2214 High-Performance Feeding Technology for Mail Processing Machines

Abstract

A letter sorting machine separates pieces of mail one by one from a stack of various types of mail, reads information such as their postcodes and addresses, then stacks and sorts them according to the reading results. Recently, the performance requirements for such machines have become increasingly stringent in overseas markets. In order to meet these requirements, Toshiba has developed a world top-class technology that can process more than 43,000 pieces of mail per hour, employing an air-absorption technique. This technology will facilitate our further expansion into overseas markets.
