Gumball Machines

Quick Reference Sizing and Vend

Some people have trouble evaluating which vending item to use with which wheel. They don’t know witch items work best with the candy wheel compared to the gumball wheel. If you use the wrong item with the wrong wheel, the machine will just keep spilling candies until the globe is empty, making a complete mess in the meantime. Nobody wants to clean up 3,000 little rolling gumballs, so we made a quick reference chart of our most popular item sizes along with the vending amount released per single spin of the coin mechanism. The Candy Wheel has six different settings to control the size of the vend release which his also detailed below.
