The Doucet Lateral Chain Feeder Model MF is designed for continuous feed up tp 300 feet per minute of fixed or random length pieces into a moulder or a rip saw.
Operation
- On the feed table, boards are automatically placed along the feed line by perpendicular strands of C2060 chains.
- A pneumatic system retracts chain carriage when the feeder is filled to capacity thus preventing unnecessary friction on material.
- Boards are automatically driven in sequence by four hydraulically powered rolls, two top side and two under side.
