Dematic MCS lineshaft conveyor

Dematic ANZ has launched a lineshaft conveyor, completing its MCS family of modular, integrated package handling conveyor systems.

Delivering fast, quiet performance, the entry-level conveyor can be easily swapped out for other conveyor technology within the MCS family as business needs change.

Offering operational versatility across a range of conveying applications, the product is suitable for handling products such as cases, totes, trays and parcels in distribution, manufacturing and 3PL operations with varying throughput and product handling requirements.

The system uses a universal side channel and standard components for all modules to provide the ability to change the function of a conveyor without having to replace entire sections.

The use of modular components provides standardisation with the same carrier rollers, motor-driven rollers, segmented belts, side frames, electronic sensors, motor controls, zone control logic assemblies, drive belts and other components used throughout all modules.

The conveyor also offers more drive options, using AC drive motors, DC low-voltage, motor-driven rollers or a combination of both. With this dual offering, the most appropriate drive system can be applied to any conveyor system layout.

The system can be easily integrated with other devices such as scanners, sorters, label printing and application devices, case sealers, inline weigh scales, palletisers and robotic picking and packing systems.
