The Mekel MACH 12 microfilm scanner is a production scanner that can scan and convert various types of microfilm into high-quality digital images, including (as standard): 16 mm, 35 mm, up to 1.000′ roll film, and 3M / ANSI / Ektamate cartridges. Mekel MACH 12 microfilm scanner offers up to 750 dpi true optical resolution and scans 100′ roll film in less than 4,5 minutes. With the Mekel MACH 12 production scanner, 100% image capture accuracy and best possible quality are guaranteed.
Powered by Mekel Technology’s one-of-a-kind Quantum software (Quantum Scan & Quantum Process), the MACH 12 microfilm scanner offers unrivalled true archival image quality, capture accuracy with excellent tonality and depth of field, and sophisticated image processing of up to 1600 images per minute. Its 12-bit camera exceeds true optical dpi requirements for capture of books, newspapers, manuscripts, financial records, and more. MACH 12 ensures crystal clear scanning of small fonts and highly reduced images, and higher OCR accuracy as a result of better image quality. Ideal for service bureaus, corporations, government, archives, record managers and other organizations with large-volume microfilm scanning needs.

Quantum Software
Roll film. Ribbon scanning. Strip scanning. Complete capture. Quantum is the most advanced microfilm scanning and processing software on the market.
Quantum Scan allows you to: scan an entire roll of film in minutes (full roll ribbon scanning); detect all images and flag those that need review; ensure 100% accurate image detection with a host of manual & automatic features. Quantum Process makes it possible to: edit image detection and make changes to both, grayscale and bitonal image quality without ever having to reload a roll of film; store strips to make as many changes as necessary to obtain the highest quality images; process even poor-quality or degraded film without missing images.
Key benefits of Quantum Scanning & Processing Software include:
