Necta · Fresh food vending
Necta Gusto Drum
A 24/7 automatic canteen for fresh food, snacks and drinks.
The Gusto Drum, formerly the Necta Festival, is more of an automatic canteen than a standard vending machine. Rotating drums hold everything from hot-ready meals, sandwiches, salads and wraps to fruit, yoghurts, snacks, cans and bottles.
Each drum can be divided to suit the size of your products, so the layout can be set up for each location. That makes it ideal for workplaces, hospitals, factories and sites that need catering round the clock without a staffed canteen.
Why choose the Gusto Drum
24/7 catering
Fresh meals, snacks and drinks available around the clock, with no staffed canteen needed.
Flexible drums
Up to 10 rotating drums, each split into 12, 18 or 24 segments to fit your products.
Food safe
Food is kept at 0°C to 4°C, and a health timer cuts off sales if the temperature rises.
FIFO dispensing
First in, first out dispensing makes sure the oldest product is always sold first.
Features
Drums and layout
Products sit in rotating drums behind a large glass door. The customer chooses a drum, turns it to the product they want and takes it from its own compartment. You can mix fresh food, snacks, cans and bottles in one machine.
- Up to 10 drums, at 90mm or 130mm high
- 12, 18 or 24 segments per drum
- Holds plated meals, sandwiches, salads, fruit, yoghurts, snacks, cans and bottles
- Backlit FIFO button and numeric selection
Temperature and food safety
The whole cabinet can be kept at one temperature, or the drums can be layered at different temperatures for different kinds of product. A health timer stops sales if food goes above a safe temperature.
- Food kept at 0°C to 4°C
- Uniform or layered drum temperature control
- Health timer for food temperature safety cut-off
- Energy-saving mode and R290 natural refrigerant
Pricing, payment and design
Flexible pricing means you can run meal deals or reduce prices near the end of the day. A premium black front with LED lighting puts the food on show.
