C10 High-Speed Coin Sorter with Advanced Active Sorting Technology

The SmartTec C10 is a high-speed coin sorting machine designed for professional coin processing applications. Powered by advanced Active Sorting Technology, it can process up to 1,350 coins per minute and sort up to 9 denominations plus 1 reject category.

Unlike conventional coin sorting machines that rely primarily on fixed mechanical dimensions, the C10 combines coin recognition technology, intelligent control, and active sorting mechanisms to handle complex coin characteristics and different currency requirements.

With its automatic conveyor belt feeding system, large-capacity coin input, counterfeit detection, and user-friendly touchscreen, the C10 provides an efficient coin sorting solution for banks, cash processing centers, CIT companies, and professional coin handling equipment operators.

Advanced Active Sorting Technology-Beyond Traditional Mechanical Coin Sorting

Traditional coin sorting machines often depend on fixed mechanical structures, such as sorting rails, diameter-based openings, and gravity, to separate coins.

These methods can be effective for conventional coin types, but may face limitations when handling complex coin shapes, different diameters, or coins with similar physical dimensions.

SmartTec C10 uses Active Sorting Technology, combining coin recognition sensors, intelligent control software, and actively controlled sorting mechanisms.

After a coin is identified, the control system determines its designated sorting outlet and activates the corresponding sorting mechanism.

This approach offers greater flexibility when processing different currencies and challenging coin characteristics.

Four Challenging Coin Types SmartTec Active Sorting Can Handle

1. Polygonal Coins

Supports the sorting of polygonal coins, including seven-sided and twelve-sided coins. The sorting process is not limited to conventional circular coin shapes.

2. Same Denomination, Different Diameters

Can identify and sort coins with the same face value but different diameters, helping process currencies with different physical specifications.

3. Same Diameter, Different Denominations

Can distinguish and sort coins with identical or similar diameters but different denominations through coin recognition and active sorting control.

4. Extremely Lightweight Coins

Designed to handle very lightweight coins that can be challenging for conventional gravity-based or purely mechanical sorting systems.

Additional Advantages of Active Sorting Technology

Flexible Sorting Configurations

Different denominations can be assigned to designated sorting outlets according to customer requirements.

Programmable Sorting Logic

Sorting rules can be configured to accommodate different currencies, denominations, and application requirements.

Intelligent Coin Routing

The active sorting mechanism directs identified coins to their designated outlets according to predefined sorting logic.

Greater OEM/ODM Flexibility

The combination of recognition technology, mechanical engineering, and software control provides greater flexibility for customized coin sorting projects.

High-Speed Coin Processing Performance

The SmartTec C10 is designed for high-volume coin processing environments.

With a sorting speed of up to 1,350 coins per minute and automatic conveyor belt feeding, it helps reduce manual handling and improve operational efficiency.

Its 9 sorting hoppers plus 1 reject outlet allow multiple denominations to be processed within one machine configuration.

The batch counting mode supports non-stop, mixed, and continuous counting operations.

Advanced Coin Recognition and Counterfeit Detection

The C10 integrates SmartTec-developed coin recognition and counterfeit detection technology.

Its comprehensive coin detection system is designed to identify coin characteristics and distinguish acceptable coins from rejected or suspicious coins.

The product specifications state:

• Coin missed recognition rate: 0
• False acceptance rate: ≤0.5%
• Coin sensor tested by the European Central Bank (ECB)

Actual detection performance depends on the tested currencies, coin conditions, and test configuration. Contact SmartTec for applicable test information and supporting documentation.
