Simple Transportation Conveyor

A common question we get asked is "How can we use MDR in more conventional transportation conveyor applications? Sometimes you simply need "live roller conveyor" in a system where you're already using zoned MDR in other places and you would like to keep your entire conveyor 24V MDR. But when you add up the cost, 100 ft of MDR with typical 30" zones probably costs more than 100ft of conventional live roller with a single 460V motor. If you could get away with much longer zones to reduce the number of MDR's, the cost comparison becomes less of an issue.
