Motorized Drive Roller (MDR)
The Future of Smart Automated Conveyor Systems


Our MDR can accumulate product without bumping, skewing, or jamming using advanced sensors and controls. Totes, pallets and cartons can be handled simultaneously even when there is a wide difference in weights from one product to the next. Our MDR conveyor features a plug-and-play 24V run-on-demand zones, only running when required to advance product. Warehouses and distribution centers rely on these conveyors for fast, smooth package movement.
The Future of Automated Conveyor Systems
Motorized drive roller (MDR) conveyor sections are sections that utilize a single motorized conveyor roller that is only mechanically linked with enough free-turning (gravity type) rollers to constitute a controllable zone. This zone is usually not much longer than the item to be conveyed. With the proper control system strategy, you can easily assemble individual MDR zones like building blocks to make zero pressure accumulation conveyor sub systems, particularly for traditional carton type handling applications.
Mainway Handling System’s Motorized Roller conveyor is available in various configurations to support numerous system applications. It is quiet, safe, eco-friendly, requires little to no maintenance, and offers high speed and non-contact zero pressure accumulation.
Our MDR can accumulate product without bumping, skewing, or jamming. Combined products, such as totes, pallets and cartons can be handled simultaneously even when there is a wide difference in weights from one product to the next.
Mainway Handling’s conveyor features run-on-demand zones. It only runs when required to advance product, thereby reducing energy consumption and overall noise levels as well as extending the functional life of the conveyor. Because our MDR is run-on-demand, there is no sound generated when the zones are in accumulation mode, or when product is not present leading to an extremely quiet warehouse environment.
