Designed for 16 oz Bottle Vending Applications
Bottle vending machines depend on properly matched components to move products through the delivery system. A shim may be a small part, but using the correct shim for the machine and product configuration can be important when servicing the bottle column and related vending components.
The Dixie Narco 80181362011 shim is specifically identified for 16 oz bottle applications. Its listed 3/8" specification and “D” designation make it different from other shims intended for different bottle or can configurations. Using the correct part helps avoid the problems that can occur when a machine is fitted with a part that does not match its intended setup.
Compatible Dixie Narco Machines
This replacement shim is listed for several Dixie Narco applications. It fits Dixie Narco 5591 and DN5000 machines. It is also listed for Dixie Narco 2145 machines with tall gates.
Because Dixie Narco machines can use different shims for different beverage containers and configurations, always compare your existing component with the product specifications before placing an order. The manufacturer part number 80181362011 is the best reference when matching this replacement part.
Why the Correct Shim Matters
Vending machine components work together as a system. Bottle dimensions, gate configuration, product spacing, and internal vending components all affect how a beverage moves through the machine. A correctly matched shim can help maintain the intended configuration of the vending column.
When servicing a machine, replacing a damaged or missing small part can also be more practical than replacing an entire assembly. A dedicated replacement shim allows vending operators and technicians to address the specific component that needs attention while keeping the rest of the machine in service.
New Replacement Part
This Dixie Narco shim is listed as a new part. It is not a refurbished component. For vending operators who are maintaining existing Dixie Narco equipment, a new replacement part can be a convenient option when an original shim has been lost, damaged, or needs to be replaced during service.
The product page identifies the part as new and provides the manufacturer number 80181362011. The Vending World SKU is D80181362011. Keeping these numbers with your machine maintenance records can make future parts identification easier.
Easy Parts Identification
Finding the correct vending machine part is often easier when you have the manufacturer number available. This shim is clearly identified by 80181362011, with the previous part number listed as W212-2. The product is also described as a 16 oz bottle shim, Shim D, tall gate, and 3/8" .340 shim.
These details provide several ways to compare the part with your existing equipment. If you are replacing an existing shim, check the part number, machine model, bottle size, and gate style before ordering.
Useful for Vending Machine Maintenance
Regular vending machine maintenance includes more than cleaning the cabinet and restocking beverages. Small mechanical components should also be checked when servicing a machine. A missing or damaged shim can be an indication that a machine needs attention in the related product-vending area.
Keeping commonly needed replacement parts available can help reduce service downtime. For vending operators managing multiple machines, having the correct replacement parts on hand can make routine maintenance more efficient.
Ideal for Vending Operators and Technicians
The Dixie Narco 80181362011 shim is a useful replacement part for vending operators, repair technicians, and businesses maintaining compatible Dixie Narco beverage machines. Its clearly defined application makes it easier to identify when servicing machines that use the listed 16 oz bottle configuration.
Whether you operate a single beverage machine or maintain a larger vending route, keeping accurate records of machine models and replacement part numbers can save time during repairs. The 80181362011 part number provides a direct reference for future orders and maintenance planning.
Check Compatibility Before Ordering
Compatibility is especially important with vending machine shims. Similar-looking parts can be intended for different bottle sizes, gates, or machine models. Before ordering, confirm that your machine is one of the listed applications and that it uses the required tall-gate configuration.
This product is listed for the Dixie Narco 5591, DN5000, and 2145 with tall gates. It is identified as a 3/8" “D” shim for 16 oz bottles. If your machine uses a different configuration, compare the available Dixie Narco shim options to find the appropriate replacement.
Replacement Part for Beverage Vending Machines
A reliable vending operation depends on keeping machines properly maintained. Small replacement components can be important when restoring a machine to its intended setup. The Dixie Narco 80181362011 provides a direct replacement option for compatible 16 oz bottle applications.
Its compact design makes it a practical part to keep with other vending machine service components. When maintenance is required, having the correct shim available can help technicians address the repair without waiting to identify and source the component.

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.
