Products for vending machines

Linear and plain bearing technology, e-chain®, gear and gearbox solutions for vending machinery

Snack vending machines in busy squares, coffee vending machines at petrol stations, ticket machines at train stations or cigarette vending machines at supermarket checkouts. The variety of vending machines in our everyday lives is huge. However, many of the requirements placed on the moving components that make the smooth functioning of vending machines possible in the first place are the same.
Spindle and lead screw nuts, linear rails, plain bearings, gears or cable guides should primarily work reliably, avoid maintenance work and save costs. This is where our motion plastic comes into play.

Vending machines

The most common vending machines are lift, spiral, flap and drum vending machines.

"Build or buy": tips for the construction of vending machines
Vending machines are in vogue. The manufacturer must decide how the products are stored, presented and made available to the buyer - and how the interior of the mobile product dispenser is designed. In addition to the use of lift systems with preconfigured portals, there are other concepts. Read the white paper to find out what is possible and what designers should consider when planning the optimum vending machine for the individual application.

Compact and light

How do you build a compact, lightweight vending machine?

<br />While ticket or snack vending machines are often set up at head height and designed to be as eye-catching as possible for the advertising effect, every centimetre of installation space counts, especially in privately-used vending machines such as coffee machines. Components must also be lightweight to minimise energy consumption. Here you can find out how our motion plastics can help.

    How do you meet hygiene requirements in vending machines?

    <br />Not all goods stored and dispensed in vending machines are securely packaged. Sensitive products are stored and moved in vending machines for baked goods, coffee, and pizza. For such applications, it is important to be familiar with the key standards for the food sector. The blog article will tell you what those standards are and how our bearing technology can help.

    How do vending machines become maintenance-free and reliable?

    <br />We encounter a wide variety of vending machines in our everyday lives. But they all have one thing in common: They have to work reliably at all times. Because operational disruptions do not just irritate the customer. Time-consuming maintenance measures mean high costs that could have been avoided. Find out more about our completely lubrication-free, maintenance-free bearing technology here.
