VariSort™ Mixed Mail Sorter
Speed, versatility and flexibility to compete
The flats sorting solution
for the competitive environment
Postal deregulation is an extraordinary opportunity. Making
the most of it depends on selecting the right equipment. This
includes your sorting solutions, particularly for flats. Selecting
the right flats sorter could be what sets your organisation apart
from the competition.
How can a flats sorter make you competitive and profitable?
The answer depends on four factors - versatility, flexibility,
efficiency and scalability.
The versatile Pitney Bowes VariSort™ Mixed Mail Sorter efficiently
processes a wide range of flat mail - from clean to complex,
bound printed matter such as magazines and catalogues, small
parcels, poly wrap and even misshapen pieces - in addition
to standard sized mail pieces.
Sort more mail types - up to 38mm thick
- with fewer exceptions, higher efficiency
In postal processing a key objective is to minimise exceptions and
maximise your ability to say “yes” to customers. Our new flats sorter’s
unique industry leading technology makes it versatile. Choose between
an automatic feeder and/or single or dual manual feeders to accept an
unprecedented range of mail thicknesses and types.
You can sort pieces up to 25mm thick through the Automatic Feeder.
For even greater range, thicknesses up to 38mm can be sorted using the
Manual Feeder.
You’ll be able to sort more mail types - including padded, corrugated and
Tyvek® envelopes, magazines (both tabbed and untabbed) bounded print
material, misshapen pieces and most importantly, poly wrap.
You can efficiently configure it to precisely suit your mailstream
requirements. Choose between feeding mechanisms - automatic,
manual, or both. Additionally, there are options for scanning,
an inline scale, and output printing. The system is modular and
can be quickly upgraded at your site.
For today and into the future, with the VariSort Mixed Mail
Sorter you will gain a competitive edge in flats sorting that’s
hard to beat.
Automatic Feeder
Versatility and efficiency from end-to-end
This VariSort Mixed Mail Sorter configuration consists of an automatic
feeder, a high performance optical character recognition capability,
a high definition inkjet printer, a weigh-on-the-fly scale, and an inline
label printer. Software includes a database engine that can be modified to
accommodate sorting rules to suit your business needs.
Cut manual handling costs. Speed throughput
The VariSort Mixed Mail Sorter is designed for fast throughput with
minimal manual labour costs.
A high performance OCR and robust directory retrieval software help
read and resolve the greatest number of mailpieces. You minimise rejects
and reduce expensive manual sorts.
What’s more, a Quad-Direction OCR reduces manual handling of material
prior to production.
Reduce reflection. Improve productivity.
For standard imaging, a new OCR
camera and brilliant LED lighting
system combine to deliver a bright
and sharp image to the OCR System
that reads address information
through virtually all mailpiece
surfaces
including
highly
reflective poly wrap. The result?
A more automated throughput for
those difficult to sort pieces.
Camera Section
Flexibility and modularity to configure your business
for maximum profitability
Our new flats sorter is designed for fast scalability. You can roll up expansion modules and
have them up and running in a few hours. Start out with the size and processing power you
need today and quickly add more capacity when your business grows.
You can choose your output options to meet the specifications and workflow of your
mailstream. For example, if more than 80% of your mail is poly wrap, you can only
invest in a labeller that configures to your needs. Is demand for non-poly wrap mail
pieces
increasing?
Then
you can easily add an inkjet
printing system that produces
indicia, logos, or custom
imagery that you specify.
Is pricing flexibility important
to you and your customers?
Ask for 3D piece-sizing and an
optional inline scale system
that allows you to charge by
size, volume or weight.
Label Printer
Less labour. Less space. Lower costs
The VariSort Mixed Mail Sorter places more pockets on a smaller footprint for labour‑saving,
large‑scale, automated flats sorting in a smaller area.
Its stacker section features tub presentation, encoder-based tracking, and a fully automated
optional AutoTub bottom tier that requires no operator intervention. It can be configured
with as few as 3 or up to 150 AutoTub lanes and supports multiple tub configurations.
Take your first step toward flats sorting superiority
To win in the world’s most competitive postal processing market, you’ll need every advantage
you can get. With the VariSort Mixed Mail Sorter you’ll stand out as a market leader in
flat mail sorting.
Designed with
people in mind
Even though the VariSort Mixed
Mail Sorter is probably the
world’s most automated flats
sorter, it is also designed to
make operators’ jobs easier
and more efficient.
All key controls and offloading
are on one side of the sorter. The
ergonomically friendly dual-tier
stacker has “tub full” detection
with
automatic
redirection.
Integrated LCD displays make
stacking instructions easier to
view. Lift gates are air activated
for quieter operation.
Optional integrated takeaway
conveyors
streamline
tub
management and minimise
health and safety concerns.
A tub manifesting capability is
also built in.
