Interroll MSC 50 - Brilliant Speed Control

Declining gravity roller conveyors are a cost-effective solution for many intralogistics areas in which boxes, containers, and cardboard boxes have to be brought together and accumulated for picking.

The new patented Interroll MSC 50 magnetic speed controller provides the optimal technical solution for controlling descending product speeds as it is brilliantly simple, efficient, fail-safe and reliable in operation.

Until now, the only things available were compromise solutions that work with different slopes, sliding plate, different rollers, elaborate drives, underslung brake beams, etc. The difficulty lies in finding the right slope for a reliable function.

Light goods must reliably start-up moving on descent, whilst heavy containers must not experience uncontrolled acceleration so as to cause product damage or result in personal injury.

The MSC 50 works on the well-proven eddy current braking principle exclusively available from Interroll and used for years in pallet flow systems. This component works like a gearless eddy current brake, integrated into an accepted quality Interroll series 1700 roller and operates completely maintenance and wear-free, without electricity and any complexity.

Interroll’s purely mechanical Magnetic Speed Controller MSC 50 provides a controlled speed on decline conveyors with material weights from approximately 0.5kg to a maximum of 35kg.

It is easy to install the same way as a conveyor roller and because of its bi-directional braking function, it cannot be mounted incorrectly. Different MSC 50 lengths and quantities can be used to scale the design and provide the ideal solution for your application or can be used for retrofitting existing gravity conveyor installations.

Interroll MSC 50 can also be easily retrofit in order to achieve greater throughput in a sustainable way and, at the same time, establish ergonomically-optimized workstations. It is also now available with the Interroll modular conveyor platform and is an ideal solution for sorting peripherals.

The spacing between the MSCs vary depending on decline and container weights, but during intensive tests the MSC 50 was completely convincing in extreme load and very challenging situations.
