Production Technology

The main cabinet is made from folded sheet metal, so the formal expression is concentrated on the front of the machine and towards the user. Here, the main surface creates a sensual volume, and the user interaction takes place in a clearly defined central island. The door is a hybrid construction with metal frame, large pressure formed panels, injection moulded inserts and a big touch interface. The Klix eco cup is at the core. It is the first paper cup without polyethylene lining.

Design Challenge

It is not easy to design a vending machine. Technical requirements and material choices have a huge impact on many design decisions.

Research

Development process through conceptual and formal research, 3D modelling, physical mock-ups, prototyping.

Inspiration

We set out to redefine and reshape the classic vending machine through a new approach and a premium taste experience. A new vision and a perfect balance of efficiency and elegance. Giving shape and expression to the innovative technology, sustainable paper cups and the values of the brand. Klix Advanta is the latest generation of our bestselling system and brings a modern user experience and contemporary design to the existing range. Klix Advanta is an expertly designed vending machine that sets new high standards for quality breaks from a multi-drink system.
