Products for vending machines
Linear and plain bearing technology, e-chains, gears, and gearbox solutions for vending machinery
Snack vending machines in busy places, coffee machines at gas stations, ticket vending machines at train stations, and cigarette vending machines at supermarket checkout counters. The variety of vending machines in our everyday lives is vast. But many of the requirements for moving components that allow vending machines to function smoothly are the same.
The primary concern for lead screws and nuts, linear rails, plain bearings, gears, and cable guidance systems are that they work reliably, avoid maintenance, and reduce costs. This is where our motion plastics come into play.

Linear robot system for maintenance-free 24/7 operation
"Build or buy": Tips on designing vending machinesVending machines are in vogue. The manufacturer must decide how the products are stored, presented, and made available to the buyer – and how to design the inner workings of the movable product dispenser. One option is lift systems combined with preconfigured linear robots, but there are others. The white paper outlines what is possible and what the designer should consider during project planning to achieve the right vending machine for a given application.

igus blogs: topics and trends relating to vending machinery
How do you build a compact, lightweight vending machine?
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?
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?
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.
