
• Quick and responsive acceleration and deceleration of packages and product
• Potentially lower inertia than a close center roller zone
• Potential lower cost than a close center roller zone
• Fewer piece part counts than a roller zone (when applicable)

  MDR Conveyor Features Include:

• Low power consumption
• Long motor life
• Achievement of desired speeds
• Long belt life
• Low maintenance
• Zone lengths, frame widths, roller spacing, and speeds are all configurable to your application!
• Walk-through lift gates are available allowing increased operator access without the extra weight of a standard conveyor
• Low pressure washdown rated components (upon request)
• Stainless steel construction
• All drive components are “plug and play” resulting in minimal maintenance and fast troubleshooting/repairs
• Common components are used throughout a line, resulting in fewer spare parts
• Optional pneumatic stops, pushers, turners and casters
