Dematic has introduced a new modular conveyor system (MCS) to Australia and New Zealand that can handle a range of conveyables such as cases, totes, trays or parcels in high throughput distribution or manufacturing, or where handling requirements are repetitive.

The MCS offers a range of modules to enable flexibility when relocating or reconfiguring. It uses standardised carrier rollers, motor driven rollers, segmented belts, side frames, electronic sensors, motor controls, zone control logic assemblies, drive belts and other components.

It also uses a universal side channel and standard components for all modules so its users can change the function of a conveyor without having to change-out entire conveyor sections.

A right angle transfer can easily be inserted into a section of conveyor without affecting operational performance, Dematic says. Such modifications can be made without removing or replacing sections of conveyor.
