The #1 Mistake in Vending
β And How to Fix It
Most people think vending issues come from the machine β motors, software, or payment systems. The reality is different.
β The biggest problem in vending is often coil selection and product fit. Not the machine β the setup.The Role of the Coil
- Motor turns β coil rotates
- Product moves forward
- Gravity drops it into the bin
One clean rotation = one sale. If the product doesn't fit the coil properly, everything breaks down.
Double Vends
Product is too small for the coil. Extra space allows multiple items to move forward simultaneously. The coil turns once β two items fall.
Jams & Stuck Products
Product is too big or packed too tight. The coil can't rotate smoothly. Item gets stuck β resulting in a failed vend.
Inconsistent Drops
Poor spacing or awkward product shapes. Sometimes it vends, sometimes it doesn't. No pattern, no predictability.

Coil Positioning Tips
Adjust coils so the coil end sits around the 5β6 o'clock position to prevent products from sliding out prematurely. For bigger boxed products this is less critical.
The coil can technically be set to any position β just be sure to test your motors to confirm full 360Β° revolutions after any adjustment.
β οΈ Depending on your configuration, you may not be able to fit the final product in each row.
