Hygiene As A Critical Vending Business Component
It is very important to maintain the cleanliness of your Planet Antares vending machines at all times. After the Planet Antares vending machines have been refilled, you must remove all trash, soda cases and other empty boxes from the equipment.
Equally important is the need to keep the immediate area of the vending machine well lighted and provided with a covered trash receptacle. It should also be protected from any overhead leakage or condensation from water, waste or sewer piping.
You can mount the vending machine on a stand so that it is at least 6 inches off the deck. This will make it easier for the vending operator to clean under and around the vending machine. Also, check that the surface of the vending machine inside or out is not sticky or dusty.
The door and panel to the Planet Antares vending machine and any access opening for food should be tightly sealed. Replace any worn out gasket material to prevent dust or other particles from entering. Workers should be provided with adequate hand washing facilities near the vending machines.
For vending machines that dispense potentially hazardous food material, provisions like refrigeration or heating units and thermostatic controls which will ensure the maintenance of safe food temperatures are a must. Automatic controls need to be provided to prevent the machine from vending food in the event of a power failure or a mechanical failure.
For the vending stage of a Planet Antares vending machine, a delivery chute or tube must be provided with a tight fitting self closing cover. The exteriors must be designed and fabricated to reduce the entrance of insects and rodents. Effective sanitation can be done through screening of ventilation louvers.
The personal hygiene of all the personnel is a must for servicing the vending machines properly. Make sure that they wash hands at all times, do not use tobacco, wear clean garments, etc whenever they engage in any kind of servicing of the vending machine.
Microwave ovens are often attached to vending machines. The cavities and door edges need to be cleaned at least one a day to keep them free from grease deposits and other accumulated dust or soil.
Planet Antares vending machine operators must maintain a record of the vending machine operations at all times. These should be available at the time of inspection and need to be accurate.
