Crane raises the Green Bar
As part of Crane Merchandising Systems’ ongoing efforts to be responsible stewards of the environment, the company is pleased to announce that all new machines are available with a CarbonNeutral® option. The CarbonNeutral option allows for the offset
of the unavoidable emissions of operating vending machines whether it be from the electrical consumption of the machine itself or the travel required to the machines for filling, servicing, etc. The purchasing of carbon offsets goes to finance projects elsewhere in the world that recapture an equal amount of carbon, a process that otherwise wouldn’t be financially viable or possible without the purchase of the offsets. The CarbonNeutral option follows other environmental
developments from Crane, including power saving software, and A++ EVA EMP ratings on both the BevMax cold drink and Merchant snack machines. When you combine these existing environmental initiatives with the CarbonNeutral option now available from Crane, there is no greener option available on the market today.

The Inside Men are counting on Cummins Allison
Inside Men, the new prime-time drama on the BBC about a cash counting house heist, has been using high speed note counting machines provided by Cummins Allison Limited. Andrew Crowson, Managing Director of Cummins Allison UK, was
Cummins Allison staff meet with Inside Men’s leading man Steven Mackintosh
contacted last June by a member of the BBC Drama team to provide sufficient numbers of the right machines to create the set. Cummins Allison not only provided the machines but also trained
the actors in the correct use of the cash counting equipment to ensure authenticity. Cummins Allison’s knowledgeable staff also helped with advice on what the inside of a counting house looked like, and even ended up with one of their Service Engineers being hired as an extra to use the machines during filming. “We had a great couple of days on set helping to prepare for
filming,” said Andrew, “and we even met with Steven Mackintosh, the star of the show. One of our Service Engineers was on hand during filming to ensure that the machines didn’t interrupt the tight filming schedule and although the majority of the money used in the film was fake a small proportion of it had to be genuine for it to be counted through our machines - because of our equipment’s highly sophisticated counterfeit detection.” Cummins Allison has a range of coin sorters and note counters which
are used by a wide variety of industries not just banking and security but leisure and gaming, retail, vending, parking and public transport. The BBC hired two of the large Cummins Allison MPS machines, high speed note sorters which are able to process up to 1,000 notes per minute, and 20 of the smaller JetScans which can process up to 1,200 notes per minute.
