Envelope Inserters Bound For US Mailing House

Six BB700 high speed envelope inserting systems have been sold by Buhrs to Advanced Image Direct in Fullerton, California (USA).

The new inserters complement five similar Buhrs machines already owned and operated by Advanced Image Direct.

The Buhrs BB700 Envelope Inserting System is servo driven and an upgrade from 14,000 to 16,000 products per hour was introduced at Drupa 2008.

It is available with rotary, shuttle and friction feeders.

Buhrs Americas' president and chief executive officer, Michael Aumann, said: "We are pleased to be playing a key role in the further expansion of one of the leading mailing houses in Southern California." Advanced Image Direct's president, Frank Verrill, commented: "Our very positive experience with Buhrs products and the BB700 specifically, led us to standardise on this workhorse product and to add six more machines to the five we installed in late 2007.

The machine operates at very high speeds and accommodates a broad array of envelope sizes and configurations, but we are particularly impressed with the intelligence built in to the Buhrs." He explained that the BB700 enables us to change over quickly from one job to another and it enables the company to fully integrate read and print capability, which enables it to keep pace with upstream digital imaging devices and maintain mail integrity throughout job runs.

Adding the six new Buhrs inserter systems is also set to increase production capacity to 80 million pieces per month.
