Bell & Howell JetStar 1500 48-Bin Sorter – For Sale

Enhance your sorting operations with this Bell & Howell JetStar 1500 48-Bin Sorter!

The JetStar series from Bell & Howell (sometimes also referenced under Böwe Bell+Howell in international markets) refers to industrial mail and part sorting machines used in high-volume mailrooms, fulfillment centers, printing operations, and postal environments to rapidly sort pieces into multiple bins.

Description

Bell & Howell JetStar 1500 48-Bin Sorter Typical Features

  • Multi-bin sorting rack: commonly ordered with anywhere from 32 to 80+ bins depending on configuration and vendor.
  • High throughput speeds: many JetStar sorters process thousands of pieces per hour (e.g., older JetStar variants up to ~30,000 items/hour).
  • OCR / barcode reading: often integrated or optional, for high-speed automated optical character recognition and sorting based on postal codes or custom data fields.
  • Software integration: modern deployments typically tie into sortation control software (e.g., WinSort) to route mail/assets intelligently.
  • Modular construction: sortable bins arranged in tiers — for example, “X-Class 3-tier 48-bin” systems are explicitly listed in some Bell & Howell cataloging documents.

 

What “48-Bin” Implies

48-bin sorter generally means the machine has 48 separate output pockets where items can be directed. This lets you categorize mail or products into 48 unique destinations — useful for batch processing, distribution, departmental sorting, invoice routing, etc. In more advanced systems, these bins might be arranged in double-sided racks or multi-tiered vertical stack arrangements to save floor space.
