Publication number: 20100076593Abstract: A mail sorting system includes a transportation line for generating a mail stream of letters or postal items to be sorted, modules for processing the streaming mail and a delay device for reducing the speed of the mail stream from a first to a second speed. Separators divide the transportation line into two parallel lines, with the delay device being disposed in one parallel line. Mail can be transported slowly and therefore slower and simpler print modules can be used. Short transportation paths can be provided for time delay in the parallel lines, in such a way that the mail is handled carefully.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2007Publication date: March 25, 2010Applicant: SIEMENS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: Uwe Märtin, Armin Zimmermann
