Premax PM-CC90D is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 21,000, brand new and sealed, at our Old Mutual Building store on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. This single-pocket banknote counter tops the Premax PM-CC range we carry. The Premax PM-CC90D pairs counterfeit detection with a blue backlit LCD showing count, batch and value fields. A red 4-digit LED display rises above the body and faces the person paying. A numeric keypad drives the batch and value functions, and the hopper takes up to 200 notes per load. Its charcoal-grey body sits neatly on a crowded counter.
Built for busy counters where the customer stands and watches, the Premax PM-CC90D ends arguments over whether a count was right. Supermarket checkouts, hardware shops along Kirinyaga Road, rent collection desks and betting shops all handle stacks of notes in front of the person paying. Land and property agents selling plots in Kitengela and Ruiru take deposits in hard cash. Boda boda dealers do the same when a rider pays down on a new motorbike. The raised red display shows that person the same number the cashier sees. Disputes drop, queues move, and nobody recounts by hand while a buyer waits.
Many basic note counters show the number only to the operator, leaving the customer to trust the cashier's word. The Premax PM-CC90D builds a customer-facing screen into the body, with no second unit or cable to manage. Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya, Mascom International stocks the full Premax line, from the entry PM-CC35D to the two-pocket PM-VC210. You can compare them side by side before choosing. Business owners across Nairobi tell us the visible count is what won them over. Walk in to test the Premax PM-CC90D with your own notes, or order it for pay-on-arrival delivery.
Common Questions About the Premax PM-CC90D
What makes the Premax PM-CC90D different from a basic note counter?
The Premax PM-CC90D adds a raised red 4-digit LED display that faces the customer, so both sides of the counter watch the same count. Basic counters show the number only to the operator. That change matters most where money changes hands under scrutiny, such as a plot deposit or a motorbike down payment. The blue backlit LCD on the operator side also shows batch and value fields. At KSh 21,000 from Mascom International, it is the most complete single-pocket counter in the Premax range we sell in Kenya.
Premax PM-CC90D vs PM-CC85A, which suits your counter better?
Choose the Premax PM-CC90D if customers stand at your counter and watch the count, and the PM-CC85A if you regularly count foreign currency. The PM-CC85A costs KSh 20,000 and adds multi-currency handling, voice prompts and a side LED. The PM-CC90D costs KSh 1,000 more and places its LED high on top, facing the payer directly. It also gives you keypad-driven batch and value functions. A Kenyan supermarket or rent desk handling shillings usually gets more from the PM-CC90D at Mascom International.
How do the batch and value keys on the PM-CC90D speed up a busy counter?
Key a batch number into the Premax PM-CC90D and it stops at exactly that count, ready for banding. Cashiers bundling notes in hundreds for a bank deposit stop overshooting and stop recounting by hand. The value function multiplies the count by the denomination you enter, so the LCD shows the shilling total of a uniform stack. A rent collector receiving forty KSh 1,000 notes reads KSh 40,000 without reaching for a calculator. Both numbers stay on screen while the customer follows the raised LED.
Can the Premax PM-CC90D catch fake notes before they reach your drawer?
Yes, the Premax PM-CC90D runs counterfeit detection on every note and halts with an alert when one fails the check. You remove the flagged note, set it aside, and carry on with the stack. Treat a flag as a reason to inspect rather than final proof, because a badly worn genuine note can occasionally trip a sensor. For land agents and boda boda dealers in Kenya taking large deposits, a fake caught at the counter costs far less than one rejected later at the bank.
How does the PM-CC90D handle KPLC power cuts at a Kenyan shop?
The Premax PM-CC90D runs from 220V mains at 50Hz, matching the Kenya Power supply, and draws under 80W. It works from the mains only, so a blackout stops it mid-count. A small UPS keeps it running through short KPLC outages, and the low draw means even an entry-level unit gives useful runtime. Mascom International stocks UPS units and can add one to the same order. If power drops during a count, recount that stack once the supply returns.
When should you step up from the PM-CC90D to the PM-VC110 value counters?
Step up to a PM-VC110 when your drawer holds mixed denominations and you want the total without sorting first. The Premax PM-CC90D values a stack only when every note shares one denomination. The PM-VC110P at KSh 75,000 and the touchscreen PM-VC110T at KSh 73,000 read each note's value as it passes, with a 500-note hopper. That costs KSh 52,000 to 54,000 more, which pays off at SACCOs, fuel stations and wholesale counters closing several mixed drawers every day.
Who should buy the Premax PM-CC90D, and who should skip it?
Buy the Premax PM-CC90D if customers hand you notes and watch you count them, at a till, a rent desk or a dealership. Skip it if you count only your own takings after closing, because nobody needs a customer display then. A small kiosk is better served by the PM-CC35D at KSh 18,500. Businesses counting dollars and euros should look at the PM-CC85A. Banks and large wholesalers sorting thousands of mixed notes need the two-pocket PM-VC210 at KSh 140,000.
Is the Premax PM-CC90D worth KSh 21,000 for a small Kenyan business?
For a business taking deposits in front of customers, yes. Spread over a single year, KSh 21,000 works out to about KSh 58 a day. One fake KSh 1,000 note caught at the counter covers roughly 17 days of that cost. Compared with the PM-CC35D, you pay KSh 2,500 more for the raised customer display and keypad value functions. Many Kenyan shops now collect most payments through Lipa na M-Pesa, so the case for the Premax PM-CC90D is strongest where paper money still dominates.
How many notes does the Premax PM-CC90D take in one load?
The Premax PM-CC90D hopper holds up to 200 notes, and the stacker below collects up to 200 counted notes before you empty it. That covers a KSh 200,000 deposit in KSh 1,000 notes in a single load. It accepts notes from 50 x 110 mm up to 90 x 190 mm, between 0.075 and 0.15 mm thick. Every current Kenyan banknote and the US dollar fall within that size range, so one machine handles the notes most counters in Kenya actually see.
Technical Specifications
Counting Engine and Note Handling
- Single-pocket design counts one stack at a time, keeping the mechanism simple to clear and quick for new cashiers to learn.
- Hopper holds up to 200 notes, enough for a full KSh 200,000 deposit in KSh 1,000 notes per load.
- Stacker collects up to 200 counted notes, so a full hopper empties into one neat pile without stopping.
- Accepts notes from 50 x 110 mm to 90 x 190 mm, covering every current Kenyan banknote size.
- Handles note thickness from 0.075 to 0.15 mm, which spans crisp new notes and softer circulated ones.
Counterfeit Protection
- Built-in counterfeit detection checks every note as it passes, so no separate detector pen or lamp is needed.
- The machine halts and alerts the operator when a note fails, making the flagged note easy to find and remove.
- Detection runs during the normal count, so checking every note adds no separate step to a deposit.
- A flag is a prompt to inspect, since a badly worn genuine note can occasionally trip a sensor too.
- Catching a fake at the counter protects you before the money reaches your bank, where rejected notes become your loss.
Display and Customer Visibility
- Red 4-digit LED display rises above the body and faces the payer, showing the count as it climbs.
- Four digits read up to 9,999, well beyond a 200-note load, so the customer always sees the full number.
- Blue backlit LCD on the operator side shows count, batch and value fields together on one screen.
- Backlighting keeps the operator screen readable under dim shop lighting and during evening trade.
- The raised position lets a customer standing across the counter read the count without leaning over.
- A built-in customer display means no separate external unit, cable or extra power point on a crowded counter.
Keypad Functions and Counting Modes
- Numeric keypad sets batch sizes directly, so typing 100 stops the count at exactly 100 notes for banding.
- Batch mode suits cashiers preparing bank deposits in standard bundles, cutting manual recounts at the end of the day.
- Value mode multiplies the count by the denomination you key in, giving a shilling total for a uniform stack.
- The value field lets a rent collector or land agent read a deposit total straight off the LCD.
- Keypad entry is quicker than cycling through preset buttons when batch sizes change between customers.
- Value counting assumes one denomination per stack, so mixed drawers belong on the PM-VC110 series instead.
Power and Electrical Requirements
- Runs on AC 220V at 50Hz, matching the standard Kenya Power mains supply without any converter.
- Power draw stays under 80W, lower than a typical desktop computer, so it adds little to the monthly bill.
- Low draw lets a small UPS carry it through brief outages without an expensive large-capacity unit.
- Mains-only operation means planning for blackouts, so pair it with a UPS where outages are frequent.
- The fixed voltage rating suits Kenyan grid power directly, so no step-down transformer is needed for local use.
Build Size and Placement
- Charcoal-grey body blends into supermarket, hardware shop and office counters without drawing attention.
- Packed dimensions of 30 x 20.6 x 26.3 cm mean the machine needs only a small patch of counter space.
- Shipping weight of about 6 kg keeps the unit steady on the counter while the motor works through a full hopper.
- Compact footprint leaves room for a receipt printer, a Lipa na M-Pesa till sign and a drawer alongside.
- Place the machine with the raised LED facing the customer side so payers can follow every count.
- Single-pocket construction has fewer moving parts to clean than a two-pocket sorter, which helps on dusty Nairobi CBD streets.
