Constituents of Planet Antares Vending Machines

The raw materials used for making quality, durable vending equipment include four major elements such as:

• Galvanized steel
• Lexan or other plastic
• Acrylic powder coatings
• Polyurethane insulation
A large part of Planet Antares vending machines is created with Galvanized steel. It ranges from 10 guages to 22 guages in thickness. External doors and internal tank and the outside cabinets are made with the thicker guages. These parts require internal guages for internal door and plates, can stacks and mechanisms such as coin validators and product trays.

The front panels are built using a tough polycarbonate plastic, Lexan. When it comes to thickness, sheets of lexan in the vending machine can range from 0.13 in to 0.25 in. in terms of performance, laxen sheets provide high level of durability. It is very difficult to break, flame retadant, easy to shape and can be treated to restrict UV rays, light and heat transmission. These lexan sheets are also used for Silk screening of product logos, names and illustrations. In effect, you can save money by reducing energy and replacement costs and hence, improves the life of your Planet Antares vending machines.

The surface of Planet Antares vending machines is painted using acrylic powder coating. It offers the best overall exterior durability and can be formulated into products with excellent chemical, detergent and stain resistance. This material also offers benefits like hardness and scratch resistance for your Planet Antares vending machine. It also gives a smooth and high gloss finish for your machine. Moreover, Acrylic powders meet the governmental environmental standards.

Polyurethane foam is used to insulate the interiors of the vending machine. It helps to create a seamless, waterproof, durable covering layer. Additionally, it provides structural stability to both the cabinet and the tank of the machine.
