An operator that makes vending machine hygiene a priority.

At the very start of the Covid-19 pandemic back in early 2020, we said that we didn’t have to change any of our hygiene procedures in response to the virus. Our pro-active measures were already far sufficient.

As a trusted vending machine operator, there are lots of aspects that set our service apart from the competition. Our hygiene procedures are just one of these, built from promises you won’t find elsewhere.

Why vending machine hygiene cannot be overlooked.

The cleanliness and hygiene of a working environment will play a big part in how happy, safe, and comfortable an employee feels.

Of course, food and drink are a big part of hygiene, which is why every vending machine operator has a duty to ensure their standards are set extremely high. Modern day vending is extremely advanced, yet something as simple as poor hygiene can destroy the overall experience for the customer.

Some operators believe that the minimal shared touch points a vending machine contains, which naturally makes it more hygienic than using a kettle or heading off site into busy environments, means little more needs to be done.

Coinadrink’s hygiene methods have been pro-active since 1962, going the extra mile to leave nothing to chance.

Our hygiene procedures form part of our trusted operated vending machine service. They are also included at no extra cost on our water cooler services.

Hot drinks vending machine hygiene.

Lots of businesses across the West Midlands and beyond enjoy total peace of mind with our range of hot drinks vending machines.

Included in our service is the removal of contact parts inside your equipment to be sanitised using our unique facilities back on our own premises. We are the only vending machine in the country to do this.

These parts are replaced with those that have already been sanitised to reduce downtime, and form part of our visit to clean and replenish your vending machine.

This is an example of pro-active measures that deliver total peace of mind. We could just give the equipment a wipe down, but by sanitising parts that you can’t see we are reiterating our position as a company you can trust.

Fresh food vending machine hygiene.

Meanwhile, our fresh food service receives similar levels of attention, again for our customers’ peace of mind.

We follow the HACCP procedure at all stages of the food lifecycle, from the moment we receive stock from our range of trusted suppliers to when they are placed in your fresh food vending machine or Micro Market.

This is very much an ongoing process. Throughout the years, we have been able to streamline our service through technology that assists our efforts.

Thorough temperature probing is carried out at all stages, including in our temperature-controlled vehicles. Should the readings ever dip below eight degrees Celsius for too long, all high-risk items are appropriately discarded of using the correct waste streams.

We are able to monitor products even when our operators are not around, too. Our machines and the smart fridges in Micro Markets’ will lock if the temperature rises above the required level, ensuring of consumer safety.

We will then be alerted to act accordingly.

Our HACCP policy, tailored to suit the way we operate, helps us to remain pro-active with regards to food hygiene measures. By being able to identify risks, we can eradicate them.

Water cooler hygiene.

Drinking water is one of the most important types of refreshment you can offer your workforce. Coinadrink enhances the quality with regular water cooler sanitisation included in your service.

In similar fashion to our hot drinks vending machines, our operators will visit your premises on a schedule tailored to suit your usage and follow our own bespoke procedures to flush out your cooler and ensure it is always safe to use.

This is applicable to both our bottled water coolers and mains-fed water dispensers.
