Propane Vending
Our propane vending machines are available in standalone and modular units. Our products have two issued patents #10,008,068 B2 issued 26 June 2018 and #10,699,510 B2 issued 30 June 2020.
Our operational readiness rate for deployed machines is over 99%. The only moving parts are the electro mechanical locks which are guaranteed for one million cycles. On the rare occurrence that there is a fault, the operating system runs self- diagnostics prior to vending and will not vend a compartment with an error code (stuck door, locking sensor inop, no Cylinder detected, proximity sensor inop) and vends from the next operational compartment so the customer is always satisfied. The propane vending machine produces real time sales data so you never run out of cylinders and emails you when there are faults or when it is low on cylinders. The 5.6” touchscreen user interface is designed for outdoor use. An additional button mounted inside the customer interface compartment allows for cash sales by store employee if desired.

Customer Aids
- Operating system runs self diagnostic prior to vending and will not vend a compartment with an error code (stuck door, locking sensor inop, no Cylinder detected, proximity sensor inop)
- If customer accidentally shuts door before removing Cylinder, door reopens and will continue to reopen until cylinder is removed
- If customer fails to return cylinder or close door User interface prompts with the error
- ADA button for mid and lower compartment sales
- Clear simple instructions
- Cylinder will only fit back into the compartment in the upright position and the compartment is sized so that when the door is closed the cylinder will be in the proper place for sensor to detect
- Customer never knows if there are compartments that are not operable and the machine will continue to vend until all working compartments are vended
Anti-Theft
- Individual compartments with individual locks require large investment of time and effort to defeat
- The compartments are sized so that if the expanded metal on the door or side of the compartment is cut away, the cylinder will not fit through the compartment frame
- The locks have more than 1200 lbs holding strength
- If someone decides to put a ferrous object in the compartment other than the empty cylinder, their credit card information is already stored so any more than one attempt will easily identify the thief
