Hitachi ST-350F High-Speed Fitness Sorter & Currency Discriminator
The Hitachi ST-350F is a top-tier currency discriminator counter designed for organizations that demand both high-speed processing and meticulous banknote quality management. Ideal for financial institutions, casinos, and major cash centers, the ST-350F seamlessly integrates rapid counting with advanced fitness sorting and robust multi-currency support to drastically improve operational efficiency and compliance.
Superior Cash Quality Control (Fitness Sorting)
The primary advantage of the ST-350F is its ability to perform high-speed fitness sorting. This advanced feature automatically classifies banknotes by condition, immediately separating notes deemed unfit for circulation from crisp, clean bills.
- Benefit: Reduces manual sorting time, ensures that outgoing cash meets quality standards, and helps mitigate fees associated with deposits containing worn or damaged bills.
- Detection Criteria: The machine isolates notes with physical defects such as holes, tears, tape, heavy soil, stains, and folds, allowing you to maintain an optimal quality of cash.
Optimized Speed, Security, and Versatility
The ST-350F is built for high-volume environments, achieving counting speeds of up to 1,000 notes per minute for rapid processing of large batches. The large 500-note hopper minimizes reloading, and the dedicated 100-note reject pocket ensures that unfit or suspected bills are smoothly diverted without stopping the count.
For security, the machine utilizes bank-grade, multi-level Advanced Counterfeit Detection, including UV, MG, and IR sensors, providing a comprehensive barrier against fraudulent notes. Furthermore, its Mixed Currency Handling capability allows it to process and value different denominations and currency types simultaneously, making it an essential tool for global trade and multi-national businesses.
Ideal Use Cases
The compact yet powerful design makes the Hitachi ST-350F an essential cash management tool:
| Ideal User | Core Application |
| Banks & Credit Unions | Back-office processing, verifying mixed deposits, and ensuring cash fitness for ATM loading. |
| Casinos & Gaming Centers | Rapid counting and authentication of high-volume, unsorted daily cash revenues. |
| CIT & Armored Car Services | High-speed counting and sorting of bulk commercial deposits prior to banking. |
The intuitive 7” full-color touch screen simplifies operation, while features like Batch & Add functions allow users to quickly set batch totals or accumulate counts, reducing training time and increasing daily throughput. Weighing only 18 kg, this unit is durable, efficient, and built for consistent performance by Hitachi, South Korea.

1. What is the difference between a bill counter and a currency discriminator?
A standard bill counter is a "piece counter"—it tells you how many pieces of paper went through. A currency discriminator is a "value counter"—it uses digital eyes (CIS) to look at the bill, identify if it’s a $20 or a $100, and give you a total monetary value.
2. Is a currency discriminator better at catching fakes than a cheap counter?
Yes. Standard counters usually only check for magnetic ink or UV glow. Discriminators use Image Recognition, meaning they compare the actual artwork and security features of the bill against a high-resolution database. This is the only reliable way to catch "supernotes" or bleached bills (e.g., a $1 bill reprinted to look like a $100).
3. What does "1+1 Pocket" or "2-Pocket" mean?
This is one of the most searched terms.
- A 1-Pocket machine stops and beeps every time it finds a suspect or "unfit" bill.
- A 2-Pocket (1+1) machine has a separate Reject Pocket. It sends suspect bills to the top pocket while the main count continues without stopping. This is essential for high-volume environments.
4. Can currency discriminators count international money?
Most modern discriminators come with "Multi-Currency" modes. Because they rely on image scanning, they can be programmed to recognize the distinct designs of Euros, Canadian Dollars, British Pounds, and Mexican Pesos, often handling them all in the same stack.
5. Why is my discriminator giving a "CIS Error"?
This is usually a sign that the "eyes" of the machine are dirty. Cash is incredibly dusty; we recommend using cleaning cards or a microfiber cloth weekly to wipe the sensors. If the sensors are blocked by dust, the machine can't "see" the bill to identify it.
