Dematic's new Rapistan Modular Conveyor System (MCS) offers improved carton control, quieter operation, and less energy consumption than traditional conveyor systems.
Designed from the ground up
We designed MCS from the ground up to increase operational flexibility. As business changes, customers can make changes to their conveying solution and not have to start over with an entirely new conveyor. Being able to drop in new modules or change configurations will give companies the flexibility needed for the ever-changing requirements they are facing today.
Built on a universal side channel
All the conveyor modules are built on a universal side channel. Modular conveyor sections available to build a system include roller or belted straight sections, curves, inclines/declines, right angle transfers, steerable wheel diverters, etc. The modules use many common components so unique parts are minimized and fewer overall parts are required to be kept on hand, making it easier to maintain transfers, steerable wheel diverters, etc. It can also be easily retrofitted into existing conveyor systems.
Highly configurable
The Rapistan Modular Conveyor System can be configured with motorized rollers, standard AC drives or variable frequency drives. Carton control is optimized through an available segmented belt conveying surface with automatic tracking and self tensioning belts. Controls are mounted onboard and are connected with CAN Bus allowing parameters such as conveyor speed, accumulation mode and sleep mode, to be adjusted locally or from a central location.
