VendingMiser® Product Features:

VendingMisers Benefit the Environment – One VendingMiser reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 2200 lbs. of CO2 and 3600 grams of NOx each year.  (Based on occupancy and the Environmental Information Administration’s national average of greenhouse gas emissions and electricity generation.)


VendingMiser is Easy to Install – The new Easy-Install VendingMiser allows installation with no tools.

VendingMiser is Invisible to Users – equipment is powered up when anyone approaches the machine, and is powered down when the area is vacant.

Product Integrity is Maintained –VendingMiser measures ambient temperature and compressor current, repowering the vending machine as needed to ensure that cold product temperature is maintained.

VendingMiser is Accepted for Use by Coke and Pepsi –Vending Miser has been tested by The Coca-Cola Company and The Pepsi-Cola Company and they have concluded that the VendingMiser has no impact on product quality or on the vending machine.

Product is Always Available for Vending – The customer never sees a powered down vending machine.

VendingMiser Product Description

VendingMiser (U.S. Patent No. 6,243,626) represents a technological breakthrough in intelligent and economical control of vending machines, which significantly reduces energy consumption without compromising the vended product.

Utilizing a custom passive infrared sensor , VendingMiser powers down a vending machine when the area surrounding it is unoccupied and automatically repowers the vending machine when the area is reoccupied. VendingMiser's intelligent controller uses fuzzy logic to learn from the habits of the building occupants, and modifies the time-out period accordingly.

An optional Sensor Repeater allows the control of a bank of vending machines with a single sensor, minimizing installation time and visual impact.

Additionally, VendingMiser monitors the ambient temperature while the vending machine is powered down. Using this information, VendingMiser automatically powers up the vending machine at appropriate intervals, independent of occupancy , to ensure that the vended product stays cold.

VendingMiser also monitors electrical current used by the vending machine. This ensures that VendingMiser will never power down a vending machine while the compressor is running, so a high head pressure start never occurs. In addition, the current sensor also ensures that every time the vending machine is powered up, the cooling cycle is run to completion before again powering down the vending machine. This unique process also ensures a cold vended product.

The VendingMiser will also reduce the maintenance costs and extend the life of the vending machine by significantly reducing the number of compressor cycles that are run.

VendingMiser's unique approach to power management makes it the most advanced energy saver available.
