MFE-300 - Lateral Chain Feeder
The Lateral Chain Feeder Model MFE-300 is designed for continuous feed up to 300 feet per minute of fixed or random length pieces into a moulder.
MFE-300 Feeding wheels made of steel with hardened surfaces teeth
MFE-300 Motorized Guiding Tunnel
Characteristics
OPERATION: 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 over the material
