Mid-America Store Fixtures is overseeing the liquidation of a modular, energy-efficient conveyor system manufactured by MHS (formerly TGW/Ermanco)—trusted names in warehouse automation and material handling. This system is designed to efficiently move cartons and packages with modern motor-driven roller technology and automated divert/transfer functionality.

• Location: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
• Equipment: Modular MHS (TGW/Ermanco) conveyor with MDR (Motor-Driven Roller) zones and right-angle transfers

Manufacturer: MHS (formerly TGW/Ermanco)

TGW’s U.S. conveyor branch became MHS, with both brands recognized for reliable material handling and automation equipment. If you’re looking for a proven platform for fulfillment, distribution, or light industrial packaging operations, this system is built on that lineage.

MDR (Motor-Driven Roller) Zoned Conveying

Instead of a single large motor driving long belt runs, MDR uses individual 24V DC motors integrated into select rollers.

Practical advantages of MDR zones:

• Zoned control: sections can start/stop independently
• Accumulation without product collisions: boxes can be held and released smoothly
• Energy efficient operation: motors run only where needed
• Modular layout: easier reconfiguration and expansion compared to traditional long-drive conveyors

Automated Right-Angle Transfers

The system includes automated mechanisms that enable packages to be diverted 90 degrees off the main line (commonly pop-up belt or pop-up chain style transfers).

Typical uses:

• Sending cartons to different destinations (lanes, chutes, or lines)
• Routing product to packing, labeling, sortation, or staging areas
• Improving line flow without manual handling

Ideal Applications

• E-commerce fulfillment and parcel handling
• Distribution centers and 3PL operations
• Packing and shipping lines
• Light manufacturing and kitting operations

This event is an opportunity to acquire a respected conveyor platform with modern MDR zone capability and automated transfer functions—well suited for operations looking to add or expand conveyor capacity while leveraging modular, energy-efficient technology.
