Different production environments handle various types and sizes of paper. When choosing a paper counting machine, it is essential to select equipment that matches your specific paper specifications and production requirements.
This guide covers the primary factors to evaluate before purchasing, including paper weight, size, counting speed, and machine functions.

Paper weight (measured in g/m² or GSM) is a critical specification. Exceeding a machine's calibrated weight range can cause processing errors. Always check the GSM of your commonly used paper against the machine's parameters.
For example, consider these two industrial models:
DMHA-SZ1600: Applicable for 30–210 g/m²
DMHA-SZ2100: Applicable for 25–210 g/m²
Check the lightest and heaviest paper you process to ensure compatibility with your chosen model.

Ensure the machine accommodates your most frequently used paper dimensions. For both the DMHA-SZ1600 and DMHA-SZ2100, the applicable sizes are identical:
Maximum size: 1200 × 788 mm
Minimum size: 100 × 150 mm
Verify that your paper formats fall safely within these limits.
Counting speed is crucial for high-volume production environments. Throughput capabilities for our examples are:
DMHA-SZ1600: 0–2000 sheets/min
DMHA-SZ2100: 0–2200 sheets/min
The right speed depends on your production volume. Note that actual operational speeds may vary based on paper type, condition, and weight.

Maximum stack height determines how much paper operators can load at once, directly affecting workflow efficiency. For example:
🌐DMHA-SZ1600: Maximum stack height of 250 mm
🌐DMHA-SZ2100: Maximum stack height of 300 mm
If you process large volumes in single batches, pay close attention to this specification.
Look for automatic paper counting machines with intuitive control systems. The DMHA-SZ1600 and DMHA-SZ2100 feature:
⚙️Microcomputer control
⚙️Automatic diagnosis
⚙️Real-time monitoring
⚙️Paper label insertion for quantitative paper extraction
These functions simplify batching and equipment maintenance.
Ensure the machine fits your intended application. Common environments include:
🌱Printing industry
🌱Office settings
🌱Banknote and bill factories
🌱Paper factories
🌱School test paper grouping
These machines can process various materials, such as offset, coated, and thin paper, as long as they fall within the specified weight ranges.
