Why buy a combination vending machine
Buying a combination machine suits operators who want one asset earning from two product categories. Snack margins and drink margins land in the same cash box, and you only service one coin mech, one card reader and one refrigeration deck.
Every machine we sell is set up before it leaves us: price file loaded, spirals pitched for your product list, payment system fitted and vend-tested on each selection.
- New machine with manufacturer warranty
- Payment system fitted, tested and configured
- Delivery and placement Australia wide
- Operator handover covering loading, pricing and cash out
- Ongoing parts, spares and service support
What this machine holds
A combination vending machine runs chilled cans and bottles in the lower section, with chips, chocolate, muesli bars and snacks on the spiral trays above. Capacity is typically 30 to 45 selections across snack and drink trays, holding around 300 to 500 items before a restock is due, which is what determines how often you need to visit the site.
The machine suits workplaces of roughly 20 to 120 people that want snacks and cold drinks from a single machine and a single footprint.
Specifications
- One refrigeration deck servicing both the drink and snack zones
- Adjustable spiral pitch so you can run bags, bars, cans and bottles side by side
- Sure-Vend style delivery sensing so a product that does not drop is not charged
- Single-phase 10 amp power point and roughly 950 mm of wall width
Payment systems and what they cost
Machine prices are quoted without a payment system so you can match acceptance to the site. A staff-only tea room may only need a card reader, while a public-facing machine usually wants coin, note and card.
| Payment system | Price |
|---|---|
| Cashless credit card reader (new, installed) | From $550 installed |
| Coin acceptor / coin mechanism (used) | From $295 GST inclusive |
| Note reader, accepts $5, $10 and $20 notes | From $350 + GST |
Payment systems are quoted separately so you only pay for the acceptance you need.
New or used?
A new combination vending machine gives you full warranty and the current cabinet and controller generation. A refurbished machine gets you trading for less, which matters when you are proving a site before committing.
| New machine | Used machine | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Quoted per model | From $2,450 + GST |
| Warranty | Manufacturer warranty | Workshop-tested, warranty on request |
| Lead time | Subject to stock | Usually available now |
| Best for | Long-term sites and tenders | New operators and trial sites |
Frequently asked questions
What is not included in the machine price?
Prices are quoted plus GST, plus your chosen payment system and plus transport to site. That keeps the machine price honest, because a card reader and freight to a regional site are very different costs from a metro cash-only install.
Can you deliver and install a machine I buy?
Yes. We arrange transport Australia wide, place the machine, fit and test the payment system, load the price file and hand over with a short operator briefing.
How many people does a combination vending machine suit?
As a rule of thumb, a combo comfortably serves 20 to 120 people on site. Above that, most locations move to a separate drink machine and snack machine so popular lines do not sell out mid-week.
Can a combination machine hold 600 ml bottles and cans together?
Yes. The drink section is set up with adjustable spirals or shelves so 375 ml cans, 600 ml bottles and 500 ml sports drinks can run in the same machine.
