Combo Vending Machine — Snack + Drink in One Cabinet

Quick answer

A combo vending machine pairs a refrigerated drink cabinet with an ambient snack cabinet under one payment terminal. Capacity ranges from 480 to 540 items; the master-slave layout doubles capacity without a second terminal. Choose AB spiral for speed or AA elevator for fragile and boxed products.

Product overview

A combo cabinet is the practical answer when one site needs both cold drinks and shelf-stable snacks but only has space for one payment point. The master cabinet carries the screen, payment terminal and network connection; the slave cabinet adds shelves and capacity.

AB combinations use spiral shelves for fast, low-cost delivery. AA combinations use elevator delivery for bags, boxes and fragile packaging. Both keep one product catalog and one reconciliation report across the linked cabinets.

Buying and configuration questions

Why choose a combo instead of two machines?
A combination shares one payment terminal, screen and network connection, which reduces hardware cost and simplifies reconciliation. It also presents a single product catalog to the customer.
How much floor space is required?
The linked cabinet measures 1942×1876 mm (AB) or 2047×2320 mm (AA). Leave clearance for door opening, loading and ventilation.
Can the two cabinets hold different temperature zones?
Yes. Ambient, chilled and mixed configurations are available; the zone split is fixed at order.
Does it need two power points?
The linked cabinet uses one control system. The power requirement and socket layout are confirmed with the installation drawing.
Is the combination shipped as one unit?
It is shipped as linked modules for transport and site access, then assembled and commissioned on site.
Can one side be a locker or specialty cabinet?
Multi-function combinations can link ambient, refrigerated and specialty modules under one interface. The exact mix is confirmed per project.
Which combination is better for bagged snacks?
AA elevator delivery is the safer choice for bags and boxes because the product is carried to the pickup door instead of dropped.
