MFE-150 - Lateral Chain Feeder for Moulders

The Lateral Chain Feeder Model MFE-150 is designed for continuous feed up to 150 feet per minute of fixed or random length pieces into a moulder.

OPERATION PRINCIPLE

On the feed table, boards are automatically placed along the feed line by perpendicular strands of chains. A pneumatic system lowers chain carriage between each feed cycle, thus preventing unnecessary friction between the piece being fed and the reserve material. Boards are automatically driven in sequence by a combination of two powered wheels located under the material and two top pressurized wheels.
