Test result Mis-counts.
As with any coin sorter, regardless of cost, miss-counts and jams are always going to occur
due to the thickness and shape of UK sterling coins. In our test the CS209 miscounted just 2
coins out of 11840, we noted that the coins miss-counted were all of the larger type coins. We
then discovered than when we reduced the amount of 2p’s being counted from 80 to the
standard UK bank bag of 50 we could not replicate the problem, this has lead us to believe
that the larger coins stack differently in the pots causing a larger pile to develop quicker and
therefore the possibility
of a coin “bouncing” back up off the top of a large pile and into the
path of the count sensor causing to mis-read an extra coin. Care should be taken that batch
quantities are not set to high for large diameter coins.
Conclusion.
A well design and constructed coin sorter and batcher that will fit well into the market place as
there is nothing currently available with this speed and robustness and clearly in some cases
match performance and suitability of the considerably more expensive CS730.
This machine should in no way be compared to the CS205 which is purely designed for light
use. The features of the bonnet clearing system alone put it head and shoulders above this
machine. Based on construction and design and market positioning I would recommend a
competitive price to be circa £600.00 + vat.
As with any coin sorter regardless of price, mis-sorts and batching mistakes are always
possible and I would also recommend that a customer purchases either a
to accompany the coin sorter as this would further speed up banking
and this would instantly spot any occasional miss-sorts before being put forward for banking
as shown in the test results.
I would recommend the CS209 to be suitable for clients counting up to 25000 coins per month
in smaller daily batches of around 1000 coins.
