FAQs – Cassida S5 / S9 / S13 Pocket Currency Sorters

1. What’s the difference between the S5, S9, and S13 models?
The S5 is the base 5-pocket currency sorter, ideal for branches and smaller cash centers. The S9 and S13 add more stacker pockets (9 or 13 total), giving additional output destinations for denominations, fitness grades, currencies, or customer accounts, which is perfect for high-volume or multi-criteria sorting.

2. How fast can these sorters process cash?
All three models share the same high-speed platform: up to 1,200 notes per minute in simple count, 1,000 notes per minute in value mode, and up to 900 notes per minute when doing serial number capture or full fitness sorting.

3. What types of sorting can the S5/S9/S13 perform?
They can sort by denomination, fitness (fit/unfit), face, orientation, and version/series, while simultaneously checking for suspected counterfeit or damaged notes, which are automatically routed to the reject pocket.

4. Can the systems be updated for new note issues or currencies?
Yes. The S5/S9/S13 support remote software and currency profile updates via LAN/USB, so your machines can be kept current with new note designs, security features, and firmware improvements without major downtime.

5. Who should invest in the larger S9 or S13 units instead of the S5?
Choose S9 or S13 if you handle very high daily volumes, need to sort multiple denominations or fitness categories in a single pass, or run a cash center, casino, or CIT operation where extra pockets reduce manual resorting and increase overall throughput. Smaller branches or locations can often start with the S5 and upgrade later as needs grow.
