Standing Out in the Crowd
It all started back in 1960 when one of the most important engineering plastics became available- Delrin. Delrin or Celcon is termed to be the most “metal-like” plastic because of its strength and rigidity allowing it to perform many functions that only metals had preformed previously. This plastic is lightweight, durable, low wear, and low friction. It is unaffected by moisture and is resistant to common solvents and chemicals. So what does all that have to do with our coin mechs- everything!
After reading about this wonder plastic being used to replace many metal parts on the Space Shuttle we thought that if it was good enough for NASA we would do some research on it ourselves at U-Turn. It turns out that we found it to be an excellent replacement for traditional metal coin mechanisms. It was of course much lighter weight reducing machine weight and shipping costs. But the real perks were the durability and the longevity it added. These new plastic mechs were created using a mold injection process which virtually eliminated any possibility of a manufacturing defect. The plastic is oil impregnated making itself lubricating over time so you avoid any type of chipping or cracking over the life of the mechanism. Also because it is made of plastic you can avoid any problems with rust and corrosion. And maybe the best feature we discovered with this new innovative coin mech was that when tested on location against a standard metal coin mech it had 98% less coin jams. We have equipped our plastic coin mech with a drop though feature that allows odd coins like pennies, nickels, and dimes to fall through the coin slot directly into the coin box turning what used to be a coin jam into pure profit for you. Another great feature is that when combined with the other movable parts inside the coin mechanism, this mech is very hard to pick-which alleviates a big worry of anyone who has ever owned a vending machine.
With all of these advantages we at U-Turn felt very confident in offering this coin mechanism to our customers and backing it up with a lifetime guarantee. Feel free to stop in at our company headquarters and give our coin mech a try or call one of our knowledgeable staff at 1-800-584-8887 to learn more advantages of the U-Turn vending machines.
