National 167 VE Snack Vending Machine – 40 Selection, 5-Wide MDB, Refurbished

National 167 Snack Vending Machine – Refurbished 5-Wide SnackCenter

The National 167 snack vending machine is a full-size, 5-wide glass-front SnackCenter built by Crane National Vendors, one of the most proven names in commercial snack automation. This refurbished VE-revision-door unit ships with an upgraded MDB control board, dual snack spirals, and drop sensors, making it a workhorse for high-traffic locations that need reliable, high-capacity snack merchandising. It stands 72 inches tall, 38 inches wide, and 35 inches deep, and weighs roughly 695 pounds fully assembled.

With up to 40 selections and a merchandising capacity of 300 to 400 items, the National 167 lets an operator load a full menu of chips, candy, pastries, crackers, and grab-and-go snacks in a single visit. The dual-spiral trays and dual augers on the chip and pastry rows handle bagged product cleanly, while the illuminated glass front lets customers see exactly what they are buying before they pay. This is the difference between a serious commercial machine and a small mechanical unit that holds under 100 products and empties out at forty or fifty dollars.

National 167 Specifications

Key Features

• Upgraded MDB board: the revision-door control board speaks the modern MDB protocol, so any industry-standard coin mech, bill validator, or cashless reader plugs straight in.
• Drop sensors: an infrared sensing zone across the delivery bin confirms the product actually dropped. If a snack hangs on the spiral, the machine keeps turning or refunds the customer, cutting complaints and lost sales.
• Dual spirals and dual augers: paired coils on the snack rows and dual augers on the chip and pastry shelves feed wide bagged product without jamming.
• Illuminated glass front: LED-lit merchandising display that shows the full menu and draws impulse purchases in offices, lobbies, and break rooms.
• DEX audit: pull sales and inventory data through the DEX port for route accounting and telemetry.
• Field-proven serviceability: National 167 parts, motors, and boards remain widely stocked, so downtime is short and repair costs stay low over the machine’s working life.
• Full-size commercial cabinet: a rigid steel body and deep coil trays built for continuous public use, not the light-duty countertop units that top out under 100 products.

About Crane National Vendors

National Vendors traces its roots to St. Louis in 1926 and became part of Crane Co. in 1985, operating as Crane National Vendors under the Crane Merchandising Systems umbrella (now Crane Payment Innovations / Crane Convenience). Legacy stablemates include Automatic Products and Dixie-Narco. National snack machines like the 167 SnackCenter earned their reputation on serviceability and parts availability, which is exactly why refurbished units stay in the field for decades.

Where This Machine Earns

A 40-selection, 300-to-400-item snack machine fits mid-to-high-traffic sites: office break rooms, manufacturing floors, warehouses, schools, gyms, hospitals, apartment laundry rooms, auto shops, and hotel corridors. The deep capacity means longer intervals between service runs. As we always tell first-time operators, you spend most of your time driving to the location, so you might as well fill 400 products as soon as 50. Pair the 167 with a drink machine or a combo unit at the same stop to build a full snack-and-beverage bank. For help choosing sites, see our Location Placements service and the Buyers Guide.

National 167 Snack Vending Machine FAQ

How many selections does the National 167 have?
This 5-wide SnackCenter is configured for up to 40 selections and holds roughly 300 to 400 items depending on tray layout and product size.

Does it take credit cards, or can a card reader be added?
Yes. The revision-door MDB board is card-reader ready, so a cashless reader such as a Nayax unit can be added alongside the coin changer and bill validator. See our Vending Parts & Accessories for compatible readers.

What power does it need?
It runs on a standard 115V / 60Hz grounded wall outlet, the same as most full-size snack machines. No special electrical service is required.

Will it fit through a standard door?
At 38 inches wide it clears most 36-inch commercial doorways; measure single-leaf residential 32-inch doors before delivery, as the cabinet is 38 inches wide and about 72 inches tall.

Is this machine new or refurbished?
It is refurbished: tested, cleaned, and verified operational before shipment, and covered by our 1-year refurbished warranty tier.

What do the drop sensors do?
The drop sensors confirm each vend actually falls into the delivery bin. If a product hangs up, the machine reattempts or refunds the customer, reducing service calls and lost revenue.

How is it delivered?
By curbside freight from our Minnesota facility, typically 3 to 7 business days after a 1-to-2-day processing window, with free continental-US shipping included.
