ITL Group Sales Director, Mustapha Hadj-Ahmed, said “By combining a coin mech and a bulk coin feeder, we are able to offer a product that is compact enough to fit into a number of different applications. The combination of the two different components results in lower integration costs and the BCV is designed for applications where a large volume of mixed coins are inputted, eliminating the time-consuming act of inserting coins individually.
