Key Features & Operation:
-
Capacity & Display: It is a 621-can capacity machine, typically configured with 6 selection buttons controlling 6 columns of product. The large, slanted glass front allows customers to see all the drinks clearly, which is a major sales driver.
-
Vending Mechanism: Uses a reliable, time-tested electro-mechanical delivery system. When a selection is made and payment is received, a motor turns a spiral within a selected column, dispensing one can into the retrieval bin.
-
Payment Systems: Originally built for coin operation, refurbished models are almost always upgraded with modern, programmable coin mech and bill validator systems that accept a wide range of coins and $1/$5/$10 bills. Many can also be fitted with cashless payment (credit/debit card or mobile tap) readers.
-
Refurbishment Process: A proper refurbishment includes: thorough cleaning and sanitization, replacement of worn spirals and motors, repair of the cooling system (compressor, condenser, thermostat), updated graphics/decals, and testing to ensure reliable, cold vending.
-
Cooling System: Equipped with a commercial-grade refrigeration system to keep all 600+ cans consistently cold, which is essential for sales.
