X-Class Universal Sort
Bin System
The Future of Letter Sorting Is Here
Bell and Howell takes letter mail sorting to a new level. The X-Class Universal
Sort Bin System focuses on greater throughput, increased labor efficiency
and efficient use of floor space. Available in one, two or three-tier designs, the
X-Class System brings true modularity to sorter transports by enabling sorters
to easily adapt to changes in the production environment or application. And a
host of optional features, including bin displays, above-bin tray racks and below
bin tray drawers, only adds to the increased functionality.
To maximize productivity, the X-Class System has the ability to assign a
designated overflow bin to accommodate the spillover from a full bin. This
allows the sorter to continue processing mail with a full bin, instead of stopping
the system. Mail in the overflow bin can later be reprocessed without affecting
mailpiece counts. Indicators at each bin notify operators when the bins reach
75% and 100% of capacity.
The X-Class Modular Sort Bin System is characterized by four attributes:
modularity, improved up-time, compatibility and an ergonomic design.
