Refurbished AMS 39 Snack Machine – 40-Selection Sensit Merchandiser
The Refurbished AMS 39 Snack Machine is a full-size, 5-wide snack vending machine built by AMS (Automatic Merchandising Systems) and rebuilt to like-new operating condition. Measuring 72 inches tall by 39 inches wide by 35 inches deep, it delivers up to 40 configurable selections behind a heavy glass front, so operators can stock chips, pastries, candy, crackers, granola bars and other packaged snacks side by side in one footprint. It is the machine many route operators reach for when a single location needs high capacity and dependable delivery.
What sets the AMS 39 apart is the patented Sensit® guaranteed-delivery system: an infrared sensor bank at the delivery bin confirms the product actually dropped. If a snack hangs on the spiral, the customer is offered another selection or an automatic refund – which cuts complaints, chargebacks and service calls. Paired with AMS EnergySensit® power management, the AMS 39 stays reliable in high-traffic spots while keeping running costs down.

About AMS (Automatic Merchandising Systems)
AMS, Automatic Merchandising Systems, is a long-established American vending manufacturer based in Kearneysville, West Virginia, known for modular snack, food and combination machines and for the Sensit guaranteed-delivery technology that carries across its lineup. AMS machines are prized on routes for parts commonality and serviceability. You can review the manufacturer’s platform and options on the official AMS Vendors website. Because the AMS 39 shares the Sensit control set with the rest of the family, replacement boards, motors and validators are widely stocked – a real advantage for operators keeping machines in service for years.
Where the AMS 39 Earns
With 40 selections and a tall 5-wide cabinet, this machine suits medium-to-large indoor accounts that need variety and volume from one point of sale: corporate offices and break rooms, manufacturing floors, hospitals and clinics, schools and teacher lounges, gyms, apartment community rooms and waiting areas. Its footprint fits best where you have a solid wall and a nearby outlet. As a general rule, the more foot traffic and the longer the dwell time at a location, the better a high-selection snack machine like the AMS 39 typically performs, because shoppers can find a snack they want on almost every visit.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many selections does the AMS 39 snack machine have?
Up to 40 total selections. The trays and spirals are configurable, so you can mix snack, chip, candy and cracker rows to match what sells at your location.
Can I add a credit card reader to this AMS 39?
Yes. The AMS 39 runs on the MDB payment standard, so a cashless reader such as a Nayax VPOS Touch or Cantaloupe ePort can be added for tap, chip and mobile-wallet payments. Ask us to include one before shipment.
What power does the AMS 39 need?
A standard 120 VAC / 60 Hz grounded wall outlet – no special electrical work required for indoor placement.
Will the AMS 39 fit through a standard doorway?
The cabinet is 39 inches wide, so it will not clear a typical 32-36 inch interior door. Plan for a double door, a 40-inch-plus opening, or temporary door removal, and confirm your delivery path before it arrives.
Is this machine new or refurbished?
Refurbished. It has been professionally inspected, cleaned, tested and function-checked to work like new, and it carries our 1-year limited warranty.
Does it guarantee product delivery?
Yes. The AMS Sensit® infrared sensor confirms each vend; if a product does not drop, the customer gets another selection or an automatic refund.
How is the AMS 39 delivered?
By curbside freight, with free shipping across the continental US. We dispatch within 1-2 business days after payment, with typical transit of 3-7 business days.
