Condition: New

Premax PM-CC35D is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 18,500, a single-pocket banknote counter that runs through 1,000 notes per minute with built-in counterfeit detection. Each unit arrives brand new and sealed at our Nairobi CBD store, Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street. The Premax PM-CC35D pairs a 4-digit counting LCD with a 3-digit batch screen and a separate external display that faces your customer. Its hopper and stacker each take 100 to 200 notes per load. At 5.6 kg, the grey and silver Premax PM-CC35D sits on a shop counter without crowding the till.
Built for small businesses that handle cash all day, the Premax PM-CC35D takes over the evening count that eats into closing time. M-Pesa agents balancing float, chemists reconciling the day's sales, kiosk owners, small hardware stores and matatu SACCO offices collecting daily remittances all face the same problem. Counting by hand is slow, and one tired miscount means money lost or an argument with staff. The Premax PM-CC35D counts a 100-note bundle in about six seconds and screens each note as it passes. You close the till faster and bank with a figure you trust.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell cash counters without a demonstration, Mascom International runs a test bundle in front of you before you pay. The Premax PM-CC35D is the entry point of the six Premax machines we stock, which climb to the two-pocket PM-VC210 for heavier volumes. Shop owners across Nairobi tell us the external display alone settles disputes at the counter, because the customer watches the same number climb in real time. Order the Premax PM-CC35D on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery to any of Kenya's 47 counties, or collect it from Kimathi Street the same day.
Common Questions About the Premax PM-CC35D
Is the Premax PM-CC35D worth KSh 18,500 for a small business in Kenya?
Yes, for any business counting cash daily, the Premax PM-CC35D earns its KSh 18,500 price through time saved and errors avoided. Spread across its first year, the cost works out to about KSh 51 per day. It counts 1,000 notes per minute, so a chemist or hardware store finishes the evening count in seconds instead of repeating hand counts. Catching even one or two fake KSh 1,000 notes, or one short bundle, recovers a real share of that outlay.
How long does the Premax PM-CC35D take to count a bundle of KSh 1,000 notes?
The Premax PM-CC35D counts 100 notes in about six seconds, based on its rated speed of 1,000 notes per minute. A bundle of one hundred KSh 1,000 notes, worth KSh 100,000, is confirmed in that time. A full 200-note load takes roughly twelve seconds. For an M-Pesa agent topping up float twice a day, a nervous hand count becomes a quick check. Running the same bundle a second time costs only seconds, so double-checking turns into habit rather than a chore.
Can the Premax PM-CC35D catch fake Kenyan shilling notes?
The Premax PM-CC35D includes built-in counterfeit detection that screens each note as it feeds through the counting path. That gives a kiosk or chemist a first line of defence against counterfeit notes passed during busy hours, when staff are least likely to look closely. Treat it as a screening tool, not a final verdict. When the machine flags a note, check it by hand against the Central Bank of Kenya security features, such as the watermark and security thread, before refusing or banking it.
Premax PM-CC35D vs Premax PM-CC85A, which should a small shop buy?
The Premax PM-CC35D is the lower-priced choice at KSh 18,500, while the PM-CC85A costs KSh 20,000 at Mascom International. Both belong to the Premax note-counter line rather than the value-counter line, so each counts pieces instead of adding up shillings. If your budget is tight and you mainly need fast counts with fake-note screening, the KSh 1,500 saving makes the PM-CC35D the sensible pick. Ask our team to run the same bundle through both machines in store before deciding.
Who should buy the Premax PM-CC35D, and who should skip it?
The Premax PM-CC35D suits small cash businesses: M-Pesa agents, chemists, kiosks, small hardware stores and matatu SACCO offices handling daily takings. It is the budget entry point in the Premax range at Mascom International. Skip it if you run a supermarket, fuel station or busy banking hall counting thousands of notes every hour. Those operations are better served by the two-pocket Premax PM-VC210 at KSh 140,000, which sorts and values notes. Shops wanting a modest step up can look at the PM-CC90D at KSh 21,000.
Will the Premax PM-CC35D add up the value of a mixed bundle of KSh 50, 100, 500 and 1,000 notes?
No, the Premax PM-CC35D counts the number of notes, not their combined shilling value. Feed it a mixed bundle and it reports how many pieces passed, so sort by denomination first. Most small shops already separate notes in the till drawer, which keeps this step short. If your cashiers receive mixed bundles all day, as at a SACCO office collecting from several matatus, the Premax PM-VC110T at KSh 73,000 or the PM-VC110P at KSh 75,000 totals the value for you.
What happens to the Premax PM-CC35D during a KPLC power cut?
The Premax PM-CC35D runs on AC 220V mains power, so a blackout stops the count partway through a bundle. When power returns, clear the display and run that bundle again from the start, which takes only seconds at 1,000 notes per minute. Shops in areas with frequent outages can connect the machine through a small UPS, which keeps it running long enough to finish the evening count. Mascom International stocks UPS units, and our team can suggest a suitable one when you buy.
How do I use the batch function on the Premax PM-CC35D to prepare bank deposits?
Set the 3-digit batch screen on the Premax PM-CC35D to 100, and the machine stops after every 100 notes so you can band each bundle. Banded 100-note bundles make deposits at KCB, Equity or Co-operative Bank quicker to hand over and easier for the teller to verify. You can also set smaller batches, such as 50, when making up change floats for cashiers. Any figure up to 999 fits on the batch screen, so it adapts to your own routine.
Why does the Premax PM-CC35D come with an external display?
The external display on the Premax PM-CC35D shows the running count to the person across the counter, not just to you. At an M-Pesa agent desk or a SACCO collection window, the customer or conductor sees the same number you see. That shared view removes most arguments about short counts before they start. Position the display facing the queue, and every handover of cash becomes a transaction both sides have watched, which builds trust with regular customers over time.
Technical Specifications
Counting Speed and Throughput
- Rated speed of 1,000 notes per minute, so a standard bundle of 100 notes clears in about six seconds.
- A full 200-note stacker load finishes in roughly twelve seconds, keeping end-of-day reconciliation short on busy trading days.
- Single-pocket design sends every counted note to one stacker, the simplest layout for shops handling one denomination at a time.
- Piece counting reports the number of notes rather than total value, matching how small businesses already sort notes in the till.
- Repeat counts take only seconds, so cashiers can verify every bundle twice before it goes into the safe or bank bag.
Counterfeit Screening
- Built-in counterfeit detection checks notes during the count, giving an automatic first screen without a separate checking step.
- Suspect notes are flagged at your counter before they join your takings, rather than discovered later by the bank teller.
- Works as a screening aid, so staff should confirm any flagged note by hand against Central Bank of Kenya security features.
- Screening every note matters most for KSh 500 and KSh 1,000 notes, where a single fake costs the business the most.
- Automatic checking removes reliance on tired staff spotting fakes under poor lighting during the evening rush at the till.
Hopper, Stacker and Note Handling
- Hopper and stacker capacity of 100 to 200 notes per load takes a standard 100-note bank bundle in one pass.
- Accepts notes from 110 mm to 190 mm long, covering every current Kenya shilling denomination from KSh 50 to KSh 1,000.
- Loose notes from the till can go straight into the hopper, though flattening folded notes first gives the cleanest count.
- Counted notes collect squarely in the stacker, ready for a rubber band or bank strap without re-stacking by hand.
- One loading point and one exit keep the routine simple, so a new shop assistant learns to operate it quickly.
Displays and Controls
- 4-digit counting LCD shows totals up to 9,999 notes, enough headroom for a full day's takings at most small shops.
- 3-digit batch screen lets you preset stops anywhere up to 999 notes, such as 100 for bank bundles or 50 for floats.
- Separate external display faces the customer, so both sides of the counter follow the same count as notes pass through.
- Compact keypad on the main body handles batch setting and count reset directly at the counter, with no software to install.
- Clear numeric readouts help at M-Pesa agent desks, where every float handover needs a figure both parties accept on the spot.
Power, Build and Footprint
- Runs on AC 220V mains power and plugs into an ordinary shop socket, with no batteries or adapters to manage.
- Net weight of 5.6 kg keeps the machine planted on the counter while notes feed through at full speed.
- Grey and silver body suits a chemist counter, hardware store till or SACCO office desk without drawing attention to the cash.
- Compact single-pocket footprint leaves room beside the till for a receipt printer and your Lipa na M-Pesa till number card.
- Pairing it with a small UPS keeps the count going through KPLC outages and shields the electronics from sudden voltage dips.
Daily Use in Kenyan Businesses
- M-Pesa agents can count float top-ups in front of the depositor, cutting disputes over shortfalls before anyone leaves the counter.
- Chemists reconciling cash sales against the day's receipts get an exact note count per denomination within seconds of closing.
- Matatu SACCO offices collecting from several vehicles each evening can run each conductor's cash separately and record every total.
- Small hardware stores in Nakuru, Eldoret and Kisii taking cash for cement and iron sheets confirm large payments quickly.
- Kiosk owners closing late finish the count fast and lock up sooner, reducing the time cash sits exposed on the counter.
