Abstract (en)

A housing (10) includes a drive device (20) for driving sheet material (22) along a sheet material path (18). Two first drive transfer members (24, 26) are driven by the drive device (20) at different velocities. Removable processing modules (28, 30, 32, 33, 34, 36), located within the housing (10), each includes a pair of rotatable members (42, 44, 58, 60, 74, 82) forming a nip (40) which defines part of the sheet material path (18). Second drive transfer members (54, 56) co-operate with the first drive transfer members to transfer drive from the drive device (20) to the rotatable members (42, 44, 58, 60, 74, 82) and are so positioned to co-operate with one or other of the two first drive transfer members (24, 26) according to the desired function of the processing module (28, 30, 32, 33, 34, 36). The apparatus can be used for a number of different processing applications by simple replacement of processing modules. <IMAGE>
