Stop the Jams: The 3 Reasons Your Kiosk is Losing Money
A jammed bill acceptor is a "Closed" sign in disguise. When a customer walks up to your kiosk with cash in hand only to have it rejected or stuck, you don't just lose a transaction—you lose their trust. If your machine isn't breathing, it isn't making money.
The Mechanical Culprits: To keep your revenue flowing, you have to defend against the three most common causes of hardware failure:
The Silent Killer (Neglected Cleaning): Dirt and debris are the enemies of precision. Without scheduled cleaning, buildup disrupts the sensors and the bill path, leading to "false jams" that are entirely preventable.
The Weak Heart (Gear Failure): The motor and gears are the heart of your transport system. If the gears are made of inferior materials, they slip or strip under pressure. You need hardware engineered for high torque and long-term durability.
The Uninvited Guests (Foreign Objects): From coins and food wrappers to "cheat tools" used by fraudsters, your bezel is under constant attack. Your hardware needs to be a fortress that accepts currency and rejects everything else.
At Pyramid, we engineer our bill acceptors to handle the "worst-case scenario" so you can enjoy the "best-case" profit margins. We've spent 25 years perfecting the geometry of the bill path so you don't have to spend your weekends clearing jams.
