Details & specifications
Three-foot variable speed tabletop conveyor
The Quadient RENA TB-390 is a tabletop mail conveyor that carries pieces from a printer or tabber to a stacking or drying station. It runs at variable speed, includes a drop stacker, and accepts an optional infrared dryer. The footprint is small enough for a crowded mailroom bench, and it works with the rest of the RENA line.
Key features
- Variable speed control, adjustable up to 120 feet per minute to match the machine feeding it.
- Built-in drop stacker for organized stacking of finished pieces.
- Optional IR dryer for fast drying of printed material.
- Compact tabletop design for small or space-constrained workstations.
- Cross-stacking model available: the 'S' model adds cross-stack guides and dryer integration.
- Pinch guards and motor stall detection for operator protection.

Applications
- Mailpiece output handling: transfers finished mail to stacking, drying, or sorting areas.
- High-volume print runs: keeps jobs moving through inline systems.
- Compact mailing environments that need tabletop automation.
Available options
- IR7C infrared dryer, which speeds drying on printed material and improves print quality.
- Cross-stack kit, which adds alignment guides and dryer mounts for the 'S' model configuration.
The IR7C 700-watt medium-wave infrared dryer mounts to the TB-390 and dries printed pieces as they leave the conveyor, which cuts smudging on coated stock. Mid-State Litho stocks it as a separate line item. See the 700-watt medium wave infrared dryer.
Benefits
- Automates conveyance after the print step.
- Reduces smudging and wait time when the optional dryer is fitted.
- Saves bench space with a lightweight, compact build.
- Works with printers, tabbers, and feeders.
- Rated for 5 years at high volume: 60 million pieces total, 1 million per month.
TB-390 or TB-690, how to choose
The difference between the two RENA conveyors is bed length and what sits at the end of it.
The TB-390 is a 3-foot tabletop unit. It weighs 50 lbs, runs 0 to 120 feet per minute, and its drop tray is included. It is built to sit on a bench next to a tabber or an address printer in a mailroom that does not have floor space to give away. Sell price $4,765.
The TB-690 is a 6-foot floor unit at 275 lbs, with adjustable-height legs and a stack assembly, and it runs in both directions. It takes the 1,000-watt and 2,000-watt dryers, which the TB-390 does not. Sell price $7,965.
Pick on bench space first and dryer wattage second. If the pieces are going straight into a stacker on a crowded bench, the TB-390 is the machine. If the line needs a 2,000-watt dryer or the conveyor has to feed in either direction, it is the TB-690.
Both are stocked and serviced by Mid-State Litho, an authorized Quadient dealer in Michigan.
Why buy from Mid-State Litho
Mid-State Litho has sold and serviced print finishing and mailroom equipment from Michigan since 1984. We are an authorized Quadient dealer, which means the TB-390 arrives from us installed and set up, not dropped on a dock.
Every machine ships with delivery, installation, and operator training. Service is in-house and factory-trained, and the Great Lakes service area is covered by our own technicians rather than a third-party dispatch. Parts for the RENA line are stocked.
The TB-390 ships freight at 50 lbs in a 40 by 20 by 14 inch crate, typically in 3 to 5 business days.
Frequently asked questions
Does the TB-390 come with a drop tray?
Yes. The drop tray is included and adds 19 inches to the conveyor length, for a total footprint of about 54 inches.
How fast does it run?
Zero to 120 feet per minute, variable, so it can be matched to the machine feeding it. Transport is four 1-inch friction belts with assist rollers.
What size pieces will it handle?
Minimum 3 by 5 inches, maximum 12 by 13 inches.
Can I add a dryer?
Yes. The IR7C 700-watt medium-wave infrared dryer is the optional dryer for this machine. It dries printed pieces as they leave the belt, which reduces smudging on coated stock. Mid-State Litho stocks it as a separate item.
How long will it last at volume?
The TB-390 is rated for 60 million pieces total and 1 million per month over a five-year duty cycle.
