MailStream Direct

Direct mail processing has never been more competitive. Deadlines are tighter and margins have never been lower. To be competitive, you need the most productive inserting equipment available. Introducing the factory – remanufactured MailStream Direct Ultra-High-Speed Inserter.

Ultra-High-Speed Inserting. Models with 22,000 or 26,000 Max Cycles/HourThe MailStream Direct is the most successful ultra-high-speed inserter ever produced. These machines, which originally cost close to a million dollars new, are brought into the ISO 9000 factory, completely rebuilt, and modified for the direct mail industry and released with the new name: MailStream Direct (Direct mail). With a cycling speed of 22,000/26,000 pieces per hour, average net output to the conveyor including read and print is 11,000 to 18,000 pieces per hour.

Built-in Quality Control Sample DivertsUsing the inserter’s operating system, and dedicated quality control diverters, the MailStream Direct can divert based on true user-defined statistical samples or random samples. The QC process dedicates one of the divert bins for QC pieces. With an optional camera system, QC pieces can be identified within a barcode or OCR number, and then diverted.

4 Diverters to increase IntegrityDiverter 1 – missed envelope sealsDiverter 2 – mis-feed or double-feed piecesDiverter 3 – dedicated to quality control samplesDiverter 4 – output camera divert

Electronic Double-DetectionDouble feeds are becoming a common problem in the direct mail industry, especially with healthcare and financial industry mailings. The Mailstream Direct electronic double–detect system is the most advanced system in the industry, is completely automatic and does not involve any operator adjustments.

Parts and ServiceThe MailStream Direct is the most successful ultra-high-speed inserter ever built with over 1,000 systems shipped worldwide. US based manufacturing and parts supply ensures reliable and quick access to inventory of parts and service for many years. Self-maintenance is recommended and a formal factory-service training program is available. Backup support and service from the factory can be relied on for years to come.

Work Cell Efficiency. Reduced LaborThe Pitney Bowes ultra-high-speed Mailstream Direct is designed to maximize production rates and reduce labor. Labor saving features include:• Front loading envelope feeder• Vertical conveyor • Camera driven sorting and quality control system

Minimum Changeover TimeUnlike other ultra-high-speed inserting systems, the Mailstream Direct simplifies and reduces the time for job setup. Many of the procedures are completely electronic, with minimal operator involvement.

Highest productivity inserter designed for advertising mail manufacturers. Rotary Feeder• Up to 26,000 inserts per hour• High gloss single-panel• High gloss half-fold• High gloss multi-panel• Chromate panel• Prospectus-style booklet

Friction Feeders• Up to 26,000 inserts per hour• Open-end leading inserts• Z-folded inserts• Porous material

Ultra-High-Speed Read and Prints, Matching, and 100% MailingsMailingsMCS and Blue Crest have been selling Ultra-High-Speed read and print systems for almost 10 years.
