Although you generally would not think of vending machines as large electricity consumers, they are on 24/7 and over a year can run up a significant bill. In low to medium traffic areas, Enercon International will recommend infrared activated controllers for cold vending machines. Endorsed by over 100 Utility companies and installed at over 100 Universities and schools, these controllers save an average of 46% on the cost of running a vending machine while still maintaining the usual and expected cold temperature for the dispensed soft drinks and juices.
