\nIn today\u2019s food processing plants, hygiene, safety, and performance standards are constantly rising. In response to these demands, a new type of conveyor system is gaining popularity, particularly at the end-of-line stage for box and crate transport: the Storcan stainless steel MDR (Motor Driven Roller) conveyor, featuring Interroll\u2019s MultiControl technology.<\/span><\/p>\n

Still relatively uncommon in many North American facilities, this conveyor technology, when manufactured in stainless steel, offers a rare combination of modularity, safety, durability, and adaptability to harsh environments. That combination makes it an increasingly attractive solution for the food and beverage industry.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Stainless steel: the key to sanitary, humid, and cold environments<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Storcan\u2019s MDR is built entirely in 304 stainless steel with a hygienic finish, making it ideal for production areas that must meet strict sanitary standards. It resists corrosion, humidity, frequent washdowns, and temperature fluctuations\u2014conditions commonly found in meat, dairy, ready-meal, or seafood processing plants.<\/span><\/p>\n

    This material advantage clearly sets it apart from many modular or open-frame conveyors, which often wear out prematurely or pose a risk of cross-contamination.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Safe and energy-efficient 48V or 24V motorization<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      The MDR design is simple yet effective: each conveyor zone is powered independently by a RollerDrive low-voltage motor (48V or 24V). This decentralized configuration reduces electrical risk and significantly cuts energy consumption, as the conveyor activates only when a product is detected.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Compared to conventional centralized motor systems, this results in substantial gains in both safety and efficiency, especially in sensitive food production areas.<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. High-speed, pressureless transport of heavy loads<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Our industrial-grade stainless steel MDR is capable of high-speed transport of heavy boxes or crates, without compromising on stability or safety.<\/span><\/p>\n

        The RollerDrive is ideal for contactless accumulation, and when paired with the MultiControl bus interface, it can control up to four zones and four sensors independently. This makes it a strong choice for food production end-of-line or shipping areas, particularly in refrigerated environments, where throughput and robustness are critical.<\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Ultra-quiet operation for improved working conditions<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Thanks to its reduced mechanical friction, Storcan\u2019s MDR conveyor offers significantly quieter operation, an often-overlooked benefit that contributes to operator well-being. Lower noise also means less mechanical stress, resulting in longer component life and more reliable performance.<\/span><\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Modular flexibility = productivity gains<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
