ADVERTORIAL - Cotton Candy Vending has taken its candy floss vending machine to an even higher level of profitability with the addition of the MEI 2700 bill acceptor with recycler option.

The recycler allows the unit to dispense change when a patron uses a US$5 or $10 bill to pay for the $2 to $3 vend price for a candy floss The patron can either make additional vends or take their change.

The recycler stores a number of bills for the exclusive purpose of giving change. As these bills are depleted, the unit intuitively replenishes itself as new single bills are put into the machine.

The MEI 2700 knows what denomination of bill it can take based on the amount of singles it currently has inside, and will let the customer know what bills they may use by a back-lit icon on the front of the acceptor.

"We want to be ahead of the curve in removing  all obstacles that might prevent patrons from enjoying cotton candy," stated Marty Man Smith, vice president of sales in North America. "Our cotton candy is just too good for someone to want it and not be able to have it because they simply did not have the ‘correct’ bill denomination to put into our cotton candy vending machine."

Cotton Candy Vending has seen many of its machines placed in very high profile locations where their volume would only be limited by the bills people might or might not have in their pockets. This system will increase an already excellent cash box count, without a doubt thus maximising the candy floss machine’s earning potential.

Cotton Candy Vending recently showed its candy floss vending machine, with the MEI 2700 bill acceptor with recycler installed, at the NAMA show in Chicago. It received glowing praise among vendors. Some called it a decision-maker for them to purchase the unit. At the show the manufacturer spoke to a large number of operators representing a wide variety of locations. Locations ranging from airports, to truck stops, to shopping malls, to factories, to theme parks, to family entertainment centres, to store vestibules, and so many more - all with great potential for the candy floss vending machine.

The MEI 2700 Bill Acceptor with Recycler is a purchase option, as the standard units are shipped with the MEI 2400-which is fine for many locations.  The 2700 is more suited for the transient locations that have a lot of traffic with no access to a change machine.

Another great feature of the MEI 2700 is the ability to change the face plate to one that has a bill entry as well as a credit card swipe built in that will add the ability to take credit cards in the near future.
