Equipment for Minting Technology Forming the Future

Innovative equipment for new challenges in minting technology The manufacture of coins has always been especially demanding. In addition to quality and output rate, one of the most important criteria for cost-effective production is the multi-functional use of the equipment. Over and above their function as a means of payment, coins Schuler provides innovative solutions for new challenges such as and medallions are also ”calling cards” for the individual coun- tri-metal coins, new material combinations or security features. try – often desirable collectors’ items, awards and artifacts of a...

The ST 50 S can process blanks in the diameter range of 14 mm Sorting to 50 mm. Especially high output is achieved by the use of two Schuler offers the automatic coin blank sorting device PPE, feed drums. The production yield for 14 mm blanks is 600,000 which checks the blanks for diameter, thickness and flatness. pieces per hour, and for 50 mm blanks 225,000 per hour. As The through­ ut rate of the PPE, when processing blanks of p with the blank sorting device, the effective yield of the RS 50 14 mm diameter is approx. 150,000 pieces per hour. and ST 50 S is influenced by weight, material...

Precision and reliability from blank feeding to the minting process Coin blanks for both horizontal and vertical presses are fed by In the case of horizontal presses, the blanks reach the dial feed means of a rotating drum. Feed drums of this design are particu- plate by gravity via the feed channel. In vertical presses, feeding larly gentle. Abrasion is minimal as compared to vibrating feed takes place by means of a channel, a feed tube and a pusher. The drums; noise generation is also reduced. No change parts are efficiency of high-speed presses is seriously impaired by off-size required...

EQUIPMENT FOR MINTING TECHNOLOGY Minting presses in horizontal design – MRH range ideal for round coins and high-volume coin production Horizontal minting presses of the MRH series are employed exclusively for the processing of round blanks. With cycle rates of up to 850 strokes per minute, presses in this series are best suited for large-volume production. Short changeover times result from the small number of change parts and ensure a high degree of flexibility. MRH 150 with noise protection system 12

Minting systems in vertical design – MRV universal application range for round, multi-sided, bi-metal and tri-metal coins Vertical coining presses of the MRV series are the most versatile in application. These presses were designed to be the basis for ”universal coining centers“ for the production of all kinds of circulating coins. Benefits of the MRH and MRV press series: • High stroking rates and short cycle times • ong service life of the coining punch by firm connecL tion of punch and slide • ink drive with mass counterbalance L • igh level of transport reliability from feeding of...
