Automatic Products 113 VE Snack Vending Machine – 5-Wide, Drop Sensors, Refurbished

Automatic Products 113 snack coils – 5-Wide VE Revision Door

The Automatic Products 113 snack coils is a full-size, 5-wide snack and candy merchant engineered for the routes and high-traffic stops where a countertop unit simply can’t keep up. This particular unit is the VE “Boxed Curve” revision-door build – the later, cleaner glass-front door style – fitted with dual snack coils and iVend-style drop sensors that confirm each product actually falls to the delivery bin. On a heavy-gauge steel cabinet with metal shelves and reliable spiral vend motors, it is a machine built to run for years, not months.

Configured across five to seven shelves, the AP 113 holds roughly 35 to 45 selections and 300 to 400+ packaged items, so a single fill can service a busy break room, lobby, or shop floor between visits. A common layout runs 20 chip/pastry columns, 20 candy/cracker columns, and 5 gum & mint columns, but the shelf spacing is adjustable to match whatever product mix your location actually buys. Because you spend most of your time driving to the stop, a machine that empties out at $250–$500 rather than $40–$50 changes the economics of every visit.

Specifications

Key features that make it earn

• Guaranteed-delivery drop sensors: optical sensors in the delivery bin detect the product falling and, on iVend-equipped units, keep vending or refund if nothing drops – fewer service calls and fewer angry customers.
• Dual snack coils: paired spirals let you run wider bagged snacks and mixed pack sizes without jamming.
• Adjustable shelving: 5–7 shelves reconfigure between chips, candy, pastry, and gum/mint as your location’s sales tell you what sells.
• Programmable controller: individual pricing per column, sales accounting, and simple menu setup.
• MDB payment bus: accepts a coin mech and bill validator out of the box and is ready for a modern card / tap reader retrofit.

About Automatic Products

Automatic Products is one of the longest-running names in American snack vending, built in the Twin Cities and later folded into Crane Merchandising Systems of South St. Paul, Minnesota. The AP 113 platform earned its reputation on durable steel construction and easy-to-service mechanics, which is exactly why so many of these machines are still on route and worth refurbishing today. Parts, coils, and reader upgrades remain widely available, so a well-kept 113 stays serviceable for the long haul.

Where this machine earns

A 5-wide, 400-item snack machine like the AP 113 fits the mid-to-high-traffic locations that justify a full-size footprint: offices and break rooms, warehouses and manufacturing floors, auto shops, gyms, apartment and dorm common areas, laundromats, car washes, and waiting rooms.

Its 72″ x 38″ x 35″ footprint suits any wall with roughly a yard of clearance and a standard 115V outlet nearby. As a rule of thumb, snack machines typically perform best paired with a drink machine at the same stop – the two feed each other’s traffic – and the 113’s large capacity means fewer restock trips per week for a given location.

Because the cabinet is built from heavy-gauge steel and the mechanics are simple to service, this Automatic Products 113 snack coils also holds up well in unheated warehouses, garages, and busy shop floors where lighter machines struggle.

Frequently asked questions

How many selections and how much does the Automatic Products 113 hold?

Depending on shelf configuration it offers roughly 35 to 45 selections across 5–7 shelves and holds 300 to 400+ packaged snack, candy, pastry, and gum/mint items – enough to service a busy location between fills.

Does it take credit cards, or can a card reader be added?

The 113 uses the industry-standard MDB payment bus with a coin mechanism and bill validator, and it is card-reader ready – a modern tap/credit-card reader (such as a Nayax) can be added to accept cashless payments.

What power does it need?

It runs on a standard 115V household outlet; no special wiring is required.
