Eden counting on Cummins

Supplier: Cummins-Allison Ltd

More Cummins-Allison Ltd details
Open fully since March 2001, the £121m Eden Project has welcomed more than 7 million visitors, employs 500 local residents and in its first three years brought over £613m to the Cornish economy.

There is no doubt that it has been a resounding success and shows every sign of carrying on that way. Eden's visitors take much away with them, hence its burgeoning collection of industry awards.

However, they also leave behind large volumes of cash, both coins and notes, which is shipped out daily but needs to be processed first.

A team of nine full and part-time staff in two administration centres handles the job and they have been relying on cash handling equipment from Cummins-Allison from the outset.

Cash is generated in three main areas accounting for approximately one-third of admissions, two-thirds of shop sales and more than three-quarters of all catering. To cope, Eden uses both JetSort® 4200 coin sorters and JetCount® M4025 note counters.

The JetSort counter is floor standing, easy to operate, counts 3000 coins per minute and has a sorting accuracy is 99.995 per cent. The euro-ready range includes both tabletop and floor standing models able to count and sort nine denominations at speeds of up to 6000 mixed coins per minute.

JetCount note counters are designed to be both compact and easy to use with clear and simple controls. They offer variable counting speeds up to 1600 notes per minute. Other features include the ability to sense double and folded notes and auto start and restart as notes are added and removed.

Janine, Eden's Head Cashier, says: “Dealing with this quantity of coins and notes is challenging and when the project first got going we felt a bit snowed under. Now it's trust and confidence in the machines and the people to do the job quickly and accurately.”
