Cummins-Allison—MPS 4200 Currency Sorter
Cummins-Allison, the leading innovator and provider of coin and currency handling solutions, announced the availability of its new “strapper-ready” MPS 4200 currency sorter machine. As the only tabletop currency sorter machine in the United States and Canada to offer an automatic strapping option, the MPS 4200 was designed to satisfy increased productivity demands of multiple environments across the financial and casino industries. The high-performing MPS 4200 reaches a strapper processing speed of 1,000 notes-per-minute, making it the highest speed tabletop sorting machine available domestically. In addition to processing speed, efficiency and strapper-ready configuration, the MPS 4200 offers flexibility in its software-based customization that other machines do not. Fitness levels can be preconfigured to change at the touch of a button—another time-saving feature when sorting bills for different uses, such as the ATM dispenser or the teller drawer. The sorter also employs sophisticated currency-scanning technology to provide the highest level of counterfeit detection available. For more information, visit www.cumminsallison.com.
