Avansa Drive-Thru Bullet Resistant Transaction Window & Drawer

⚙️ Technical Specs

The Avansa Bullet Resistant Drive Through Pay Window & Transaction Drawer is designed for maximum security and operational efficiency. It is bullet resistant against firearms up to .45 calibre, featuring a robust 38mm bullet resistant glass panel for superior protection. The unit measures 600mm x 740mm x 120mm (Width x Height x Depth), making it suitable for various installations.

🎯 Ideal Applications

The Avansa Bullet Resistant Drive Through Pay Window & Transaction Drawer is ideal for businesses in Southern Africa that handle frequent cash and document exchanges in potentially vulnerable settings. This includes petrol station kiosks, drive-through restaurants, banking branches, pay points in retail and logistics centres, and any facility requiring secure transfer of goods while maintaining a protective barrier for personnel. It addresses the critical need for ballistic protection and jam-free operation in high-crime areas, providing peace of mind for both operators and insurers.

💡 How It Works

The Avansa Bullet Resistant Drive Through Pay Window functions as a secure barrier between staff and external threats. Customers approach the window, and transactions are conducted through the integrated, smoothly gliding drawer. The 38mm bullet-resistant glass provides ballistic protection against firearms up to .45 calibre, while the stainless steel transaction drawer allows for the safe transfer of cash, cards, and documents without compromising security. A front rebate ensures clear two-way audio for effective communication.

💰 Value Benefits

Investing in the Avansa Bullet Resistant Drive Through Pay Window & Transaction Drawer offers significant value. It dramatically reduces the risk of armed robbery, protecting valuable assets and, most importantly, human lives. Businesses can expect reduced insurance premiums, with some insurers offering up to a 20% reduction in cash-in-transit excess when SABS-rated windows and drawers are installed. This security upgrade also enhances staff confidence and operational efficiency, minimising downtime caused by security incidents. For drive-through operations, improved audio clarity can recover an estimated R3,500 per outlet per month in re-makes and mis-orders.
