Coin processing without heavy lifting
Sparkasse Hegau-Bodensee rebuilt its coin processing around ergonomics: EvoSort H9 with containers, SOUTH-Lift coin, SOUTH-Lift roll and a packing table, under a maintenance contract.
The bank
Sparkasse Hegau-Bodensee, based in Singen, serves the region between the Hegau and western Lake Constance with 22 branches. With SOUTH it rebuilt its coin processing so that nobody has to lift heavy loads of coins any more. It has worked with SOUTH since 2022.
The starting point
The bank previously used coin machines from other manufacturers. Coins were carried in bags and poured into the machines by hand; finished rolls were stacked and packed by hand.
The solution: lifts, containers, packing table
SOUTH rebuilt the workflow around lifts and containers:
- SOUTH-Lift coin feeds loose coins from the container into the machine.
- EvoSort H9 with container system sorts mixed coins by denomination straight into containers instead of bags.
- SOUTH-Lift roll brings finished rolls up to working height.
- Rolls are packed at the packing table, with no bending or heavy carrying.
Service
All machines are covered by a SOUTH maintenance contract.
In their words
“We used to haul coin bags; now the lifts do it. Our staff notice that every day.”
— Stanislaus Müller, Sparkasse Hegau-Bodensee
The result
Heavy manual work has gone from coin processing. Coins are no longer carried and poured; they move through the line via lift and container. That is easier on staff and makes the work more even.

Machines in this story
Continuous coin sorting into containers for cash centres and large main branches.
EvoSort H9 on a stand with pie-shaped containers of over 60 litres under the pockets: bags are no longer changed, the sorter keeps running, and full containers roll to the next step or dock to SOUTH-Lift coin to feed a wrapper or sachet machine.
Coin conveyor for cash centres and main branches.
SOUTH-Lift coin feeds loose coins from a container into a coin sorter, wrapper or sachet machine at up to 8,000 coins per minute, with a universal control kit for most professional machines on the market. Two container sizes let staff move up to 50,000 coins without lifting.
Roll conveyor from the coin wrapper to packing height.
SOUTH-Lift roll takes wrapped rolls from any common coin wrapper and lifts them to an ergonomic working height for packing into blisters, bags or boxes. Up to 120 rolls per minute, with a dust bin and a pocket for broken rolls.
Packing table for wrapped coin rolls in cash centres and main branches.
SOUTH-Pack table takes rolls from SOUTH-Lift roll or directly from a wrapper and lets one operator pack them into bag sleeves, sliders or boxes at up to 100 rolls per minute, with the whole line controlled from the table.
