Hilmot's Series 1000 Motorized Drive Roller Conveyor (MDR) is primarily used in the distribution sector for tote and case handling applications. Our standard series 1000 product line is highly versatile, easily configured, pre-wired conveyor sections driven by motorized rollers. Hilmot's MDR is pre-engineered to meet specific performance requirements, with many standard accessories available, such as wheel diverts, transfers, curves etc.

The Hilmot Series 1000 MDR conveyors have been installed in numerous distribution applications and have been operational in distribution centers across the United States for several years. Our customers are extremely satisfied with Hilmot's service and overall operation of the systems. There's documented evidence that these systems have significantly saved companies money in energy consumption and maintenance.

Hilmot's MDR is quiet, safe, requires low-to-no maintenance, and offers high speed and non-contact zero pressure accumulation. Hilmot's MDR can also accumulate on inclines, declines, curves, merges, diverts and can accumulate product without bumping, skewing or jamming. Intermixed products, such as totes, slave pallets and cartons can be handled simultaneously even when there are extreme differences in weights from one product to the next. Hilmot's MDR only runs on demand to advance product, thereby reducing energy consumption and overall noise generation as well as extending the functional life of the conveyor.

Hilmot's MDR consumes approximately 25-30% of what a comparable 460 Volt 3 Phase conventional conveyor system consumes, considering the same product specifications and throughputs. Hilmot's MDR is recognized by energy providers as an energy efficient alternative to conventional conveyor products such as Lineshaft, Belt Driven Live Roller and Chain Driven. In most cases energy providers offer shared savings programs that help assist companies in the investment of new energy efficient MDR equipment. Ask our sales representative to assist you in researching available programs in your area.

The Hilmot MDR operates extremely quiet when compared to conventional conveyor. One reason for noise reduction, as compared with conventional conveyor, the conventional conveyor typically operates constantly regardless of demand. Hilmot's MDR products will only operate on demand during peek operation and during low peek operation the system typically is not running due to the inherent run-on-demand feature of MDR, there is no sound generated when the zones are in accumulation mode, or when product is not present.

Performance Parameters

• Product weight range: 1 oz. to 40 lbs. per foot
• Minimum product length: 9"
• Speed range: 30 FPM to 300 FPM

Key Benefits

• Pre-wired, pre-mounted electrical components provide easy and economical installation
• Few moving parts reduce both maintenance cost and noise
• Low profile minimizes space requirements
• Each zone powered and controlled independently for maximum control capabilities
• Run-on-demand software selectively deactivates zones not carrying product, reducing noise, energy usage, and component wear

Why Hilmot Series 1000 MDR?

There are several advantages to choosing products from our standard line of components including:

• Safety. Hilmot MDR conveyor operates at a low voltage, allows the operator to work in an environment with no major pinch points and is measured in tangential force instead of belt or chain pull.
• Low Maintenance. Because Hilmot MDR conveyor doesn't require the change-out of motors, gearboxes and belts, it is virtually maintenance free. If your system does require maintenance, we stock critical spare parts at our warehouse and can provide same-day shipment. Our highly trained field technicians are also available to provide rapid, on-site support.
• Easy Installation. Hilmot MDR modular design allows for ease of initial installation and future modifications or layout changes.
• Quiet Operation. Hilmot MDR conveyor operates at a 65-70 dba noise level, significantly lower than standard conveyor operating systems.
• Cost Savings. Because Hilmot MDR conveyor only runs when the photo eye senses that a product is present, estimated cost savings range from 30-70% of conventional conveyors that operate continuously. And, due to increased throughput, Hilmot MDR conveyor has been shown to reduce the need for overtime, overall cycle time, inspection and rework.
