About Automatic Products

Automatic Products International built its reputation on durable, easy-to-service snack and beverage equipment, and the AP 123 remains a route workhorse decades after launch. The brand’s snack line was later folded into Crane Merchandising Systems, and the shared MDB architecture is exactly why these machines are still simple to maintain and upgrade today. If you’re new to the equipment, the fundamentals of how coin mechs, bill acceptors, and spiral delivery work are well documented in this overview of the vending machine.
