Product overview

NGZ Cash offers a comprehensive cash management technology portfolio centered on high-tech sorting machines, packaging equipment, cash-recycling systems, and individual devices for banks, retailers, and service providers. The product range includes the CoinDepo self-service coin deposit series (models 401, 405, and 424) for customer-facing coin recycling; note modules CM18 and CM18B for banknote cash-recycling; coin modules CC3R and CR40 for coin cash-recycling; the Newton 3 and Newton 3 V banknote sorters (heavy-duty with and without fitness checking respectively); and the NGZ 208 coin lift series in three height variants. These products form an integrated ecosystem where modular components — note modules (CM18/CM18B) and coin modules (CC3R/CR40) — can be combined into complete cash-recycling solutions, while the CoinDepo creates a separate customer-facing Münzkreislauf (coin cycle).
