Abstract
A grommet module includes a grommet container for loosely receiving grommets as bulk material, a conveyor device that can rotate about an axis of rotation, and a conveyor rail extending along a longitudinal direction. The conveyor device conveys grommets from the grommet container to the conveyor rail. The conveyor device is formed by a grommet conveyor wheel, the horizontal axis of rotation of which runs at a right angle to the longitudinal direction. The grommet conveyor wheel has trough-like recesses forming in each case a chamber for the grommets.
