Reducers for vending: how to design efficient, quiet and safe machines

This CLR technical eBook is aimed at manufacturers, engineers and designers working on the development of vending machines. With a practical and in-depth approach, this guide covers all the key aspects that must be considered when selecting a speed reducer for vending systems, from the definition of requirements to the final validation of the product.

What will you find in this guide?

• Keys to correctly defining the needs of the project: type of movement required, environment of use, durability, precision and user experience.
• Fundamental technical parameters: torque, speed, work cycles, consumption, efficiency and size of the reducer, considering both DC and brushless motors.
• The importance of “sound pleasantness” in vending, with psychoacoustic studies and design techniques aimed at minimizing annoying noises in public or commercial environments.
• Regulatory requirements that vending machines must meet in Europe: CE marking, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), RoHS, REACH and more.
• CLR's role as an integral supplier in the development of motion systems for vending: from co-engineering to custom manufacturing with lifespan tests, sound validations and regulatory compliance.
• Success stories where CLR developed specific solutions for wallets, product dispensers, door opening systems, and other critical mechanisms.

This guide is ideal for those looking to create vending machines that are more efficient, safe, quiet and adapted to the requirements of the end user and the international market.
