Egg vending machine

A Egg vending machine is a Vending machine for dispensing fresh eggs in various pack sizes directly from the producer, usually on farms.

Function and area of use

Egg vending machines store fresh eggs at room temperature or with light cooling in special compartments that protect the delicate products. Dispensing is via a gentle spiral mechanism or drawers that prevent breakage. Customers can choose between different pack sizes: 6, 10 or single eggs. Payment is cashless or by coin.

Egg vending machines are mainly found on farms that keep laying hens and enable farmers to sell directly around the clock. Locations on country roads or in villages with high through traffic are particularly successful. In addition to eggs, other farm products such as pasta, honey or potatoes are often offered.

Freshness is the main selling point: the eggs come straight from the farm without going through a supermarket. Many operators combine the egg vending machine with other vending machines for milk, meat or vegetables.
