In this article we talk about the Nautilus Hyosung MoniSafe 400A in comparison to the 16 drum CIMA 7016 teller cash recycler. Both of these units are larger capacity than is standard on the market, and each offer their own pros and cons. There has been a lot of market buzz surrounding the MoniSafe 400A based on the reputation that Nautilus Hyosung has built in the market as an innovator and a company that builds quality products. The CIMA brand name, may not be as widely known, even in the US market, as the Hyosung brand, but don’t be fooled it doesn’t back down from a challenge. QDS offers both of these these cash recyclers and we aim to give an honest review of each product so you can decide what makes the most sense for you.

As a cash automation provider who carries both RSM based recyclers and cassette based recyclers, we often get asked which is better? It's a very valid question and the simple answer is, "it depends". Each technology has its pros and cons, so it's important to understand what is best for your particular environment. As a side note, most of the Cash Recyclers manufactured in Europe are RSM based technologies. The Cash Recyclers made in Asia tend to be cassette based. I think one driving factor of this is how many different types of notes are in those perspective areas. Most of the Recyclers out of Asia tended to have four-note denominations that mattered, where as in Euro and USD, the denominations required are more like five or six for recycling applications.

A cash recycler is an amazing wonder of technology, even to those of us in the business. I am reminded when I am on-site for installs, when those first few transactions happen, the wow factor that comes over the staff and myself seeing the machine in action is palpable. So, how do these wonderful machines work?

As someone who spends the majority of his time immersed in cash automation technology, I figured our customers appreciate good, honest research and opinion. As an independent company, QDS has access to a wide range of cash recyclers from all over the world and we have supported many of the current brands today from a service perspective. Full Disclosure: we ARE a Nautilus Hyosung dealer.
