A conveyor section powered by a single Pulseroller Senergy motor drive roller (MDR) is mechanically linked with just 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, an end-user can easily assemble individual MDR zones like building blocks to make zero pressure accumulation conveyor subsystems. Instead of having a single 100-ft. accumulation conveyor with its 5HP, 480-volt gear motor, and its own air feed drop; you now have 10 manageable 10-ft. modular accumulation sections that connect together. You don't have to supply air piping, and your power sourcing can be as simple as plugging into a standard 120-volt household wall receptacle.

One of the greatest advantages of motorized drive roller conveyors is the fact that, with the proper control system strategy, MDR zones run just 10-50% of your operational time. Contrast this with conventional conveyors which typically run all the time whether they are accumulating product or not. This means you will enjoy significant energy savings with a Senergy MDR. Customers are seeing energy savings from 30 to 70%.
