BV30 set to hit South American & Southeast Asian markets
Innovative Technology Ltd. (ITL) have released their latest next generation compact bill acceptor designed initially for the South American and Southeast Asian markets. The BV30 bill acceptor is ideal for low value transactions in both amusement, kiosk and vending applications and will replace the BV20.
Boasting improved bill sensing (UV and reflective) & anti-strimming, this unit offers an enhanced level of security. It has an attractive bezel illumination design (RGB options) and offers quick transactions with fast bill to bill processing.
Mustapha Hadj-Ahmed, Sales Director for ITL commented, “This is a greatly enhanced version and direct replacement for our previous BV20 product. The BV30 will still be competitively priced as we continue to provide bill acceptance technology for the price of a coin mech. Like all of our products, it has the added benefit of free firmware updates which can be downloaded remotely for easy updates, future proofing your cash handling.”
Concluding Mustapha said, “Installing the cost-effective BV30 in amusement or vending machines with low-value transactions can help increase profits by enabling more cash to be taken. Initially available for key countries throughout South America, Southeast Asia, and Southeast Europe, we look forward to working with our customers to bring this product to market and make bill acceptance more secure, quick, and profitable.”
