Re: Plastic barrels
Hi Brian,
A. What type of machine are you converting? Snatch A Can etc
B. Who did you buy the barrels off?
C. Are you converting old machines into new sweet machines?
Cheers
Pablo

Re: Plastic barrels
Hi Brian,
Unusual for the barrel to break, what has actually broken?
I get an order next week from tubz vending with a few plastic barrels to convert the ribbed 'snack a can' machines. I have about 20 of those critters to change but thought I would try a few over the xmas, run a full machine or more through the machine to make sure everything works as it should. I put new £1 mechs in the ribbed machines however, I find that several of the machines jam due to 1.5 pots dropping. I have put this down to the depth of the metal barrels hence the conversion that I shall try. I will be doing this very soon so will keep you posted, will also look at any area that is weak or problematic.
Cheers
Pablo

Re: Plastic barrels
Right problem solved and ive been a muppet lol. i didnt take off the tape over the metal pin that stops you turning the barrel too quickly. Big thanks to tubz vending brands who picked it up on here and rang me this morning. Palbo on some of the very old Chinese metal barrels the cast can break on them after a few years.
