De La Rue, the commercial security printer and cash sorting company, unveiled its new DLR7000, banknote sorter. Newly appointed Managing Director of the Cash Processing Solutions (CPS) division, Kevin Freeguard launched the sorter at The Currency Conference in Prague, Czech Republic earlier this year.
The DLR7000 offers bulk cash handlers, say the makers, improved productivity, performance and security in their cash processing centres.
Kevin said: “De La Rue has been developing bulk cash handling solutions for more than 30 years. We strive for innovation and combine this with our industry knowledge to create solutions that enhance our customers’ business needs. Our range of products and services have been designed to ensure our customers’ cash centres function in the most efficient and secure method for today and tomorrow. That takes real insight. With the DLR7000, bulk cash handlers can be assured of the most efficient and secure solution for their cash processing centres.”
The DLR7000
*Inertial corners is an added feature to enhance the repeatability of fitness testing, thereby ensuring the quality of banknotes being re-introduced back into the currency cycle
*The feeder has been designed to handle very poor quality notes and has a 4,000 note capacity, upgrading to 6,000 if necessary, making this the best in class feeder.
* on-site machine configuration, from sort modes to detector parameters, making this machine customer specific
*Modular design to enable integration with existing infrastructure and can be configured to enable it to adapt to changing customer needs; thereby avoiding costly and timely upgrades
* usability of the hardware with a graphical interface, supplying a flow of machine activity.
The DLR7000 is also equipped with the option of biometric access control. This will replace password entry and work in conjunction with a smart card. With biometrics, the presence of users will be guaranteed.
De La Rue has developed inertial corners, a hardware design that helps to flatten the banknote as it moves around the detectors, reducing the probability of note jams and ensuring the quality of banknotes that are re-introduced back into the currency cycle.
The feeder holds 4,000 banknotes and offers a continuous feed as air is blown onto the feeder separating the banknotes, reducing the number of possible misfeeds and delivering faster throughput. If required there is an extension module to increase the capacity of banknotes up to 6,000.
To reflect the inevitable technology advances and to maintain the security and integrity of banknotes, cash centres will want to upgrade the detector suite within their high-speed sorters. The DLR7000 has been built to accommodate the addition of more detectors, both electronically and mechanically, without the need to increase the space available.
Basingstoke-based De La Rue’s range of CPS hardware and software is currently in use by 500 commercial and central bank customers in more than 100 counties. For further information visit De La Rue’s website –
