About Ice Vending Kiosks
The Ice Vending Kiosk machine is a commercial grade ice vending machine that makes and dispenses ice (and pure filtered water) onsite at any time. The ice vending machine will make and sell pure filtered ice (and filtered water) all day and all night long.
Paying customers simply insert their money and retrieve a plastic bag that is vended by the machine before holding it under the ice vending chute. The bags are made extra long to enable a knot to be tied at the top and can even be sold separately to customers who are only seeking a plastic bag.
Alternatively customers can simply position their esky directly under the ice vending chute and the ice vending machine will do the rest.
Ice Vending Kiosks are also equipped with an elaborate water filtration system that allows pure filtered water to be dispensed as required. The ice vended from the ice vending machine is also run through the filtration system ensuring that there is no frosting or bad taste to the ice and no contamination from multiple handling in a factory environment like other ice suppliers.
Using just 15% of the energy that a traditional ice supplier uses, the Ice Vending Kiosk is without rival and represents a significant green investment opportunity on many fronts. Thousands of plastic bags can be saved every year using a Green Machine given that customers are able to vend ice directly into their own container if they choose to.
Every now and then a new product comes along that revolutionizes a particular industry, and the Ice Vending Machine will revolutionise the ice industry.
Why an On-site Ice Vending Kiosk
Traditional ice suppliers regularly experience many problems at multiple levels. Retailers frequently run out of ice and the promised delivery from the ice supplier rarely arrives when it needs to. Often the bags are semi melted on arrival and the prices charged by the ice suppliers for what is essentially just a bag a bag of frozen water are exorbitant. Traditional ice freezers to store the ice are required and can be using additional electricity to freeze just a few stored bags. Theft of ice bags from traditional ice freezers is a problem, and staff must be on-site to monitor and take payment for the ice.
24 / 7 - 365 Days a Year
Most retailers don't open 24 hours a day and therefore their ice sales are restricted to the hours that they are open. This means that they often miss out on sales from the early morning fisherman or the late night partygoer. The Ice Vending Kiosk will sell ice (and pure filtered water) for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
How Does It Work
The Ice Vending Kiosk machine uses a dispensing method unlike any other! The simplicity of the machine is simply stunning and it has been specifically designed with very few moving parts. The ice machine has a rotating bin concept with internal chute geometry that dispenses one vend of ice based on a single rotation of the bin with no internal moving parts. Only one strong industrial motor and gear head that is made to run endlessly for years.
Other brands of ice vending machines that have failed in the marketplace over time usually involve the agitator/auger method. Under this system the ice needs to be regularly mechanically agitated to stop it from sticking together and a large mechanical auger is used to dispense the ice. This method is extremely prone to breakdown and mechanical failure and can not be trusted to reliably operate without incident for many years as is the case with the Ice Vending Kiosk.
Clean and Green
The Ice Vending Kiosk uses just 15% of the energy used by current ice suppliers to make , deliver, package and sell a bag of ice. The current ice supply system involves a massive carbon footprint including much larger ice making machines at a big factory, onsite freezer storage, factory freezer storage and most importantly, large polluting trucks on the road every day delivering ice. Compare that to the small amount of energy used by the onsite ice vending kiosk. The fresh pure filtered water system is also a significant attraction for environmentally minded consumers.
Profitable
But in the end the most compelling reason to replace your existing ice sales method with a Ice Vending Kiosk is profit. The cost to produce a bag of ice from the Ice Vending Kiosk in power and water varies slightly in different areas but given that you will no longer have to pay the power bill for an onsite ice freezer running all day, the reduced waste, less theft and increased after hours sales, the financial proposition becomes almost irresistible.
