PRC330 Coin Sorter

The PRC330 Coin Sorter is a professional coin sorting and counting machine developed by Procoin GmbH, a former German company specializing in cash-handling equipment. Designed for high-volume coin processing, the PRC330 is widely used in banks, retail, vending, gaming, and other industries requiring efficient and accurate coin management. Known for its robust rail-based sorting mechanism and advanced coin recognition technology, the PRC330 is capable of counting and sorting up to eight different coin denominations in a single pass.

Design and Features

The PRC330 is built with a high-capacity hopper that can hold up to 3,000 coins, enabling continuous operation for large coin volumes. It utilizes a gravity rail system to sort coins, ensuring reliable separation based on denomination. The machine incorporates the Coinsure Adaptive® Sensor, which detects and rejects foreign coins, counterfeit coins, or non-conforming items, directing them to a dedicated rejection channel.

Key features include:

• Mixed Value Counting: Capable of counting and sorting up to eight coin denominations simultaneously, with a maximum speed of 600 coins per minute.

• Flexible Sorting Options: Coins can be directed into coin boxes or up to eight parallel bag holders. An optional system for producing coin rolls is also available.

• User Interface: Features a large LCD display and a membrane control panel for intuitive operation. The machine supports nine independent cashier memories and programmable batch-stop functions for precise coin counting.

• Optional Accessories: Includes connectivity options for external thermal printers, barcode readers, PC integration, and monitoring systems. A dust filter tray is recommended for environments with contaminated coins to maintain the machine’s longevity.

• Coin Specifications: Processes coins with diameters ranging from 14.0 mm to 34.0 mm and thicknesses up to 4.0 mm, making it adaptable to various currencies (standard configuration for Euro or PLN).

Related Models

The PRC330 is part of Procoin’s broader PRC series, which includes models like the PRC100, PRC110, PRC210, PRC220, and PRC420. While sharing similar electric control components, these models differ in channel configurations and sorting capacities. The PRC420, for instance, is another high-speed rail-based sorter designed for larger-scale operations.
