Cash automation is becoming a major trend of retail technology. Cash management solutions will usher in huge market demand in the future. Coin recycler and banknote recycler are core hardware in the cash management solution. As a major change device, coin recycler may be more important than banknote module in the retail cash payment solution. This article I’ll share my thought of how to choose a suitable desktop coin recycler for your cash payment solutions.
- Suitable module size
In desktop application scenarios, the coin recycler perhaps is not more compact more better. Suitable size is the key. The width of the module is preferably 300mm, which can ensure that the cash register can be placed on it while minimizing the space occupied by the counter. The height of the module should be between 290mm and 320mm, which can not only fit the size of the banknote module but also be convenient for users to insert coins.
- Larger recycling capacity
In retail applications, coin change is crucial. Therefore, the larger the coin recycling capacity of the coin recycler, the better. At the same time, if the coin recycling capacity is large enough, the configuration of the banknote module can be reduced, thereby saving the cost of the entire cash management solutions.
- Convenient machine cleaning
The module should have an overflow function, and the overflow box should ideally be placed at the back of the machine for easy access by staffs. Also, a collection function should be included whenever possible to facilitate machine clearing.
The above are the main principles for selecting a desktop coin recycling module. I hope you find them helpful.
Currently, SmartTec offers the CR8 coin recycler, which generally meets the above requirements. The CR8 is similar in size, has a recycling capacity of nearly 5,000 coins, and is equipped with overflow and collection functions. If you’re interested, please click the picture to know more details.
