Self-service vending machine for bulk foods, pellets, and animal feed. The customer selects the desired quantity, and the machine accurately weighs the product and dispenses it into a bag. The self-service vending machine for bulk foods, pellets, and animal feed offers a hopper capacity of up to 130 kg, a 21.5″ touchscreen, remote management, and optional card or cash payments. It is suitable for selling animal feed, grains, rice, legumes, seeds, and other bulk products up to 24 hours a day.
The self-service vending machine for bulk foods and animal feed allows products to be sold precisely by weight without the need for permanent staff presence. The customer selects the required quantity on the touchscreen, completes the payment, and the machine weighs the product and dispenses it into a prepared bag.
The machine is suitable for selling dog and cat food pellets, bird feed, grains, rice, legumes, seeds, and other bulk products. It can be used in pet supply stores, zero-waste shops, farm shops, agricultural businesses, and standalone sales locations operating up to 24 hours a day.
Self-service sales of bulk foods and animal feed
The bulk food and animal feed vending machine makes it possible to create a standalone sales point that can operate without permanent staff presence. Electronic weighing and controlled dispensing reduce errors associated with manual sales while providing the operator with an overview of completed transactions and current stock levels.
What can be sold in the bulk food and animal feed vending machine
Depending on the characteristics of the specific product, the machine can be used, for example, to sell:

Lightweight or bulky pellets may fill the hopper sooner than grains or other heavier materials. We therefore always design the configuration according to the specific product.

We will configure the machine according to your product
Every bulk product behaves differently during dispensing. Before preparing an offer, we therefore need to know what you want to sell in the machine, where the machine will be installed, and which payment methods you require.
Based on this information, we will assess the product’s suitability, propose a configuration for the EKASP01 vending machine, and prepare an individual quotation.
