What it runs

The everyday machine

The width most mailing and print work falls inside, on a frame that does not mind a stack with a mind of its own.

  • No. 10 and 6 x 9 envelopes
  • Stuffed and lumpy envelopes
  • Self-mailers and folded work
  • Glossy and coated stock
  • Booklets and thin catalogs
Why it does not double

No nip point on the R-14

The piece meets the separator and buckles instead of getting pinched between two rollers. One leaves the stack, the one under it stays where it is — which is why uneven, glossy and stuffed work runs off the same pile as everything else.

Stuffed envelopes are uneven by definition — thicker at one end, sometimes at the corner. Buckle separation works off the leading edge, so the lump behind it stops mattering.

  • Three independently adjustable separators
  • Rear belt guides, so the feed belts can be repositioned even while the job runs

What goes on it

Four options, all of them available on the R-14. Leave off the ones the job does not need.

Accelerator

Sets the gap into your line and holds it as the run heats up.

Counter

Counts what actually fed, so the number on the screen is the number in the box.

Batch and on demand

Stop on a count, or feed one piece each time the machine downstream asks.

Stand and conveyor

Height-matched to the equipment it feeds.
