Most popular capsule

Post by Vend And Glow »

Hi Everyone

I want to vend capsules as part of my new Glow novelty vending machine, but i am unsure as to what the most popular size capsule is as i have no knowledge of the capsule machines.

I imagine my machine will only vend one size capsule so what would you say is best, i want to be able to have a good choice of products to vend. Doesn't just have to be glow or flashing.

I also notice a lot of the capsules are not round, are there any that are round and popular?

Thanks

Lee

Hi Dan

We use a 63mm round capsule in our machines and have no real problem in vending them. Be aware of how many you plan to put in a 'bin' on the machine. If we put more than 100 the motor does start to struggle wee bit. Depending on the product the capsules can be quite heavy thus if in a manual machine the mech can be quite hard to turn on a full 'bin'. Be sure that they are a good quality as cheaper ones tend to come apart and split.

Hope this helps
