Kern 40 Mail Wrapping System

Developed in response to the multifarious demands of the market and with an eye to the needs of operators, the Kern 40 has been designed and built with two guiding principles in mind: simplicity and versatility.

Cost effective
Advanced electronics and a touch-screen control panel enable operators to switch quickly and easily from one type and size of product to another. This results in shortened preparation times between jobs and a significant increase in output.
Because the use of mechanical parts has consciously been kept to a minimum, maintenance and service intervals could be lengthened, resulting in reduced costs.

High quality
The Kern 40 achieves impeccable quality through the electronic monitoring and control of all aspects of production. In every case, the final product is wrapped perfectly - regardless of its size and thickness.
To pass from a piece 0.1 mm thick to one that is 40 mm thick - without any reduction in quality - is a matter of course for the Kern 40.

Modular and flexible
The Kern 40 Mail Wrapping System is completely modular. Your initial investment is protected, because you can upgrade and expand the system at any time to meet changing needs.

Different types of feeders (shuttle feeder, rotary feeder, friction feeder, gadget feeder) enable you to collate all kinds of products - from single sheet to books, from coupons to magazines, from business cards to CDs. Various types of plastic film can be utilised to wrap the resulting groups.

Products can be addressed and personalised in two different ways. In the first case, the addresses are printed directly on the products or their wrappers. In the second case, pre-printed address labels are affixed to the product or wrapper.

If required, the plastic film can be shrunk to fit in the Kern 40’s shrinking tunnel.

Once products have been wrapped, they can be collected on an output conveyor belt or stacked by means of a stacking module. The built-in PC makes it possible to manage output according to postal criteria.

The Kern 40 is capable of working together with other finishing systems (e.g., binders, saddle stitchers) by virtue of its interface modules. Such modules can also be used to feed “difficult” products such as wired calendars or agendas.

Wide range of uses
The extraordinary versatility of the Kern 40 makes it suitable for use in a variety of mail-related fields.

Examples:
Paper manufacturing, Digital printing, Bookbinding, Direct marketing, Newspaper and magazine distribution, Publishing, Public administration, Advertising.
