BlueCrest MSE Models and Names We Buy

The MailStream Evolution platform has been sold and described under several BlueCrest and Pitney Bowes names over the years. You may know your equipment as:

• BlueCrest MSE

• BlueCrest MailStream Evolution

• Blue Crest MailStream Evolution

• Mail Stream Evolution

• Pitney Bowes MSE

• Pitney Bowes MailStream Evolution

• MSE inserting system

• MSE production mailing system

If your nameplate says Pitney Bowes rather than BlueCrest, that does not exclude it. ZAR buys and sells equipment from both generations of the MailStream Evolution platform.

MSE Configurations ZAR Is Looking For

MSE systems can vary significantly from one installation to another, so configuration matters when we evaluate a machine.

ZAR is interested in 3-station, 6-station, 8-station and other multi-station MSE configurations, including systems equipped for cut-sheet, continuous-feed, transactional, direct-mail, and flats applications.

We are particularly interested in MSE systems equipped with components such as:

• Friction and rotary feed stations

• High-capacity sheet feeders

• Continuous-feed or dual-input configurations

• Accumulators and folders

• Automatic or upgraded buckle chutes

• Cognex, Videk, OMR, 1D or 2D barcode scanning

• File-based inserting and integrity systems

• Cutters and pinless cutters

• Hunkeler unwinders and roll-feed equipment

• Flats capability

• Turnover modules

• On-edge or vertical stackers

• Delivery conveyors

• Updated PCs, controls, or operating systems

Don’t see your exact configuration listed? Send it anyway. MSE systems were built in many configurations, and optional modules can substantially affect an equipment valuation.

What Affects the Value of a Used BlueCrest MSE?

There is no single fixed value for a used MSE. Two machines of the same year can have very different resale values depending on their configuration and history.

When evaluating your inserter, ZAR will consider factors including:

Year and specific MSE configuration
The chassis, number of stations, input system, and installed modules help determine the equipment’s potential applications and resale market.

Cycle count and production history
Current meter or cycle information helps us understand how heavily the machine has been used.

Feed stations and input equipment
Friction feeders, rotary feeders, high-capacity sheet feeders, roll-fed input equipment, cutters, and accumulators can add significant value to a complete system.

Scanning and mail-integrity technology
Barcode cameras, OMR, Cognex systems, file-based processing, matching, and other integrity features are important on many transactional-mail applications.

Software, computer, and control upgrades
The computer platform, operating system, available software options, and any documented upgrades can affect both usability and resale potential.

Mechanical condition
A running production machine is useful, but ZAR will also consider machines requiring repair, refurbishment, or replacement of normal wear components.

Completeness and accessories
Stackers, conveyors, spare feeders, cameras, cutters, manuals, spare parts, and other equipment included with the system should be identified when requesting a valuation.

ZAR Has Real Experience With MSE Inserters

MSE equipment is not simply a model name on our wanted list. ZAR has bought, refurbished, marketed, and sold multiple MailStream Evolution configurations.

Our MSE equipment history has included:

• A BlueCrest 6-station MSE that was reconditioned and sold

• A 9-station MSE System 12 configured with three rotary feeders, six friction feeders, a high-capacity sheet feeder, barcode camera, accumulator, flats capability, and other production modules

• A dual-input MSE capable of processing both cut-sheet and continuous-feed applications

• A 3-station Pitney Bowes/BlueCrest MSE rebuilt with replacement belts, rollers, bearings, and other wear components

• A rebuilt BlueCrest MSE with a Cognex 2D camera and automatic buckle chutes

That hands-on experience helps ZAR identify the components and configuration details that matter when evaluating an MSE for resale.

We Buy MSE Accessories, Modules and Support Equipment

You may have additional equipment with value even if it is not part of the base inserter.

Tell us about any MSE-related equipment you have available, including:

• Friction or rotary feeders

• Sheet feeders

• Accumulators

• Cutters and pinless cutters

• Cameras and barcode scanners

• Integrity and matching systems

• Fold modules and buckle chutes

• Turnover modules

• Stackers and conveyors

• Hunkeler unwinders

• Controllers and computer hardware

• Spare parts and replacement modules

If you are removing an entire production line, send ZAR a complete equipment list rather than separating the components before requesting an offer.

Running, Idle or In Need of Repair? Send Us the Details.

Your MSE does not have to be freshly refurbished before you contact us.

ZAR will evaluate machines that are:

• Currently in production

• Operational but being replaced

• Idle or disconnected

• In need of mechanical or electrical repair

• Missing selected components

• Older or partially upgraded

• Part of a plant consolidation or facility liquidation

The condition will affect the value, but an older or non-running machine may still have useful components or resale potential.

What to Send for an MSE Valuation

The more information you provide, the more accurately ZAR can evaluate your equipment.

For the fastest review, include:

• Manufacturer shown on the machine

• MSE model or chassis designation

• Year

• Serial number

• Current cycle or meter count

• Number of inserting stations

• Friction and rotary feeder count

• Sheet-fed, continuous-feed, or dual-input configuration

• Cutter or unwinder information

• Camera/scanning and mail-integrity equipment

• Computer and operating system

• Output stacker or conveyor

• Current operating condition

• Known mechanical or electrical issues

• Facility location

• Whether the system is currently powered and available for testing

• Several clear photographs of the complete system

• Photos of the serial/data plate and major accessories

A running video is also helpful when available.
