Counting banknotes is only one stage of preparing cash. Bundles must also be banded, identified and moved to the next workstation. When these steps rely on repeated manual handling, assess the whole sequence before choosing equipment.

What the SBM 100 does

The MABAS SBM 100 combines banknote banding, inkjet printing on the band and automatic bundle ejection. Printed fields can include the branch, operator, date, time and transaction reference. The required fields and their data source should be agreed before installation.

Banding does not replace counting, authentication or reconciliation. Compatibility with an existing counter or sorter must be confirmed for the proposed configuration.

Define the workflow first

Specify the bundle format, approved tape, collection position and operator responsibilities. Confirm which information is entered manually and which is supplied by another system. A printed reference is useful only when it identifies the correct processing batch.

Test a complete processing cycle

Use representative banknotes and the intended consumables. Check band closure, print legibility, bundle ejection and the connection between the printed data and the cash record. Include replenishment and operator intervention when measuring processing time.

Compare results against the current workflow rather than assuming a fixed saving. For configuration details, see the MABAS SBM 100 product page and discuss the actual cash flow with MABAS.
