An electrophotographic imaging system has a dielectric support member (DSM), a primary charging station configured to form a charge layer on the DSM, and an exposure station configured to selectively discharge the charge layer formed on the DSM, thereby producing a latent image on the DSM. The electrophotographic imaging system also has a development station configured to develop the latent image on the DSM with toner. The development station has a rotating shell, a rotating magnetic core within the rotating shell, and a sump. The development station also has a feeding apparatus configured to supply fresh developer from the sump to the rotating shell. The feeding apparatus has a feed roller, one or more feed magnets within the feed roller, and one or more take-off magnets within the feed roller. The feed roller is rotatable around the one or more feed magnets and the one or more take-off magnets.
