For more than 25 years MOl has produced the industry-standard lateral chain feeder. It was solid, fast and dependable. Now, we have reinvented the wheel.  Design changes based on specific user input make MOl's new Lateral Chain Feeder easier to use, more versatile and more efficient.
For faster set-up, we moved all controls into one convenient place. Now the operator can adjust widths, heights, fence position and other crucial functions without moving around the machine. With its improved ergonomics, MOl's new design is safer, easier and less expensive to operate than any other chain feeder on the market.
MOl also reconfigured the head assembly to handle shorter boards - an important feature for waste conscious rough mills.
MOl's lateral chain feeder is a key component of any high-speed infeed or outfeed system. It can handle incremental or butt-to-butt feeding and always maintains fast feed rates and consistent spacing. It's especially suited to high speed moulding operations.
If you want to improve the efficiency of your rough mill, check out the new lateral chain feeder from MOL It's a vast improvement on a tried and true product.

Roll Feed (Moulder) - Moulder Feed Table
Roll Feed Table (Moulder)
             Click here to view Schematic Drawings
Features
Dual angle bumpers to reduce friction.
Straight feed-wheel to run cooler and
     feed more efficiently.
Bridge between machines to provide
     catch up area.
Easy adjustments for stock width
      and thickness.
Optional hold down wheels available
      for bridge.
Improving the little things in your plant to increase your production and add to efficiency can make a big difference in profits. We had a better idea for a Moulder Feed Table — an area overlooked even by the moulder manufacturer — and here it is!
We incorporated into our design vertical conveyor type rollers along the fence to eliminate the friction between the fence and the piece feeding through.  The dual angle bumper also reduces load against the piece feeding through.  The straight feed-wheel, not angled as bottom rolls, runs cooler and feeds better.
Also standard is a bridge for the gap between machines that provides a catch up area, reducing over speeding of the feed table. Optional hold down wheels can be added on the bridge.
Set up time is minimal — all adjustments are made by hand without tools. The bumper can be repositioned quickly and with solid clamping. A speed indicating dial is provided for repeating machine feed rate settings. An air cylinder with manual over-ride valve lifts the top feed-wheel when the moulder is not in FORWARD RUN mode. There is a self-locking hand wheel adjustment for the floating top feed-wheel height.  We know the importance of keeping your equipment running. For this reason we used a high quality modular 2 HP mechanical variable speed drive that you may obtain parts for nearly anywhere. Nothing to unbolt — all covers hinge to open for inspection, lubrication and maintenance. We have used hardened tooth sprockets with taperlock bushings throughout for ease of replacement. And all thru shafts of rolls are mounted in “T.L.” type bushings for fast replacement and minimum downtime should repairs be necessary.

RH-2 Random Length Hopper Feeder
Random Length Hopper Feeder, Short Stock
Features / Specifications
2 HP Hydraulic Power Unit
Photo Eye Sensing System
Air Operated Feed Actuator
Urethane Feed Roll or hardened toothed feed wheel
Second feed roll with hand valve and air
      cylinder for quick release
Hand Crank for quick set-up
Widths from 1" to 8"
Thickness from 1/4" to 2"
Lengths from 6" to 36" (inquire for different lengths)
Feed speed variable from 20 to 180 fpm
      (higher speed available)
JUST A SINGLE MOULDER OPERATOR can now easily process up to 180 fpm - and dramatically increase your production and profits. With Mid-Oregon's RH-2 hopper feeder controlling the flow, short random-length stock is automatically fed. It's the kind of high-speed production that efficiency experts admire. Yet our simple-but-rugged design requires only minimum maintenance, with negligible down time.
This air-assisted, hydraulic-drive feeder can be matched with any moulder, either installed free-standing or mounted directly to an existing assembly. It's easily adjusted to handle all stock widths from one to eight inches - and can accommodate lengths as short as half a foot.
If increased moulder production makes sense in your plant, our hopper feeder can help!
