InoTec SCAMAX 8x1 Model 821 Production Scanner

InoTec SCAMAX® 8x1 Model 821 — Flagship Power Tower Production Document Scanner

The SCAMAX® 8x1 Model 821 is InoTec’s ultimate production scanner — scanning at 300 sheets/minute (A4 landscape, 200/300 dpi, bitonal and colour) from a floor-standing unit with just one square metre of footprint. It exceeds the throughput of many open-track scanner installations, while dramatically reducing space requirements and total cost of ownership for years to come.

Designed for the most demanding five- to six-digit daily scanning operations — from high-volume mail centres and banking document processing to national archive digitization projects — the Model 821 is the definitive InoTec production scanner. Made in Germany.
