In Cup Plus is committed to further pioneering vending technology whilst setting new quality and safety standards which are rapidly becoming benchmarks for the drinks vending industry.

How Is Our Vending Machine Different?

Most current drinks vending machines use a 1950's "wet" drink mixing system which require a rigorous daily cleaning regime that is essential to avoid bacterial growth.

Environmental Health Magazine carried out an investigation and concluded that 80% of vending machine operatives were not practising the recommended daily four stage cleaning/ disinfecting cycle and 23% of automatic vending machine nozzles were contaminated with E Coli type 1.

In Cup Plus have designed a range of unique, hygienic and fully automatic drinks vending machines which offer greater hygiene standards than the current industry standard.
