Vending machine classification is mainly based on the vending machine’s cargo channel system. Early vending machines were mostly spring loaded, but now vending machines have developed into a situation where a variety of aisles co-exist. In terms of aisles, vending machines include spring aisles, lift aisles, serpentine aisles and lattice vending machines. There are also specialised vending machines which, as the name suggests, are designed to sell certain goods, such as freshly ground coffee vending machines and freshly squeezed orange juice vending machines.

The following is a specific description of the different types of vending machines and what they can sell.

1.Spring-loaded vending machines
The spring-loaded vending machine was the first to appear in the market. The advantage is that they can sell a wide range of products, but they also have the problem of a high jam rate. This is because different products are packaged in different sizes and the springs function in the same way. This is why jams can occur. Currently these vending machines are mostly used for convenience store goods such as snacks, noodles, drinks, ham and so on.

2.Checkerboard vending machines
In terms of functionality, the checkerboard vending machine does not use aisle technology, but rather a way of popping open the door of the cabinet to pick up goods. In terms of the principle of implementation, the lattice vending machine is the simplest to manufacture. This type of vending machine is also able to sell a relatively large number of items without getting stuck. Different sizes and shapes of goods can be accommodated. At present, lattice vending machines are mostly used for the sale of erotic adult products or high margin products that need to be displayed.

3.Serpentine vending machines
The snake aisle vending machine can be seen as an upgraded version of the spring aisle vending machine. In terms of technical implementation, the serpentine vending machine is more complex and requires a higher manufacturing process, and is of course more expensive than the spring aisle vending machine. This type of vending machine is mostly used for the sale of beverages. Many comprehensive beverage vending machines have serpentine aisles. There are many advantages to this type of vending machine, such as high space utilisation, low failure rate, long machine life, good insulation, low operating costs and simple replenishment. Disadvantages are also obvious, the price is higher, maintenance is more difficult, and because of the high level of technology general vending machine manufacturers are unable to manufacture.

4.Vending machines with lifting heads
These vending machines are also spring or tracked goods, but with an additional automatic lift, they can sell a variety of goods such as fruit, vegetables, boxed lunches, eggs, soup and other goods that are afraid of falling or bumping.

5.Specialised vending machines
This vending machine has a single function and is dedicated to selling one type of product, such as coffee vending machines and freshly squeezed orange juice vending machines.

6. Customised vending machines
If the manufacturer’s current vending machine does not yet meet your current merchandise vending needs, then it is possible to customise the vending machine specifically from the manufacturer. Of course customisation has requirements for the amount of vending machines, for example some manufacturers will specify at least 5 customised units before they are made etc. Also because they are customised, the time frame will generally be longer. Bespoke vending machines can be made to your point of need, creating a vending machine that perfectly matches your vending needs.
