Pitney Bowes today announced it is expanding the availability of its Reliant™ Sorting Solution to the European Market, where its small-footprint design and robust capabilities will help small private posts provide fast, accurate and flexible services to their customers.  The Reliant can also meet the needs of in-house and interoffice sorting applications.  The Reliant sorter will be shown to European audiences for the first time at Drupa 2012 – Hall 4, Stand C04.

The Reliant Sorter will bring automation and full-integrity to three core market segments – incoming mail, outgoing mail and the processing of internal mail.  It is ideally positioned to enable small-mid volume mailers with a typical daily volume of up to 35,000 items per day, to react quickly to the new opportunities presented by a deregulated European postal market.

Modular in design, the Reliant sorter can be configured to suit a variety of environments and to handle greater volume as business needs develop. The system can process up to 18,000 letters per hour – or 10,000 if the inline weigh-on-the-fly option is used.

The Reliant sorter has the flexibility to handle a range of mail-types, up to C5 envelopes with a further upgrade option to handle C4 flats.  The system is single-sided and built on wheels – a seemingly small design point but one which enables businesses to effortlessly manoeuvre the sorter to the most convenient position.

Christoph Stehmann, Vice President European Customer Operations and Document Messaging Technologies Europe for Pitney Bowes, comments: “The Reliant offers convenience, creativity and control - enabling smaller volume mailers to maximise potential and build for the future.  Our solutions portfolio continues to grow, providing industry-leading solutions that help our customers meet the evolving needs of their own audiences.”
