Which MBM pressure sealer fits your volume
Mid-State Litho carries five MBM pressure sealers. They differ mainly in forms per hour and in how many forms the feeder holds. MBM's sealers are built by Paitec, and the full brand lineup sits on the Paitec pressure sealers page.
- ES 2500: 3,000 forms per hour from a 150-sheet feed table. The pick for lower-volume form processing in a small office.
- ES 5500 (this machine): 5,500 forms per hour from the same 150-sheet desktop format.
- ES 8500: up to 9,000 forms per hour from a 700-form feeder, rated to 130,000 forms a month. The tabletop step up in throughput.
- IM 8500: up to 7,000 forms per hour, and it can run inline with a laser printer or standalone from a 700-sheet feeder.
- MX17000: up to 17,000 forms per hour from a 1,400-sheet auto-lift hopper, rated to 500,000 sheets a month, on a desktop footprint.
Stepping up from the ES 5500 usually means the ES 8500 for more forms per run, or the IM 8500 if you want sealing to happen straight off the printer. If the sealer is one step in a larger self-mailer workflow, the rest of the line is under mailing equipment.
