Abstract

See full text

An automated beverage machine for vending of hot, cool and cold beverages including coffee, tea, chocolate, flavoured beverages, milk beverages and cold/iced beverages is shown in FIG. 1 at 100. The machine provides improved utility, with simplified on-site installation, sophisticated power management, content and machine condition sensing and highly automated cleaning and waste disposal requiring minimal operator intervention. A fully modular system using modules 110 allows minimisation of repair downtime, as both predictive and reactive maintenance can be instituted by removal and replacement of the designated module 110. The modular nature extends to the user interface provided on the front of the device which can be interchangeable allowing different “skins” to be presented. Optional automated and simplified cleaning allows minimal maintenance, and a highly automated and self cleaning internal waste removal system additionally reduces any downtime and user intervention requirements.
