Raw Materials For Planet Antares Vending Machines
• Galvanized steel
• Lexan or other plastic
• Acrylic powder coating
• Polyurethane insulation
The larger part of the vending machine is created from galvanized steel ranging from 10 gauges to 22 gauges in thickness. For the outside cabinets, external doors and internal tank, the thicker gauges are used. These areas require gauges with such thickness. The inner gauges are used for internal doors and plates, can stacks and mechanisms such as bill validators and product trays.
The front panels of Planet Antares vending machines utilize Lexan, a tough polycarbonate plastic. When it comes to thickness, sheets of Lexan in the vending machine can range from 0.13 in (3.18mm) to 0.25 in (6.35mm). When performance counts, you can trust lexan sheets for durability. It is very tough to break, flame retardant, relatively easy to shape and can be treated to restrict UV rays, light and heat transmission.
Product logos, names and illustrations are silk screened on lexan sheets that are installed in channels on the doors of the Planet Antares vending machine. Lexan sheets products save money by lowering energy and replacement costs every year. This implies a longer life span for your vending machines.
Acrylic powder coatings are colored powders that are used to paint the surfaces of vending machines. This offers the best overall exterior durability and can be formulated into products with excellent chemical, corrosion, detergent and stain resistance. Good hardness and scratch resistance is offered by acrylic powder coatings for your Planet Antares vending machines. Also, a smooth and high gloss finish is provided for your vending machine. Acrylic powders also meet governmental environmental standards.
The inside of the Planet Antares vending machines is insulated through polyurethane foam. A seamless, water proof, durable building envelope is created with its application process. Moreover, it eliminates drafts in your Planet Antares vending machine by completely filling seams, cracks and crevices. The foam is blown between the outer cabinet and internal tank of the machine.
Apart from thermal insulation, the foam adds structural stability to both the cabinet and the tank of the machine. On the whole, it will add to the structural strength of your Planet Antares vending machine.
