The cutting system Kern 996 processes a wide range of applications, offers great flexibility and is highly efficient. The Kern 972 single sheet feeder guarantees a high feeding capacity and ensures processing of up to 45,000 sheets per hour. The full capacity of the fast Kern inserting systems is thus optimally utilized.
Kern 996
Easy to use
The simple operation and touchscreen interface allow quick access to the system. The paper feed is automated and speeds up the set-up process.
Kern 972
Fast and quiet
The high feed capacity guarantees processing of up to 45,000 sheets per hour. Great importance was attached to a reduced noise level during development.
Input modules
Combinability
The Kern 996 cutter and the Kern 972 cut sheet feeder can be combined with all Kern inserting systems.

Kern 996 cutting system
Efficient feed module – the cutter Kern 996 processes a wide variety of applications, offers great flexibility, and boasts high performance efficiency. The ergonomic design and the touch screen interface allow fast system access. The automated paper feed accelerates the setup process. The paper flow is clearly visible and easily accessible, so adjustments take little time.
The paper transport is equipped for both pinless and pinfeed material. All common standard codes such as barcode, data matrix, OMR or OCR are processed reliably. The Kern 996 recognises and cuts out unprinted and unformatted ‘white’ zones (white paper) between two print jobs or in the event of interruptions. The GT grouping and deflection station deflects white, format and non-format documents.
Kern 972 single sheet feeder
The high feeding capacity guarantees processing of up to 45,000 sheets per hour. This ensures that the full capacity of the fast Kern inserting systems is optimally utilized. During development, great importance was placed on a reduced noise level, which means that the machine works much more quietly and therefore provides a more pleasant working environment. The ergonomics of the Kern 972 have been optimized to make operation more comfortable and user-friendly. This contributes to better handling and increases user satisfaction.
Another key advantage of the Kern 972 is the optimized reading range, which functions independently of code and position. This improvement ensures even more precise and reliable data capture and processing. In addition, the Kern 972 cut sheet feeder can be fully integrated into the mailFactory®. This opens new opportunities and areas of application that simplify workflows and help to achieve the goals in the mailroom environment even more efficiently.
