MCC Service Tips

Vended Laundries

Increasing Prices on Vend-Rite Soap Venders: Changing Out Coin Slides

Most laundromats use 4-8 column venders for detergent, softener, bleach and bags. Like everything else, the cost of these vended products has gone up dramatically. Most of these venders have coin slides that accommodate either 5 or 8 quarters. These slides can be changed out to accommodate higher pricing. The slides are manufactured by Greenwald or ESD. Greenwald units only require that you remove coin blocks. ESD requires new functional cores to be swapped in. We can email you more detailed instructions to change the vend price for Greenwald and ESD slides upon request.

The parts required are minimal and the procedure takes about an hour. If interested, please contact our parts department, let them know what brand slide you have and what vend price you want. We will send you the instructions and appropriate parts. We also provide the vend price amount stickers.
