A Modern VE Curve Revision Door
The VE Curve revision door gives this Automatic Products 113 snack machine a refreshed appearance. The curved styling and dark finish make the front look clean and easy to approach. A bright display can also help customers see the snacks before they make a choice.
The revision door updates the user-facing side of a proven commercial snack cabinet. This can be useful when a location wants equipment that looks current but does not need the cost of a completely new machine.
- Operator tip: Inspect the door, glass, trim, delivery area, and payment openings during setup. Keep the front clean so customers can read prices and view products.
- Before purchase: Confirm the exact configuration and condition with the seller.
Refurbished Commercial Construction
This is a refurbished commercial snack machine, not a small countertop dispenser. Full-size equipment is useful when a site needs several product choices and enough inventory for repeat purchases.
Refurbished condition can vary by unit. Confirm the exact cosmetic grade, installed components, and any replacement parts with the seller before purchase. A product photo may show a representative machine.
- Operator tip: Ask about the inspection process, warranty coverage, and what will arrive with your order.
- Before purchase: Confirm the exact configuration and condition with the seller.
Six Shelves for a Flexible Snack Mix
The six-shelf layout gives an operator room to organize snacks by size, price, and demand. One shelf is described as a candy shelf. The remaining space can support other suitable packaged products, subject to coil and tray fit.
A simple layout helps customers find what they want. Place popular products at easy-to-see levels. Group similar snacks together and keep the front of each row neat.
- Operator tip: Shelf configuration and actual usable selections should be verified on the specific refurbished unit.
- Before purchase: Confirm the exact configuration and condition with the seller.
One Candy Shelf
The listed one-candy-shelf configuration can help operators offer smaller packaged candy items alongside chips and other snacks. A dedicated candy area makes the product mix easier to organize.
Candy packs differ in width, thickness, and packaging stiffness. Test each item in its assigned coil before filling a whole row. A candy item that fits one coil may not fit another.
- Operator tip: Use product dimensions and actual vend tests rather than relying only on the name of a shelf.
- Before purchase: Confirm the exact configuration and condition with the seller.
Dual Snack Coils
Dual snack coils are listed as part of this configuration. Paired coils can help support suitable packages during a vend. This is especially useful for certain wider or less stable snack bags.
Coil spacing, rotation, and timing still matter. A package can snag if it is too wide, too tall, or placed at the wrong angle. Test new items and adjust the planogram as needed.
- Operator tip: Do not assume every selection has paired coils; confirm the actual tray layout.
- Before purchase: Confirm the exact configuration and condition with the seller.
Drop Sensors and Delivery Feedback
Drop sensors are intended to detect whether a selected item reaches the delivery area. They add a useful layer of feedback during the vending process.
A sensor does not eliminate every possible jam. Dust, product shape, and poor loading can still affect delivery. Keep the sensing area clear and check the system during routine service.
- Operator tip: Test several products from different shelves after moving or loading the machine.
- Before purchase: Confirm the exact configuration and condition with the seller.
LED Lighting
LED lighting brightens the display area and helps customers see the products. The Curve door also includes lighting around the front and delivery area as described by the seller.
Good lighting is valuable in indoor break rooms and other areas with mixed light levels. It makes the machine easier to browse and can improve the look of the vending area.
- Operator tip: Inspect lighting during setup and keep the viewing area free of dust and residue.
- Before purchase: Confirm the exact configuration and condition with the seller.
MDB Multi-Price Electronics
The MDB multi-price system supports different prices for different selections. Operators can set a price that fits each product rather than charging one price across the entire machine.
Price control matters when product costs vary. A premium snack may need a higher price than a basic candy bar. Review all settings after a reset, service visit, or payment hardware change.
- Operator tip: Confirm the installed controller and payment device versions before adding accessories.
- Before purchase: Confirm the exact configuration and condition with the seller.
Five-Tube Coin Mechanism
The product listing specifies a five-tube coin mechanism. Multiple tubes can hold change for everyday cash transactions. The amount and mix of coins available will depend on how the mechanism is loaded and configured.
Keep enough change in the machine to serve cash customers. Check for rejected coins and test change payout during each service visit.
- Operator tip: Exact coin mechanism brand and model should be confirmed for the individual unit.
- Before purchase: Confirm the exact configuration and condition with the seller.
Bill Acceptance
The listed bill payment setup accepts $1 and $5 bills. This helps customers who prefer cash or do not have a suitable cashless payment option.
Bill acceptance depends on the installed validator, its settings, condition, and current currency support. Test clean bills in both listed denominations after delivery.
- Operator tip: Ask the seller to confirm the validator model and supported bills if this is critical for your site.
- Before purchase: Confirm the exact configuration and condition with the seller.
Credit Card Reader Capable
The electronics are described as credit card reader capable. This means the machine can be a candidate for a compatible cashless upgrade. It does not mean a reader comes installed.
Cashless service may require a reader, mounting hardware, a data plan, account activation, and professional installation. Hardware and service fees are separate unless explicitly included in a quote.
- Operator tip: Confirm the exact reader, connection, mounting position, and provider requirements before buying.
- Before purchase: Confirm the exact configuration and condition with the seller.
DEX Protocol Support
DEX support is listed for this machine. Compatible systems can use DEX data to review vending activity and other machine information.
DEX features depend on the installed control board and any external telemetry equipment. A compatible reader or management service may be needed to collect and use the data.
- Operator tip: Do not assume remote inventory reports are available without the right connected hardware and service.
- Before purchase: Confirm the exact configuration and condition with the seller.
Selection Count and Capacity
The seller lists approximately 30 to 40 selections and a capacity of about 300 to 400 products. These are planning figures, not a guarantee for every snack size.
Large chip bags use more space than compact candy packs. Coil spacing and tray setup can also change how many items fit. Use a real product plan to estimate capacity.
- Operator tip: Verify the exact selection layout and inventory count on the delivered unit.
- Before purchase: Confirm the exact configuration and condition with the seller.
Machine Size and Access
The listed cabinet size is 72 inches high, 38 inches wide, and 35 inches deep. Measure the location before scheduling delivery.
Allow extra space for the open door, loading, service work, and safe movement around the machine. Hallways, door frames, elevators, and turns can be more restrictive than the final installation spot.
- Operator tip: Confirm actual dimensions, handling requirements, and site clearance with your mover.
- Before purchase: Confirm the exact configuration and condition with the seller.
Choosing the Right Location
A snack machine works best where people can reach it safely and easily. Indoor break rooms, employee lounges, shared offices, and other approved sites may be good candidates.
Look for steady foot traffic, clear visibility, a suitable power outlet, and enough space for service. Permission from the property owner or manager is essential.
- Operator tip: Match the product mix and service schedule to the people who use the location.
- Before purchase: Confirm the exact configuration and condition with the seller.
Building a Balanced Product Mix
A balanced snack lineup can include familiar favorites and a few alternatives. Start with products your customers already buy, then test new choices in small quantities.
Track what sells and what sits. Slow items use valuable shelf space. Popular items may deserve more than one selection if demand supports it.
- Operator tip: Avoid overfilling slow-moving rows simply to make the machine look full.
- Before purchase: Confirm the exact configuration and condition with the seller.
Setting Prices
Different products have different costs. Multi-price control lets an operator set prices by selection and update them when needed.
Consider product cost, site commission, taxes where applicable, payment fees, spoilage, and restocking labor. Customers should see clear, accurate prices before buying.
- Operator tip: Test the price displayed and the amount charged for each selection after programming.
- Before purchase: Confirm the exact configuration and condition with the seller.
Loading Products Correctly
Good loading habits help a snack machine run smoothly. Place products in the correct orientation and keep packages away from tray edges and moving parts.
Do not force oversized bags into a narrow selection. Avoid torn packages and items that lean forward. Rotate older inventory toward the front when practical.
- Operator tip: Run a test vend whenever you change the product, coil, or row configuration.
- Before purchase: Confirm the exact configuration and condition with the seller.
Planning a Service Route
A full-size snack machine can reduce the need for very frequent small refills, but service needs depend on sales volume.
Plan visits around actual demand. Check inventory, clean the front, remove expired items, and test payments. A short checklist can make each visit more consistent.
- Operator tip: Record problems and repairs so small issues do not become repeat service calls.
- Before purchase: Confirm the exact configuration and condition with the seller.
Cleaning and Routine Care
Keep the glass, keypad, delivery area, and coin and bill openings clean. Follow the machine and component instructions for safe cleaning.
Use suitable cleaning materials and avoid spraying liquid into electronics. Turn off power before service when the manual requires it. Keep the machine dry and free from loose packaging.
- Operator tip: Schedule periodic inspections of trays, coils, wiring, sensors, and payment hardware.
- Before purchase: Confirm the exact configuration and condition with the seller.
Delivery and Installation
Commercial vending machines are heavy. Arrange suitable delivery equipment and experienced movers. Do not assume ordinary parcel delivery or one-person handling is appropriate.
Check the planned path from the truck to the final location. Verify floor conditions, door clearance, and any building delivery rules. Place the machine on a stable surface.
- Operator tip: Have qualified personnel address electrical or installation questions.
- Before purchase: Confirm the exact configuration and condition with the seller.
First-Day Testing
Before opening the machine to customers, test several selections across the cabinet. Check cash acceptance, change payout, pricing, display, delivery, and lighting.
Try products from the candy shelf and the larger snack shelves. Watch for package jams and confirm the delivery sensors behave as expected.
- Operator tip: Keep a short record of test results and any adjustments made.
- Before purchase: Confirm the exact configuration and condition with the seller.
Working with a Refurbished Machine
Refurbished machines can provide commercial capacity at a lower upfront cost than many new models. They can also show normal signs of prior use.
Condition, available parts, and exact hardware vary. Ask for current photos and a clear list of installed features when details matter.
- Operator tip: Review the seller warranty and return terms before arranging freight.
- Before purchase: Confirm the exact configuration and condition with the seller.
Payment Upgrade Planning
A cashless upgrade can make the machine more convenient for some locations. First check whether the installed board and harness match the reader you want.
A payment provider may require a merchant account, cellular coverage, activation, and ongoing fees. The machine price alone does not cover those services.
- Operator tip: Ask for a complete estimate that separates the machine, reader, installation, and recurring charges.
- Before purchase: Confirm the exact configuration and condition with the seller.
Reducing Failed Vends
The best way to reduce failed vends is to match each product to a suitable coil and load it consistently. Drop sensors help with delivery feedback, but product fit remains important.
Check coil spacing, package size, shelf level, and tray movement. Remove damaged items and retest after every adjustment.
- Operator tip: If a problem repeats, stop selling from that selection until it is checked.
- Before purchase: Confirm the exact configuration and condition with the seller.
Why a Modern Door Matters
A machine is part of the room where it stands. A clean front and bright display can make the vending area feel more inviting.
The VE Curve revision door updates the appearance while retaining the practical function of a commercial snack vendor. This can help a location refresh its equipment without replacing every part of its setup.
- Operator tip: Keep the door and display clean to preserve that updated look.
- Before purchase: Confirm the exact configuration and condition with the seller.
Ordering and Availability
The product page identifies SKU A-S113RD-1CV. It currently shows the item as out of stock, so availability may change before an order can be placed.

Why Buy A Refurbished Machine?
Great Returns - Commercial Grade Machines - Affordability
New vs Refurbished
We used to sell new machines as well as reconditioned ones. We no longer sell new, for one main reason.
According to a recent survey of vending operators, about 93 out of 100 potential vending accounts don't generate enough revenue to justify the cost of new equipment. New machines are great if you have high volume accounts, but most people do not have these accounts.
Typical pricing on new "commercial grade" machines:
- Can drink machines: $6,200–$7,400
- Snack machines: $6,600–$8,500
- Cold food machines: $8,900–$11,700
(Priced with mech and validator, typical options, vendor pricing not including sales tax or shipping in some cases.)
As you can see, that's quite high compared to used or refurbished equipment.
Please remember 'anyone and everyone' can call their machines refurbished but what does that really mean? Please see our machine ratings page for what we actually do to our machines. Many of our competitors don't even 'clean or paint the inside' of the machines.
Start small and grow as you can afford it.Many people start in the vending business without much knowledge, and that can hurt them financially if they're not careful.
All of the machines that we sell are full size, commercial machines. There are many machines that are made that are small, countertop or mechanical coin acceptance. These machines are fine if you are a housewife looking to make a little extra money on the side. We used to sell those type of machines and no longer do. The main reason is that people who were serious about vending would out grow these type of machines in several months.
Small mechanical machines have two main problems:
- They don't make change or accept dollar bills
- They "work you to death" — frequent refills for very little payoff
Most hold under 100 products and gross only $40–$50 per full restock, and profit is less than half of that.
A full-size commercial machine, by contrast, usually holds 350 to 600 products and empties out at $250–$500. Since you spend most of your time just driving to the location, you might as well fill 500 products instead of 50.
