MTS I-STACKER

Propack have invested in two new MTS i-Stackers. The purpose of the i-stacker is to mechanise the sorting process of mail packs on the output of an inserter or inkjet system, either by mail break or batch count. The sorted items are presented to the operator vertically stacked and each batch counterbalanced by 40mm. With potential capacity of up to 2,000 mail packs means that the operator is not “chasing the belt” and is able to easily operate the inserter whilst also bagging or boxing the mail packs. This investment enables us to increase our productivity.

A very important benefit of the i-stacker is the ability to monitor sequence numbers, this ensures items are kept in sequence and any missing items are highlighted by the machine stopping. At the end of each project a CSV file can be extracted to prove that all records have being processed and the time they passed through the machine.

Additional benefits of the i-stacker are:

• It will accommodate envelope sizes from C6 to C4

• It is capable of sorting up to 15,000 packs per hour

• It will stack up to 2,000 mail packs

• It is an independent device and therefore can be used on the end of
any inserter

• Delivers significant improvement in productivity as operators do
not have to slow down the inserters

• It presents the operator with clearly defined, sorted mail packs

• Provides data which can be used as management information or as
an audit trail
