Why you should be using bill acceptor cleaning cards

January 17, 2012 by Stephen Enfield — CEO, POS Supply

For the last blog in my series on cleaning cards, I would like to talk about bill acceptor cleaning cards. Did you know that when a bill is rejected, it is often due to the accumulation of contaminants such as dirt and oils inside the equipment? If you don't remove that dirt and oil, you can't accept cash, and that leads to customer dissatisfaction. In order for a bill acceptor to read the special ink used in printing currency, it must be kept clean. That is where bill acceptor cleaning cards come in.

The benefits of regular kiosk maintenance with a bill acceptor cleaning card include:

• Replaces typical bottle of cleaning solution and dry wipe, thus eliminating the need to dismantle equipment.
• Reduces need for service calls which in turn saves money.
• Reduces downtime waiting for repairs.

Poor maintenance is attributed to more than 80 percent of equipment failures. The good news is that by simply using a cleaning card regularly, you can maintain high currency acceptance rates.

Bill validators can be used on:

• Dollar Bill Readers/Acceptors/Changers
• Video Game/Vending Machines
• Lottery Gaming/Slot Machines
• Cash Control Safes
• And many more

So as you can see, it's a win-win situation; fewer failures means less money out of pocket for service calls, a smooth transaction and happy customers.
