Ingenious Feeder Solutions
The Kern 40 Mail Wrapping System can now be equipped with mobile feeders. These can quickly and easily be connected with or removed from the transport chain - or rearranged in a different sequence.

How is this possible?
Each feeder is mounted on a mobile feeder support. The same type of mobile feeder support is used for all types of feeders.

This device incorporates a mechanical coupling that enables rapid and simple engagement with the drive shaft of the wrapping machine.

Thus, a reconfiguration involving all types of feeders can be accomplished within a matter of minutes.

Mobile feeders can dispense their products in line with or from the side of the transport chain.
