BÖWE SYSTEC Shows Solutions for Transactional and Direct Mail Printers at PRINT 17
The Direct Mailer inserter, from BÖWE SYSTEC (Booth 841), will be making its North American debut at PRINT 17.
BÖWE SYSTEC (Booth 841) is demonstrating the benefits of its inserting technology for the transactional and direct Mail market at PRINT 17 with the Fusion Cross and the North American debut of the Direct Mailer inserter.
Fusion Cross
The Fusion Cross has proven that a Single Machine Type Strategy (SMTS) can have an impact for transactional and direct mail processors with a replacement ratio of up to 4:1 legacy inserting systems. It can automatically changeover between any folded or flat envelope size in less than five minutes and includes the user-friendly Cockpit operating system with easy to configure Recipe driven application programming. This market proven inserting platform provides the Direct Mail segment with unprecedented throughput and efficiency, dramatically changing the capabilities for their unique challenges and complexities.
Through continued R&D investment, the Fusion Cross now offers the most flexible enclosure feeding options for the demanding inserts that Direct Mailers face. The unique vacuum/friction enclosure feeder is capable of processing single page inserts through rigid, thick and heavy items with unparalleled abilities. The rotary feeder expands the capabilities for specialized inserts and both feeders can be equipped with an autoloader to expand their feeding capacity. The feeders can optionally be exchanged in minutes to accommodate specialized requirements such as tip-on gluing with hot melt glue applications.
The inserting Flow Principle reduces the relative speed between the envelope and the inserts during the insertion process by a factor of 4.5. This allows for a unique, patented, stable and gentle inserting process. In addition, three envelopes are filled at the same time which improves the overall operating efficiency to a new level. This higher efficiency applies to all envelope formats and thicknesses.
The ability to replace fleets of older single purpose inserters with fewer high speed, full integrity inserting platforms can now be realized yielding full production flexibility and a reduction in manpower and floor space.
Direct Mailer
The North American debut of the Direct Mailer now provides the integrity and flexibility desired by the mid-range inserting market segment. This modular designed platform is capable of processing up to 15,000 #10 or 6x9" envelopes per hour and up to 10,000 flat envelopes with full integrity and piece level tracking. It is available as a base only inserter or with the full complement of BÖWE SYSTEC’s cut-sheet and continuous form input channels and the intuitive Cockpit operating system. This provides the investment protection and equipment flexibility sought after by production facilities.
“With Fusion Cross, Direct Mailers can now embark on a Single Machine Type Strategy (SMTS) and reap the benefits of lower costs and greater efficiency within their mail production facilities by reducing the quantity of systems required and at the same time achieve greater flexibility and output,” says John Lombard, CEO BÖWE SYSTEC North America.
