Premax PM-VC110T is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 73,000, brand new and sealed, with a colour touchscreen that shows every denomination, piece count and total in one table. The Premax PM-VC110T is a mixed-denomination value counter, so a stack of different notes goes in together and comes out as one verified sum. It runs at 800, 1,000 or 1,200 notes per minute from a 500-note front hopper. A main pocket and a separate reject pocket keep accepted and refused notes apart. Collect it at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for retail chains, hotel front offices, hospital and clinic cashiers, school bursars, and mobile money or bank agents, the Premax PM-VC110T suits desks where the person counting changes every shift. A new hire learns the tap-through menus quickly instead of memorising button sequences. That matters at a clinic billing window at opening time, or in a school bursary office during the January fees queue. Hand-counting a mixed bundle of 1,000-, 500- and 200-shilling notes invites mistakes when people are waiting. The machine reads each note's value and keeps a running total, so reconciliation no longer depends on one experienced cashier.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops hand over a value counter and leave you to work out the settings, Mascom International sets the currency and counting mode with you before the Premax PM-VC110T leaves the store. Customers across Nairobi tell us a touchscreen is what stops supervisors being called over for every count. The Premax PM-VC110T costs KSh 2,000 less than its keypad sibling, the PM-VC110P, while keeping the same top speed and hopper size. Walk in to test it with your own notes, or order it with pay-on-arrival delivery to any of Kenya's 47 counties.
Common Questions About the Premax PM-VC110T
Is the Premax PM-VC110T worth KSh 73,000 for a Kenyan business?
Yes, for any desk that handles mixed notes every day and rotates staff, the Premax PM-VC110T at KSh 73,000 pays its way quickly. It replaces two slow jobs, sorting notes by denomination and adding up the total, with one pass through the machine. A hotel night auditor who reconciles for an hour each evening gets most of that hour back. Spread across the first year of ownership, the price works out to about KSh 200 per day. Shops counting a single denomination will find a basic note counter cheaper.
PM-VC110T vs PM-VC110P: which Premax value counter should you buy?
Pick the PM-VC110T if your team prefers tapping a colour touchscreen, and the PM-VC110P if operators like the feel of physical keys. Both count up to 1,200 notes per minute from a 500-note hopper and total mixed denominations by value. Mascom International sells the PM-VC110T for KSh 73,000, which is KSh 2,000 below the PM-VC110P at KSh 75,000. The touchscreen model suits desks where cashiers change often and need menus they can read rather than key sequences to remember.
How quickly can new staff learn the Premax PM-VC110T touchscreen?
Most new staff can run a basic count on the Premax PM-VC110T during their first shift, because the screen labels each option in plain words. The details table lists every denomination, the number of pieces and the amount per row, so a supervisor checks a result at a glance. Four dedicated keys cover the common jobs: CUR picks the currency, MODE changes counting type, CFD sets note checking, and RESTART clears the machine for the next bundle.
Does the Premax PM-VC110T read Kenya shilling notes as well as US dollars?
The Premax PM-VC110T is a multi-currency value counter, and its CUR key switches between the currencies loaded on the unit, including the US dollar shown in its details table. Mascom International sets the Kenya shilling as the working currency with you at collection. That suits a hotel front office in Diani or Naivasha taking shillings from local guests and dollars from overseas visitors at one desk. If you also handle euros or pounds, confirm on WhatsApp which other currencies the unit carries.
How does the Premax PM-VC110T cope with power cuts in Kenya?
The Premax PM-VC110T runs on AC 110-240V at 50-60Hz and draws no more than 80W, so a basic office UPS can carry it through a short Kenya Power outage. That matters during month-end payouts, when a blackout mid-count would otherwise force you to start a bundle again. Plug it into the same UPS that keeps your till or POS terminal alive. If power drops anyway, press RESTART once supply returns and recount that bundle from the hopper.
Is the Premax PM-VC110T a good fit for M-Pesa and agency banking outlets?
Yes, the Premax PM-VC110T fits busy M-Pesa shops and KCB, Equity or Co-operative Bank agency outlets that take large float deposits in mixed notes. An agent can confirm a deposit total before keying it into the system, which stops shortfalls appearing at closing time. At 1,200 notes per minute, a full 500-note hopper clears in about 25 seconds. Any note the machine refuses lands in the reject pocket, so the customer can swap it while still standing at the counter.
What does the Premax PM-VC110T do with a suspect or damaged note?
The Premax PM-VC110T diverts notes it will not accept into a separate reject pocket, so the main stack and its total stay clean. You lift out the refused note, inspect it by hand, and decide whether to hand it back. Torn corners, heavy folds, or a stray note from another currency are common causes. Accepted notes collect in the main pocket, which holds up to 200 notes before it needs emptying. Notes must measure between 50 x 110 mm and 90 x 190 mm.
Who should buy the Premax PM-VC110T, and who should skip it?
Buy the Premax PM-VC110T if several people share one counting desk and you want menus anyone can follow. Retail chains, hotel front offices, hospital and clinic cashiers, schools collecting fees, and mobile money agents gain the most. Skip it if you run a forex bureau or vault that needs notes sorted into two outputs, because the two-pocket Premax PM-VC210 at KSh 140,000 handles that. A small kiosk counting one denomination is better served by the Premax PM-CC35D at KSh 18,500.
How much time does the Premax PM-VC110T save during a school fees rush?
At its 1,200 notes per minute top speed, the Premax PM-VC110T counts and totals 1,000 mixed notes in under a minute of feed time. Add a few seconds each time you reload the hopper or empty the 200-note pocket. The 3-digit batch display lets a bursar set bundles of 100, so every stack comes out ready for banding and the bank. For older, softer notes, drop the speed to 800 or 1,000 notes per minute to keep feeding smooth.
Technical Specifications
Counting Speed and Capacity
- Three speed settings of 800, 1,000 and 1,200 notes per minute match the pace to the condition of each bundle.
- The 500-note front hopper takes a thick deposit in one load, so the operator rarely stops mid-count to refill.
- The main pocket holds 200 notes, enough for two standard bundles of 100 before anyone needs to empty it.
- At top speed a full hopper clears in about 25 seconds, which keeps a long queue moving during peak hours.
- Front-loading design means notes go in and come out facing the operator, saving depth on a narrow desk.
Touchscreen Display and Controls
- A colour touchscreen replaces most button presses with labelled on-screen menus that new staff can read without a manual.
- The MDC details table lists denomination, pieces and amount on each row, so supervisors verify totals at one glance.
- A 4-digit counting display shows up to 9,999 notes, comfortably beyond any single load from the 500-note hopper.
- A 3-digit batch display lets you set bundle sizes such as 100 notes for banding and bank deposits.
- Physical CUR, MODE, CFD and RESTART keys stay within reach for the four jobs operators repeat most often.
Value Counting and Currency Support
- Mixed-denomination counting totals different notes in one pass, removing the need to pre-sort a bundle by face value.
- The CUR key switches the active currency, so one machine serves both local and foreign takings at the same desk.
- The MODE key changes counting type, moving between value totals and simple piece counts as each job requires.
- Per-denomination breakdowns help billing offices match printed receipts against the physical notes sitting in the drawer.
- Multi-currency support suits hotel receptions and travel desks that accept payments from overseas guests alongside local ones.
Note Checking and Reject Handling
- A separate reject pocket catches notes the machine will not accept, keeping the main stack and its total clean.
- The CFD key controls the note-checking function, so you adjust how strictly each bundle gets screened before counting.
- Refused notes can be inspected by hand at the counter while the customer is still present to replace them.
- Folded, torn or foreign notes mixed into a bundle get set aside rather than silently added to the running total.
- The RESTART key clears the current count in one press, so an interrupted bundle starts fresh without any confusion.
Note Size Range and Handling
- Accepts notes from 50 x 110 mm up to 90 x 190 mm, a range that covers ordinary banknote dimensions.
- Handles note thickness from 0.075 to 0.15 mm, spanning crisp new notes as well as softer circulated ones.
- Lower speed settings suit worn or limp notes, which feed more reliably when the machine is not at full pace.
- Batch counting halts at your chosen figure, so every bundle leaves the pocket at a consistent size for banding.
- Hopper and pocket both sit at the front, so the operator works with both hands forward through long sessions.
Power, Build and Dimensions
- Runs on AC 110-240V at 50-60Hz, so it plugs straight into a standard 240V mains socket without a converter.
- Draws no more than 80W, a light enough load for a small office UPS to carry during an outage.
- Measures 260 x 230 x 240 mm, compact enough for a hotel front desk or a clinic cashier window.
- Weighs 6.5 kg net, heavy enough to stay steady on the counter yet light enough to move between offices.
- Gross shipping weight of 7.5 kg keeps courier handling simple when you order a unit for a distant branch.
- A white and black body gives a neutral look that blends into reception counters and banking halls alike.
