Hitachi ST-350 High-Speed Mixed Currency Discriminator & Fitness Sorter

The Hitachi ST-350 is engineered to be the ultimate cash management solution for high-volume environments, including commercial banks, credit unions, and cash-in-transit (CIT) operations. Combining exceptional speed, multi-currency processing, and advanced fitness sorting capabilities, the ST-350 transforms bulk cash handling into a simple, highly efficient, and secure process.

Benefits for High-Volume Cash Operations

1. Seamless Mixed Currency & High-Speed Processing

The ST-350 operates at a high speed of 1,000 notes per minute for value counting, drastically cutting down reconciliation time. Its true value lies in its ability to simultaneously process bills of mixed denominations and mixed currency types, automatically calculating the total value. The large 500-note hopper allows for heavy continuous feeding, while the separate 100-note reject pocket ensures that questionable bills are isolated without ever interrupting the counting flow.

2. Bank-Grade Security and Fitness Sorting

This machine features advanced security with a multi-sensor counterfeit detection system, including UV, MG, and IR technology, ensuring that every bill counted is authenticated with confidence. Beyond authentication, the ST-350 is a precision fitness sorter. It automatically analyzes banknotes for physical condition, efficiently separating crisp, fit notes from worn, damaged bills (e.g., those with holes, tears, excessive soil, or tape). This function is critical for maintaining high deposit standards and ensuring the quality of notes for reissue.

Ideal Users and Applications

The Hitachi ST-350 is ideal for any organization that requires bulk processing and high-level security:

• Financial Institutions: Banks and Credit Unions utilize it in cash centers and back offices for high-volume deposit reconciliation and fitness sorting.
• Cash-in-Transit (CIT): Use for rapid counting and authentication of large, unsorted cash deposits.
• Casinos and Vending Operators: Excellent for quickly processing large volumes of mixed, unverified cash from slot machines and kiosks.

The intuitive 7-inch full-color touch screen and preset Batch and Add functions further streamline operations, minimizing training time and maximizing user efficiency. Built in South Korea, the 18 kg (39.7 lbs) unit offers a robust, compact, and durable design built for years of heavy daily use.
