Cleaning a currency counter will extend the life of the
machine, reduce service calls and improve the efficiency of the machine. However,
an improper cleaning can do more harm than good so it is very important that it
be done properly. Machine should be cleaned weekly.
To properly clean a money counter you need a source of
compressed air. This can be canned air which can be purchased from any office
supply store or from you money counter supply company or you can use a air
compressor to supply the compress air, a bill counter cleaning card and a lint
free cloth.

Start out by removing power and wiping the machine surfaces
down with a lint free cloth. Then use the compressed air to blow out the dust
throughout the machine. Blow the air into all the openings on the machine
including openings in the bottom plate. This will remove dust from all the sensors and
from the rollers and inside the machine. Then re-attach the power to the
machine and turn it on. Run a few bills through the machine. Open the cleaning
card foil packet and insert the card into the machine much the same as you
would insert a bill into the machine. The card will run through the machine and
clean the wheels and sensors along the way. If the card is especially dirty
when it exits the machine then consider running a second card through. Never
re-run the same card through the machine more than once.
Now you are finished. If possible keep the machine powered
off and covered by a dust cover during extended periods on non-use. Your Currency Counter should last you for
years if properly maintained.
