Snack meal vending machine

A Snack meal vending machine is a refrigerated Vending machine for dispensing freshly filled rolls, sandwiches, salads and other fresh products with a short shelf life.

Function and area of use

Snack meal vending machines have constant cooling at 2–6 °C, which guarantees the freshness of the products. Dispensing is via large drawers or spirals with extra spacing so that filled rolls are not squashed. Modern units have glass fronts so that customers can see the products. Telemetry monitors cooling temperature and best-before dates.

Snack meal vending machines are found at locations with high demand at breakfast and lunchtime: railway stations, office complexes, hospitals, universities and industrial estates. They are restocked fresh every day, usually early in the morning. Unsold goods are removed in the evening and donated or disposed of.

Working with local bakeries or caterers ensures freshness and quality. The range is adjusted daily.

Advantages

• Fresh snacks around the clock, independent of bakery opening hours
