Recycling the KA21
Environmental protection does not begin when it comes time to dispose of
the KA21; it begins with the manufacturer. This product was designed
according to our internal norm “Environmental conscious product design
and development”.
The KA21 is manufactured without the use of CFCs und CCHS and is
produced mainly from reusable components and materials. The processed
plastics can, for the most part, be recycled. Even the precious metals can
be recovered, thus saving energy and costly raw materials.
Please do not stick labels onto plastic case parts. This would help us to
re-use components and material. You can protect our environment by only
switching on your equipment when it is actually needed. If possible, even
avoid the stand-by-mode as this wastes energy, too. Also switch your
equipment off when you take a longer break or finish your work.
At this time, there are still some parts that are not reusable.
Wincor Nixdorf guarantees the environmentally safe disposal of these
parts in the Recycling Center, which is certified pursuant to ISO 9001 and
14001.
So don’t simply throw your KA21 on the scrap heap when it has served
its time, but take advantage of the environmentally smart, up-to-date
recycling methods.
Please contact your competent branch or the Recycling Center Paderborn
(for European countries) for information on how to return and re-use
devices and disposable materials under the following fax number:

We look forward to your message.

The KA21 Cassette Cash Drawer
General
The KA21 Cassette Cash Drawer is a small, space-saving drawer with a
hinged cover, designed as a desktop model. Thanks to its compact
construction and upward opening cover, the cash drawer has a very
small footprint, thus allowing a variable arrangement of the working
environment.
The hinged cover’s wide opening angle makes coins and bank notes easily
accessible.
The essential components of the cash drawer are the base plate and the
electronic unit it accommodates, the plastic housing, the coin/ bank note
trays and the electromechanical lock.
