Selling goods through vending machines (this direction is called vending) is an affordable and promising type of business. No one is surprised anymore by the machines with coffee, carbonated drinks, chocolate bars, cigarettes, chewing gum and even frozen pizzas standing in many outlets or just on the street.

For consumers, this method of sale is attractive due to its convenience and accessibility (you can buy goods at the vending machine at any time of the day), for entrepreneurs - low costs. After all, the work of a compact outlet does not require additional staff: salespeople, accountant, cleaning lady, etc. All operations - whether it is mixing ingredients for coffee or simple issuance of goods - is carried out automatically.

"Green" vending

Chicago entrepreneur Luke Saunders decided to expand the range of vending machines. Instead of such familiar products as chocolate, coffee or popcorn, he developed a new, more healthy menu - fresh salads from vegetables and fruits.

In Chicago, several of his devices are already in test mode, which solve the problem of healthy eating for busy people. To everyone, the machine in a branded glass jar gives out a fresh salad of cabbage, peas, tomato and other ingredients chosen by the buyer.

Operating principle. The machines work as follows: there are separate compartments inside the machine, in which products prepared for distribution (cut vegetables and fruits) are placed in advance. After the buyer's order, all the necessary ingredients are poured into the container in layers.

In order for the final product to have an attractive appearance, and for the vegetables not to lose their freshness and nutritional properties for as long as possible, the entrepreneur developed a special bookmarking algorithm: the hardest products are poured onto the bottom of the jar, then more tender and juicy ones. The components are not mixed with each other - this will be done by the consumer immediately before use.

Such a kiosk requires special attention: if chocolate bars can be loaded as they are sold every few days, or even once a week, then green salads should be the freshest. Therefore, the compartments are loaded daily - at 5-6 o'clock in the morning. The cost of one serving of salad is from 3 to 12 $, and after six o'clock in the evening the kiosk makes a discount in order to sell as many servings as possible before the delivery of a fresh batch.

Marketing. Luke Saunders dubbed his vending machines "Farmer's Fridge", which is fully consistent with the concept of the product. Sufficient attention was paid to the appearance of the device - it is completely different from its faceless counterparts. The farmer's refrigerator is finished with wooden panels on the outside, and the roof is adorned with improvised green grass.

Given the fact that more and more people are thinking about healthy eating lately, it can be assumed that such convenient “restaurant” machines will be a success. Luke Saunders is confident that in the near future he will be able to build a whole network of farm refrigerators.

• where to get fresh vegetables and fruits;
• who will cut the vegetables;
• who will deliver the cutting and load the machines;

Since the launch of the first ZUMMO Vending model to this day, the vending machine has remained the leader among machines of this type worldwide. Today, this particular car can be found at the largest airports in the world (Sheremetyevo 2 and Domodedovo, of course, no exception), large exhibition and sports complexes, and, in general, almost everywhere when it comes to selling freshly squeezed juice through a vending machine.

Among the advantages and differences of the machine:

Reliability, proven by time.

The openness of the juicing process.

No tubes. Juice enters the glass directly from the squeezing module.

Internal walls of the case from stainless steel. Juice is very corrosive so paint steel should be used.

High batch preparation speed.

Very simple programming.

A unique pressing system that really eliminates the bitter oils contained in the peel from getting into the juice.

Maximum autonomy. Only power supply is required to connect the machine.

Automatic flushing with flexible settings.

Simple and fast maintenance of the machine.

Bright, eye-catching design.

Another feature of the machine is its versatility in docking with payment systems.. The machine simultaneously supports two of the most common protocols: MDB and EXECUTIVE, which significantly increases the choice of payment systems.
In order to inform the customer about current processes, the vending machine is equipped with an information display with pictograms.

Display signals:

The main programmable parameters of the ZUMMO Vending vending machine:

NUMBER OF ORANGE PER SERVING. You can select the number of oranges to squeeze for one serving of juice. The recommended amount is 3 oranges per 200 ml serving of juice.

TIME BETWEEN WASHINGS. The vending machine is equipped with an autowash system. It consists of three nozzles that wash the blade of the knife, wash the pulp from the squeeze pan and rinse the filter. You can set the time between automatic flush cycles in hours.

SERVICE COST. You can set any cost per portion with a "step" of five rubles.

JUICE TEMPERATURE. The cooling system automatically maintains the temperature set by you inside the body of the machine.

The vending machine has several security systems:

If the machine fails during the preparation of juice, the coin acceptor returns the amount of money deposited by the buyer.

If, for some reason, during operation, the wringing mechanism is blocked, after a few seconds, the engine automatically stops and the fault signal lights up on the display.

The machine has temperature sensors for the wringer and conveyor motors, which stop the motors in case of overheating, and the display informs the buyer about this malfunction.

The cup feeder motor is designed in such a way that if the cup does not reach its compartment within 8 seconds, the motor stops and the display indicates a malfunction.

The low voltage circuits are protected by two 6.3A fuses located on the control panel.

The standard package does not include a number of components that can be supplied at the request of the customer:

Wheel set. You can replace the standard machine legs with wheels.

A set of stickers for the side walls of the vending machine.

Payment systems: coin acceptor and bill acceptor.

GSM modem for remote control of the machine.

Selling bananas and fresh vegetables from snacks is quite problematic. It is necessary to withstand the storage temperature and several other factors in order for the product to remain fresh for a long time. And such a snack was developed and presented to the public.

Wittern Group Inc. one of the largest snack producers in cooperation with Del Monte Produce Inc. - introduced a vending machine selling fresh fruits and vegetables.

Wittern engineers have developed a snack with two temperature zones and tight control of air movement. Fans located next to the freezer direct the cooled air into a special box on the back of the snack. Cold air rises to the middle of the snack to a special air distribution mechanism, which subsequently directs it to the bottom of the snack through the food storage area. To maintain a warmer temperature in the upper part of the snack, a special tray with an air heating function is installed in the middle of the snack, the lower part of which is protected by a special thermal protection with foil. Temperature sensors monitor both zones and, if necessary, if the temperature in the upper zone drops below the specified range, heating is switched on.
Such snacks began to be installed in schools promoting a healthy lifestyle and wholesome nutrition.

Del Monte has developed special packaging for longer storage of bananas and sliced ​​fruits.

Each banana is placed in a special free individual plastic package in an unripe state, the air composition is maintained in the package due to which the banana ripens.
The next generation of these snacks will have an elevator and possibly new types of packaging to increase sales through a variety of product types.

Packaging designed by Del Monte

Fresh vending machine is a vending machine designed for pressing and subsequent sale of orange juice. It not only offers the customer a glass of a cool, aromatic drink, but also allows you to see the entire process of making fresh juice through a transparent window.

Otherwise, the principle of its operation is identical to other vending machines: the buyer makes a payment in a bill or coin acceptor, the squeezing system of the machine cuts the orange into 2 halves, squeezes the juice, the buyer takes the filled glass in the dispensing window.

Business Relevance

Fashion for a healthy diet in Europe and America originated in the 60s of the last century. Ayurvedic, raw food, vegetarian cafes and restaurants have been successfully operating in all relatively large cities for a long time. But those specializing in the sale of healthy products, including freshly squeezed juice, began to appear not so long ago - less than 5 years ago, but immediately gained unprecedented popularity.

The thing is that it is practically impossible to keep natural juice in its original form. And heat treatment, as well as the use of preservatives, destroy the most valuable components of the drink: vitamins and enzymes. Vending machines that squeeze juice right in front of the buyer completely solve this problem.

In Russia, the demand for natural juices is like an avalanche. So, the observations of restaurateurs showed that just 5-7 years ago, more than 90% of visitors preferred packaged juices, not wanting to overpay. Today, about 50% of people prefer fresh. Therefore, for domestic business, fresh vending machines are a novelty that promises prosperity to its owners in the near future.

Target audience and placements

When choosing a place to install juice vending machines, you need to consider two main points:

1. fresh drinks are bought by people with an average and high level of income;
2. freshly squeezed juices are of interest to people who care about their health.

Otherwise, a typical portrait of a juice consumer looks like this: a middle-aged man who leads an active lifestyle and has a family. Moreover, despite the fact that both men and children are active consumers of the product, the purchase decision is most often made by women.

Win-win locations for juice machines:

• large shopping centers;
• hypermarkets;
• airports;
• and car services;
• prestigious universities;
• large business centers;
• sports clubs;
• pools;
• administrative buildings;
• entertainment complexes;
• sanatoriums;
• food courts.

Strengths of the business

1. perspective. Demand for freshly squeezed juices in Russia is growing, and the market is still far from being saturated.
2. Possibility of installing the machine in a small area. A full-fledged fresh bar will require at least 4 - 6 m 2, which is not always possible, for example, in a sports center or airport. To install a fresh machine, only 1 m 2 is enough!
3. Attractiveness of the process. Watching the preparation of fresh juice in the machine, as a rule, is very popular with children. At the same time, adults are impressed by something else - that the whole process from beginning to end occurs automatically. Thus, juicing machines solve a problem that is well known to all owners of juice bars: a potential buyer often refuses to buy freshly squeezed juice just because he is not sure about the purity of the process when the fruit is cut by hand and pressed against the extractor also manually.

Weaknesses of the business

1. The need for frequent maintenance. Unlike many other vending machines, fresh machines require daily maintenance: removing production waste, washing the main components, loading fresh fruit.
2. The need to calibrate oranges. The spoons of the squeezing system are designed for fruits of a certain diameter, so this point must be taken into account when purchasing raw materials.
3. High price for freshly squeezed juices. This problem, as a rule, is solved by a careful choice of the installation site of the device. But it is this factor that often hinders the development of the vending network.

Overview of two fresh juice vending machines

Fresh vending machines are a novelty in vending equipment, and there is no manufacturer working in this direction in Russia yet. Therefore, businessmen most often choose Spanish-made machines for work.

The considered fresh machines have a similar principle of operation and an almost identical set of functions. But the Oranfresh OR 70 is almost 80,000 rubles cheaper than the Innovaciones Mecanicas model. Such a discrepancy in prices is easily explained by the difference in the power of the models, which affects not only the speed of preparation of the drink, but also the reliability and durability of the equipment.

The Zummo Vending vending machine wins both in hopper capacity and in the number of servings obtained from 1 load, which is important in places with high traffic. Another undoubted advantage of this machine is the possibility of choosing a set of cups for oranges of larger or smaller diameter. Oranfresh OR 70 does not provide such an opportunity. Nevertheless, it is the Zumex equipment that is equipped with an anti-vandal case, which will significantly increase the service life of the machine.
