Multi-Conveyor, Winneconne, Wis., built a stainless-steel, semi-automatic, motor driven roller (MDR) conveyor to transport cases of frozen product. This unique system incorporates 13 drive zones, including six air shock-assisted powered lift gates, all in one common portable frame.
Hand packers work at each of the seven 3-foot-long gravity roller sections and manually lift the gates assisted with air shocks to support a gentle return to their base horizontal position. This allows the operator(s) easy access through the line, both to and from their workstation.
