World Money Fair Technical Forum Review: Part 3

In the last two issues of Coin & Mint News™, we covered 10 of the presentations made in the first two sessions of the World Money Fair Technical Forum 2023, which took place on 2 February in Berlin and was hosted by Dieter Merkle of Schuler and Thomas Hogenkamp of Spaleck.

In this issue, we conclude the review with four presentations covering surface finishing and inspection, the recovery of e-waste, packaging and commemorative coins.

Coin Blanks Surface Finishing with In-Line Inspection

Rösler Oberflächentechnik and Proditec

The objective of this project, a joint venture between Rösler Oberflächentechnik and Proditec, was to creating a fully automatic finishing line directly linked with in-line quality inspection of blanks.

Rösler is well known for its blank finishing lines with air drying especially for high volume circulation coin, and its expertise made it the logical partner for Proditec, developers of high speed inspection systems. The joint development programme was to make the process more sustainable, ecological and efficient.
