Description
The defining characteristic of the K2 Cash Recycler is its 1,000-note hopper — the largest in the Cashcom range. For businesses where loading the machine repeatedly throughout a counting session is a real operational friction, the K2 removes it. A full day’s notes for a high-volume retail store, club, or entertainment venue often fits in a single load — one pour, one run, complete.
That capacity sits alongside full 4-method detection (UV + MG + IR + CIS), denomination-to-fitness sorting in a single pass, and a compact design that is genuinely portable for its performance level. The K2 is for operations that need high-volume capability without the footprint of a fixed installation machine.
Who Is the K2 For?
- Licensed clubs and gaming venues: High daily $1 and $2 coin volumes from gaming, and high $50 and $100 note volumes from bar and membership transactions — all handled in continuous loaded runs
- Large retail and supermarkets: Multi-till daily counts where maximum hopper capacity reduces reload interruptions
- Entertainment venues and stadiums: Event-day cash processing where large note volumes need to be cleared rapidly
- Hospitality groups: Multi-venue or multi-outlet cash consolidation where volume is high and time is constrained
- CIT cash centres: Client cash processing requiring high throughput, full sorting, and multi-currency detection
Key Features Explained
1,000-Note Hopper — The Operational Differentiator
The LS-200 holds 600 notes. The H110 holds 500 notes. The K2 holds 1,000 notes. For a business counting 3,000 notes in a session, that means three loads on the K2 versus five on an H110 or six on a 500-note machine. Each reload takes 30–60 seconds of staff attention — across a week of daily counting, the K2 saves a meaningful total of operator time purely through its hopper capacity.
Full 4-Method Detection
UV, magnetic (MG), infrared (IR), and CIS colour image detection run simultaneously on every note through the K2’s sensor array. All denominations — including $50 and $100 notes — receive the same comprehensive authentication pass. Counterfeit or suspect notes are automatically routed to the dedicated reject pocket, physically separated from the authenticated stack before the count is complete.
Denomination, Orientation, Facing, and Fitness Sorting
The K2 sorts notes across four dimensions simultaneously in a single pass: denomination (which value), orientation (which way up), facing (which side forward), and fitness (condition level — fit or unfit). The result is a fully sorted, authenticated, fitness-graded output from a single loading — what would require multiple passes on a less capable machine happens in one.
Multi-Currency Support — Up to 7 Currencies Simultaneously
The K2 handles up to 7 currencies simultaneously with auto-detect mode. For operations that regularly process foreign currencies alongside AUD — casinos, large hospitality venues, tourist-area operations — the K2 eliminates the need to run separate counting passes for different currencies.

Frequently Asked Questions
| Is the K2 a cash recycler in the traditional sense — does it dispense notes?
The K2 is primarily a high-capacity sorter and counter rather than a dispensing recycler. The ‘recycler’ designation refers to its cash management cycle capability — it can be configured in cash management workflows to accept, sort, and make sorted notes available for redistribution. Contact Cashcom on 0451 353 676 to discuss specific cash recycling workflow requirements. |
| How does the K2 compare to the LS-300 for high-volume use?
The K2 and LS-300 serve different high-volume needs. The K2’s primary advantage is its 1,000-note hopper — ideal for operations where loading frequency is the bottleneck. The LS-300’s primary advantage is its dust-free continuous-duty design and remote upgrade capability — ideal for operations running all day every day where jam prevention and database currency matter most. Both have full 4-method detection. |
| Does the K2 support TITO ticket processing for gaming environments?
Yes — barcode and ticket detection is an optional feature on the K2. For gaming venues that process both cash notes and TITO tickets, this option allows the K2 to handle both in a single unit. Confirm this option is enabled at time of order. |
| Can the K2 process coins as well as notes?
No — the K2 is a note processing machine only. For coin sorting alongside the K2, the Cashcom Con200 Coin Sorting Machine handles all six AUD coin denominations at 350 coins per minute. Many high-volume operations pair the K2 for notes with the Con200 for coins. |
