Motorized drive roll conveyor with tilt-up gate mechanism for zone-controlled product accumulation
Zone Control, Zero-Pressure Accumulation & Merge/Divert

MDR Conveyors — 24V Motorized Roller

Washdown-rated motorized drive roller conveyors for cases, trays, and totes. Each zone runs its own 24V roller, so product queues without contact, only active zones draw power, and traffic control lives in the conveyor instead of a PLC rack — from zero-pressure accumulation to multi-line merging and SKU-based sorting.

Case and pallet handling with zone-based accumulation.

24V Motorized Drive Roller (MDR) Zones

Each zone powered by an independent motorized roller. Zero-pressure accumulation ensures products queue without contact or back-pressure. Zone-to-zone communication enables intelligent traffic control with energy-efficient operation — only active zones draw power.

Buffering between process stages to absorb speed differences and downstream stoppages.

Accumulation Conveyors

Zero-pressure accumulation protects product from damage. Configurable buffer capacity measured in minutes of production. Photo-eye or sensor-based zone control. Available in belt, MDR, or roller configurations.

Merge & Divert Systems

Pneumatic or servo-driven divert mechanisms with photo-eye tracking for accurate product routing. Configurable merge angles and speeds, compatible with barcode and vision-based routing decisions.

Construction Standards

Built Different. On Purpose.

Every AQS conveyor shares the same sanitary construction DNA — continuous TIG welds, mirror-polished stainless, sloped drainage, and washdown-rated components — whether it carries a tray, a case, or a full pallet.
