AND NOW THE END IS NEAR…IT’S TIME TO FACE THE FINAL CURTAIN 28 Apr 2021, 2:33 pm

The EASY 6000: More than just a Fresh Food drum vendor

The news of Shopper 2 going into ‘End of Life’, has been a blow to many in the industry. 

But do not fear the Easy 6000 is here and is a great alternative. 

Predominantly designed as a Fresh Food drum vendor it has proved itself to be so much more time and time again with customers using to not only dispense other edible goods such as honey or bottles of fresh milk but medical equipment or even sanitary items. (Bottle guards can be fitted to the end of each compartment to avoid products from rolling out).

Externally, the Easy 6000 is one of the most powerful, durable, and dependable machines available today. With all of the modern features, you’d expect from a drum vendor, as well as some unique and updated features.

 

Standard Configuration

  • 8 Drums in total
  • Drum Height = 110mm
  • 4 drums x 24 items
  • 4 drums x 12 items

Total Items at Standard Configuration = 144 Items 

All drums can be configured to 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24 or 48 compartments

Dimensions – (H) 1830 x (W) 910 x (D) 800mm

Externally Intuitive

The Easy 6000 comes standard with a shopper button, allergen information screens, digital price displays, interchangeable slots for payment systems, and coin and change slots.

The products are clearly visible through the large viewing windows and are lit with energy-saving LED lighting throughout. Full custom graphics can be added to the main surround or the backlit bottom panel for a more impactful statement.

Internally Versatile

Internally the Easy 6000 can only be described as versatile. Each drum can be reconfigured to hold a maximum of 4 x 9″ plates, ensuring that nutritious meals can be served in their entirety. The internal temperature is never allowed to rise above 8 degrees thanks to the built-in health timer (this feature differentiates it from a snack machine).

Intelligent

The digital pricing displays next to each drum can show live pricing; if you want to put three different items in each drum, you can set three different prices. The price will automatically update as the unit rotates.

After you have made your selection and removed your chose product that compartment will not be selectable until the machine is restocked. This ensures the customer always receive a product.

Unlike our competitors, the Easy 6000 includes a discount timer as standard. You can use this unique function to set a discount price for various times of the day or specific days of the week. For example, we set up a customers machine to discount the contents after 6 p.m. and to provide free products to employees on Saturdays. Alternatively, if your site employs shift patterns, you might want to allow only four of the drums in the morning and the other four in the afternoon to ensure that all employees have access to fresh produce.

It will automatically rotate each drum after each use so that the most stocked items are in the front viewing area, making your unit appear fully stocked at all times.

Easy, simple servicing

Each drum can be pulled out and even removed completely to make things very simple. Cleaning the dishwasher-safe drums and shelves is a breeze now!

Key Features & Benefits

  • 8 Drums as standard
  • Health timer
  • Individual door and drum motors
  • Custom allergen labels (accessible from the front)
  • Slide-out fridge
  • Anti Vandal side panel
  • LED lighting
  • Shopper Button
  • Digital pricing displays per drum with a live pricing system
  • 3 Point locking system
  • Optional Lockable cash box
  • Dishwasher safe drums
  • Patented air circulation system
  • Fully insulated cabinet and door
  • Fits all card payment systems
  • Discount timer
  • Cable Management system to avoid wires tangling in mechanisms.

#WomenOfWestomatic 8 Mar 2021, 4:19 pm

Today, 8th March, marks ‘International Women’s Day’ so we thought now would be a great opportunity to celebrate the #WomenOfWestomatic.

As an equal opportunities employer, over the past half a century, the #WomenOfWestomatic have always been integral throughout the entire business. From HR to distribution, sales, marketing and engineering.

Helen ‘H’ Martin plays an important role in our Marketing Department, making sure all web based content and marketing material looks as fantastic as it does. Helen gets stuck into any project or problem she faces with a refreshing ‘can do’ attitude, we’d all be lost without our H.

Jess Tozer is the voice that you’ll most likely hear first if you call Westomatic. On the frontline, even though she’s the youngest member of the Westomatic family, her quick problem-solving skills and technical knowledge is quite remarkable.

Kat Brinsley works in multiple areas of the business, including making sure our parts and stock system is absolutely tip top. She also provides photography and videography throughout the business, and as a personal trainer, she also promotes a healthy lifestyle for us all and has been known to swat a cake clean out of your hand!

Katie Hammond handles all of our new sales leads, and if you meet Katie, it’s an experience you’ll probably never forget. Boundless energy and enthusiasm, she’s superb at what she does and to all those who work with her.

Nicola Baker who works in purchasing has been with us the past few years to make sure our stock levels are maintained and keeps the factory running as smoothly as it does.

Sandra Croucher & Cherie Luton are assemblers on the production line in our factory who help build our drinks machines, so next time you enjoy a drink from a Westomatic machine, you can thank them both!

We’d also like to take this opportunity to make a special mention to our Commercial Director, Andrea Goswell who celebrates her 18th year at Westomatic later this month. Having joined the Westomatic family in 2003, Andrea is greatly admired by many who’ve worked alongside her within the food & beverages industry. Her professional and caring nature is demonstrated in everything she does and we’re delighted to have her as part of the Westomatic family. Being front-facing, you may have received a live machine demonstration from Andrea over the years, complimented by her encyclopedic knowledge of the industry. You may also know that she’ll be able to tell you pretty much everything there is to know about vending machine refurbishment, having headed up the division for the majority of her time with us.

We’re sure you’ll join us in celebrating the hard work and dedication from all the #WomenOfWestomatic, who’ve been instrumental to our many achievements throughout the industry.

Thank you.

Would you call a chef to fix your toilet? NO?

Of course you wouldn’t. They deal with leeks and pies, not leaks and pipes.

THINGS THAT MAKE MORE SENSE

  • Quantum Physics
  • Setting money alight
  • The square root of PI

  • DISMANTLE – Machines are stripped back to the bare bones
  • REPLACEMENT – Components are replaced with OEM parts. Other parts are cleaned and tested.

Time to Talk Day: Healthy Body, Healthy Mind? 4 Feb 2021, 3:27 pm

Time to Talk Day: Healthy Body, Healthy Mind?

Westomatic-Time-To-Talk-Blog-Feature

Today is Time to Talk Day – part of an annual campaign to change the way people think and act about mental health problems. We’re encouraging people to talk.

Below, we also explore the positive impact good physical health and regular exercise has on mental wellbeing.

January: Statistically the most depressing month in a ‘normal’ year, and even more so during a global pandemic and third national lockdown.

According to the Office of National Statistics Almost 1 in 4 adults have experienced some form of depression during the pandemic.”  A quarter of the entire adult population in Britain.

There were media reports of mental health issues doubling during the first lockdown, with those aged 16-39 the worst affected. The harsh reality is that this trend is likely to continue or worsen the longer this pandemic goes on.

The Christmas excitement is over, and January rolls round. Dark, cold, rainy – and being plunged into another lockdown. It is easy to see how people’s mental health and wellbeing has been so badly affected.

So, what can we do?

Talk, Talk, Talk.

“A small conversation has the power to make a big difference,” the Time to Change campaign says. The campaign suggests you can make a difference by following a few really simple steps:

  • Check in with family and friends: A simple “how are you?” can go a long way.
  • Listen and don’t judge: It’s time for them to talk – and it’s time for you to listen.
  • Treat them the same: Don’t let a person’s mental health affect the way you approach them or treat them.
  • Ask twice: People will often say they’re ‘OK’ when first asked. Ask again! “Are you sure?”

ask-twice

Exercise Regularly

There are many things recommended to help your mental health, but one of the simple and easiest things to do from home to boost our mental wellbeing is physical exercise.

Since launching our EVOLVE nutrition dispenser in January, we at Westomatic HQ have pledged to get fit and healthy for 2021. Our team has already lost a combined 44KG in weight and are feeling much better, mentally, because of it too.

Regular exercise has been shown to give people more energy throughout the day, feel more relaxed, have a sharper memory and sleep better at night. Let’s be honest – we always feel better after getting a good night’s sleep. Both the body and mind needs to be fully rested.

Do we need to run marathons or cycle for miles to get fitter and feel better? Actually, no.

Start Small

Research tells us that we only need to do modest amounts of exercise to make a real difference. 30 minutes every day to get your heart pumping and blood flowing should do it!

No matter your age or fitness level, exercise can be used as a powerful tool to boost your mental wellbeing, and to improve your energy and outlook on life.

Be SMART

Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Timebound (SMART). Especially when it comes to setting yourself targets, make sure they’re achievable and realistic, or they could have an adverse effect on your physical and mental health.

Saying “I’m going to run a marathon tomorrow”, when you get out of breath walking to the end of the road at the moment, is probably going to be counter-intuitive.

Think Outside the Box

There are many ways to start your journey, and now more than ever the resources available don’t require expensive equipment and gym memberships. Luckily, we have so many free resources at our fingertips just waiting to be tapped into. You can check out our home workout tips here.

The Couch to 5K app is also a good resource. Of course, this is just one of the many apps out there to help get us active and feeling good about ourselves. If running is not your bag, there are apps, live streams and YouTube videos for things like Yoga and Meditation, which are renowned for aiding mental wellbeing.

Endorphins for the win!

The brain releases several “feel good” chemicals when we experience pleasure. Dopamine and endorphins work in a way that masks discomfort, reduces anxiety and stimulates the feeling of joy.

Your brain pumps out chemicals to make you feel happy, as well as the chemicals that make you feel stressed or anxious. So not only do people say exercise helps you feel better, but it’s actually scientifically proven!

One thing to be certain of is increasing your exercise can only improve your physical and mental health in the long run. Combined with the right nutrition, and the right amount of rest, you’ll feel stronger, fitter and healthier – both mentally and physically.

EXERCISE IS THE BEST MEDICINE NHS

Chat and a Chuppa?

We might not be able to physically meet for a cuppa and a chinwag at the moment. But, we’re always here at the end of the phone (or Zoom!) if you need us. Don’t sit there and suffer in silence. Talk to us.

Fuel Your Business with the EVOLVE Sports Nutrition Drink Dispenser 20 Jan 2021, 4:38 pm

Fuel Your Business with the EVOLVE Sports Nutrition Drink Dispenser

On 4th January, we launched our new EVOLVE Sports Nutrition Drink Dispenser – a completely contactless, eco-friendly machine that is set to shake up the sports nutrition drinks market globally.

The global sports nutrition market is predicted to be worth $67.5 billion in 2021, growing to $81.5 billion by 2023. Not only is it a rapidly growing market, it now has a varied and ever-increasing customer base.

According to Nutrition Insight, the sports nutrition market has achieved average annual growth of approximately 23% since 2015. Once almost exclusively appealing to fitness fantastic and bulked-up bodybuilders, Innova Market Insights suggests the market is no longer and ‘specialist segment aimed at dedicated athletes’.

Revenue from Sports Nutrition Drinks Sales

Whereas a hot drink from a vending machine might have a selling price of £1, and a cold bottled drink out of a vending machine might cost £1.50, sports nutrition drink refills from the EVOLVE have an RRP of £2 – £3.

Why? Because powdered sports nutrition supplements are more expensive. A gym-goer will spend up to £30 or more for 1KG of whey protein powder from the supermarket, for example.

What that does mean for you, though, is: 1) A higher per-drink selling price will enable you to drive much more revenue out of a single machine, 2) Fitness fanatics are comfortable with spending – and do spend – a lot of money on sports nutrition drinks.

A higher per-drink selling price, and an abundance of keen customers, can only mean one thing: more revenue.

Numbers in Context

By selling just 10 sports nutrition refills per day at £2 per drink, a single EVOLVE will generate £7,300 in annual drink sales. Step that up to 25 refills per day and you’re looking at a yearly haul of £18,250. Selling 100 drinks per day – not unachievable in a large gym setting or similar – will generate £73,000 annually.

Now, multiply that over a number of sites. Say a gym Group has 20 sites across the UK, with each housing an EVOLVE. Across the Group, an average of 50 drinks per day are sold at £2 per drink. That’s £730,000 in additional revenue per year for the Group. Let that sink in…

With this in mind, let’s take a look at how long it will take for the EVOLVE to pay for itself by way of drinks sales:

Bulking Up

A gym’s financial performance is usually utterly dependent on the number of members it has on its books. Members typically pay a monthly or annual fee to use the gym, its facilities and equipment.

But, now, with the EVOLVE machine, a gym can generate a significant amount of additional revenue without the need to increase its membership base (which can often be costly and time consuming).

A gym with an EVOLVE dispensing 50 drinks per day (at £2 RRP) will generate annual revenues that are equivalent to 101 members paying £360 for an annual membership, for example.

Not bad, aye?

Advertising Revenue

And that’s not to mention the revenue that can be generated by selling advertising space on the EVOLVE’s 12-inch media screen. From fitness clothing to sports nutrition brands, the EVOLVE can play static or video adverts – for hours on end. It offers a complete media advertising opportunity that can forge a new revenue stream for your business.

Charge a monthly or annual fee for advertising ‘space’ and watch the wonga roll in.

Even More Revenue?

As the EVOLVE needs a reusable shaker bottle to get a drink (no single-use cups are provided), there is an opportunity to cross-sell shaker bottles, generating even more revenue. The reusable bottles can be sold at the gym’s reception, for example.

Or they can be housed in a vending machine similar to one in our Snackpoint range, for a completely contact-free and self-service solution. Charge a monthly or annual fee for advertising ‘space’ and watch the wonga roll in.

The Subscription Model

All of us live in a subscription world. The majority of us are ‘subscribers’ of something – and we usually pay for the privilege, too. We subscribe to Netflix for TV, Amazon Prime for online shopping (and even more TV), and HelloFresh for weekly food boxes. We are subscribers of everything.

It’s safe to say, then, that consumers are more than comfortable with subscriptions. It’s just the way things are now. The norm. And, so, it makes sense to introduce this subscription model to gyms, leisure centres and training facilities for drinks dispensed by EVOLVE.

This subscription model – where a customer would pay ‘x’ amount per month for ‘x’ amount of drink dispenses – has proved highly successful and lucrative for customers who purchased the EVOLVE’s sister machine, the H2O Hydration Station, for sports facilities in the UK.

Could the same model work for the EVOLVE, too? We think so!

A Versatile Dispenser

Whilst gyms, leisure centres, hotels and other fitness training facilities might seem like natural homes for the EVOLVE, the reality is that there is a growing demand for sports nutrition drinks ‘on the move’ – anytime, anywhere, and not just in sports or fitness facilities.

Large logistics transport hubs, for example, where drivers need an energy boost. Or, in high-footfall public places were people need nutritional drinks on the move.

2020 was a year we’d all rather forget. 2021 will no doubt be better. But, it could be even better. Fuel your business and EVOLVE your future.

#WestomaticWorkout: Home Fitness Tips and Nutrition Supplements Info from our In-House Personal Trainer 18 Jan 2021, 4:15 pm

#WestomaticWorkout: Home Fitness Tips and Nutrition Supplements Info from our In-House Personal Trainer

Kat - Westomatic Workout

This week, our in-house Personal Trainer, Kat, shares some home workout tips and gives us the lowdown on the different types of nutrition supplements available on the market at the moment. Kat, who was also the Project Lead for the development of the EVOLVE nutrition drinks dispenser, shares her expert insight below…

The options for exercising at home are endless. You don’t need lots of equipment to get fit and stay in shape during Lockdown 3.0.

One of the most important things to remember when deciding to start exercising is to listen to your body! When you go out for a walk, make sure you walk at a pace that gets the blood flowing. There are loads of great apps out there that help you follow a plan. For running, the Couch to 5K app is a really great way to steadily build up.

And you don’t need lots of equipment to start working out – using your own body will deliver great results.

Home Workout Tips

Here are my top four exercises to get you moving:

  1. Squats – excellent for working that booty!
  2. Star Jumps – great for cardiovascular fitness
  3. Push Ups – keeping our arms, back and shoulders strong
  4. Sit Ups – the most important part of the body is the core as it supports the rest of your body.

You don’t even need a dedicated fitness regime to workout at home. Whether it’s making a cuppa or even watching TV, there are plenty of opportunities to get in a few squats or star jumps.

Try doing 20 squats in the shower in a morning and add in 20 star jumps as you are waiting for the kettle to boil. Then use the advert breaks on the TV to do 20 push ups and 20 sit-ups, and you will be making a big difference to your day.

The Lowdown on Nutritional Supplements

Many people assume that, to lose weight, you must do loads of exercise. The reality is that what you put into your mouth is 80% of the battle. Nutrition is key – and many people use supplements to add to their diet. Some give you a pre-workout hit of caffeine to help you work harder and smarter in the gym, others deliver essential nutrients that will help recovery and muscle repair.

Whether it’s at home or in the gym (when they reopen!), adding nutritional supplements into your diet can aid your fitness regime and achieve your goals. Here is a little lowdown on some of the key supplements currently available on the market:

Pre-Workout Supplements

Sometimes you turn up for a workout and feel tired – you may have had a long day at work, or a bad night’s sleep and feel particularly sluggish or unmotivated. Pre-Workout supplements may be the answer to still getting in a great workout. Taken 20 mins before exercise, it gives a buzz due to its caffeine content.

Many studies have reported increased focus and energy after taking it. A study published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition reported that a combination of Pre-Workout and HIIT sessions resulted in significant increases in training volume and speeding up of the rate at which reasonably-fit athletes lost body fat.

Electrolytes

Electrolytes are minerals that carry an ‘electrical charge’ and are essential for the body’s health. In order for cells, muscles and organs to work properly we need fluid and electrolytes. The electrolytes help regulate the balance of fluid in the body. They also help the body produce energy and stimulate muscle contractions – including the heart beating.

When we sweat, we lose salt and minerals that need to be replaced. If they’re not replaced, we can end up dehydrated and feeling fatigued. In extreme cases we may feel faint, experience muscle cramping and feel dizzy. Electrolyte supplements taken during and after exercise help to replace and balance the body’s mineral, salt and hydration levels, ensuring we remain hydrated and able to function as normal.

BCAA (Branched-Chain Amino Acids)

Branched-Chain Amino Acids, or BCAAs, are compounds that combine to form proteins, which are essential for the body to break down food, grow and repair. BCAAs taken as supplements are used before, during and after exercise. BCAAs are essential amino acids – meaning they can’t be made by the body, and so must be ingested through food or supplements.

Taken as a supplement within a fitness program, these BCAAs can delay fatigue during prolonged exercise and improve performance. They also help to protect and repair muscles, as well as reduce muscle soreness post-workout. They can also help with an improved immune response.

Protein Supplements

Protein is in every cell of the body. You can, therefore, assume that protein is an essential part of your daily diet. Protein plays an essential role in muscle growth, repair and normal function, forming enzymes and hormones, transmitting nerve impulses throughout the body and protecting immune function.

When you work a muscle (using resistance) it forms tiny little tears – which is completely normal, but it is important that your body has enough protein for repairing and building strong muscles.

Protein supplements can be made from animal or plant products and are usually taken post exercise or as a snack. Having a protein-rich diet helps you feel fuller for longer and can aid weight loss. Consuming protein helps to preserve muscle mass during weight loss and therefore can help maintain metabolism.

What’s the magic formula for getting it right?

Well, that’s a difficult question – everyone is different and each person requires a nutrition plan that is suited to their own activity levels, lifestyle and body composition. It’s important to remember that, in order to lose weight, what you consume must be less than what you burn.

How you achieve this can be important, too. Eating a protein-rich and balanced diet will help your body to do its daily tasks. And we all know the risks of eating too much sugar and fat…

The EVOLVE Nutrition Drinks Dispenser

How can the EVOLVE help? Well with four separate, contamination-free supplement options, you could offer one of each of the above drink choices for a range of options. What I would recommend is having a variety of flavour options, perhaps two Protein, a BCAA and a Pre-Workout in your EVOLVE.

Bank this up to a Hydration Station and a Snackpoint machine to offer a full range of options. Having the snack machine loaded with refillable shaker bottles and healthy snacks will help provide the ultimate nutrition solution.

Another great feature of the EVOLVE is the customisable media screen, meaning you can regularly update it – excellent for promotion and advertising products, but could also be used to share exercise tips, recipes and fitness class timetables. While this machine was designed with the gym market in mind, it would also be perfect for a hotel, commuter hub or leisure facility – any place where people might need nutrition on the move.

Find Your Own Groove

What works for one person doesn’t work for the next. Find your own groove! With that in mind, now more than ever, being healthy and fit could save your life. Staying fit and motivated during (yet another) lockdown can be mentally exhausting, but there are more resources than ever to help you.

And with all the extra time at weekends, staying active should be something we all prioritise. There are virtual challenges, tracking apps, plans to follow, YouTube videos to watch, Instagram Reels, TikTok dance routines and, of course, Joe Wicks and his PE lessons to guide you through this lockdown.

We at Westomatic have set ourselves the #Westomatic100 target – that’s 100kgs (220lbs) to lose before the end of the current lockdown. We’ve had some good results already with some big losses coming in!
We are here to help you keep moving, keep your business moving, and to help you EVOLVE your future.

Follow us on LinkedIn for regular updates on #WestomaticWorkout and our #Westomatic100 progress. For more information on the EVOLVE nutrition drinks dispenser, click here or email sales@westomatic.com.

Introducing again… the Completely Contactless, Eco-friendly EVOLVE Nutritional Drinks Dispenser 4 Jan 2021, 10:03 am

Introducing again… the Completely Contactless, Eco-friendly EVOLVE Nutritional Drinks Dispenser

Here we are again… We launched, we went into another lockdown!

But the gym doors are unlocking one by one and now is the time to Evolve your business into a new, unknown future. Now is the time to act and adapt.  

We’re incredibly proud to launch the EVOLVE Nutrition Station: a completely fresh and versatile addition to our product range that is perfectly aligned with the diversification of our business, and our first foray into the global health and fitness market.

The EVOLVE is the world’s first completely contactless, eco-friendly nutritional drinks dispenser. Check it out…

Download the brochure here. Find out more here.

Completely Contactless: No Need to Touch

Users of the EVOLVE Nutrition Station will never need to physically touch the machine. The EVOLVE Nutrition Station is equipped with Hover Select technology, giving gym-goers and alike no need to touch the machine. From selecting a nutritional drink to cashless payment, and dispensing, there are zero physical touchpoints. It is completely Covid-safe.

Although a COVID-19 vaccine is thankfully in the early stages of rolling out across the globe, contactless, self-service machines are an integral part of our ‘new normal’ – especially in health and fitness settings like gyms.

Complete with a contactless payment system, automated retail machines like the EVOLVE are also perfect for health and fitness settings that are open 24-hours per day, and are often unmanned during off-peak and unsociable hours.

Download the brochure here. Find out more here.

Eco-friendly: Think Before You Drink

As users of the EVOLVE Nutrition Station have to use their own bottle or shaker, just 50 dispenses a day will remove over 18,000 single-use plastic bottles from the environment every year. Pair this with the EVOLVE’s sister machine, the H2O Hydration Station, and this total removal of single-use plastic bottles increases to 36,000 – per site.

For a gym group like PureGym, an EVOLVE Nutrition Station paired with a Hydration Station at every one of their 260 sites could remove almost half-a-million single-use plastic bottles from the environment every year. Two machines at each site would see this rise to almost 1 million.

Not only is the EVOLVE better for the environment due to the removal of single-use plastic bottles, it will also reduce the waste typically produced by a fitness facility – saving a significant amount of money every year.

Download the brochure here. Find out more here.

Multiple Supplement Types & Flavours

The EVOLVE Nutrition Station can hold and dispense up to four flavours of sports nutrition or protein supplements. In fact, the dispenser is compatible with almost all forms of powdered or granulated sports nutrition supplements, including: Protein, Branched-Chain Amino Acid (BCAA), Pre-Workout, Thermogenics, Electrolytes, Meal Replacement Powders and Weight Loss Powders.

The dispenser can be formatted to dispense a four of the above instead of four different flavours of protein, for example. In a single EVOLVE, you could dispense a Thermogenic, Pre-Workout, Protein and BCAA.

Download the brochure here. Find out more here.

Vegan Friendly: Contamination Free

Because each flavour of protein or type of supplement has its own canister, and all four are delivered through separate pipes and nozzles, the EVOLVE Nutrition Station can offer customers a vegan option whilst ensuring the drink will be completely free of contamination with dairy-containing products.

Download the brochure here. Find out more here.

12” Media Screen

The EVOLVE comes complete with a 12” media screen, which can be used to display gym class timetables, membership information or offers, for example. The screen could also be used to create an extra revenue stream by selling advertising space to brands and businesses.

With an easy-to-change and update process which requires just a USB stick or SD Card, media can be changed quickly and regularly.

Download the brochure here. Find out more here.

Highly Profitable

With the average single-use plastic bottle of premade Protein Shake from brands like Maximuscle, Grenade & MyProtein costing between £2.50-£3.50, the RRP for one dispense from the EVOLVE Nutrition Station is £3GBP. 100 dispenses per day – a conservative estimate for a large gym with hundreds of members – could therefore generate almost £110,000 annually.

For even a small gym chain with 10 sites, revenue from EVOLVE dispense sales could top £1.1m every year.

Download the brochure here. Find out more here.

Gyms, Leisure Centres & Training Facilities

The EVOLVE Nutrition Station has been specifically designed and developed with gyms, leisure centres and elite training facilities in mind. Unlike some protein dispensers on the market, the EVOLVE has a small footprint and more slender frame, making it easy to install even in places where floorspace is tight.

The machine measures just 50cm in width and is just over 180cm tall (approx. 5’10”), with a depth of 67cm.

Download the brochure here. Find out more here.

Refuel. Recover. Repeat.

It was a long, hard slog last year for businesses of all sizes last year. 2021 is your year, and ours. Refuel and recover this year with the addition of a highly-profitable EVOLVE Nutrition Station.

SecureTouch Antimicrobial Film from Westomatic 17 Sep 2020, 9:28 am

SecureTouch Antimicrobial Film from Westomatic

Following on from the launch of Hover Select and Covid Cover earlier this year, we’re pleased to announce the addition of SecureTouch antimicrobial film to our range of innovative covid-ready vending solutions.

Available NOW directly from Westomatic, SecureTouch antimicrobial film fits on touch screens or keypads – with prices starting from just £4.99 per machine.

How Does it Work?

Germs and bacteria need humidity in order to proliferate. SecureTouch antimicrobial film is completely waterproof and forms a barrier against humidity, in turn preventing germs and bacteria from proliferating. In essence, bacteria are unable to multiply on a surface which is protected by SecureTouch.

The antimicrobial film has silver ions incorporated into the top layer of the film. When these ions come into contact with bacteria, they block bacteria’s metabolism. In short, the bacteria is unable to reproduce and proliferate – and dies off when cleaned. See below for more information on how the antimicrobial film prevents bacterial population growth.

What are the Benefits?

✔ 99.99% Effectiveness

The biggest benefit of SecureTouch antimicrobial film is that it halts bacterial population growth. You’ll see from the chart below that, without SecureTouch applied, bacteria population grows exponentially on an infected surface. Conforming to ISO 22196, the film prevents the development of 99.99% of germs.

✔ 24/7 Protection

Once fitted, the antimicrobial film will protect the surface area it is attached to for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week – 365 days a year. Of course, the surface SecureTouch is applied to will still need to be cleaned regularly to completely kill off any germs, but in the current environment, this is no doubt part of standard cleaning and sanitisation protocol.

✔ Prevents the Formation of Biofilm

A biofilm is a microbial ‘community’ made up of bacteria and sometimes fungus. Antimicrobial film prevents this silent but potentially deadly ‘community’ from forming and prospering.

✔ Up to 5-Year Lifespan

Once applied, SecureTouch antimicrobial film will be effective for up to 5 years. Due to its low cost and ease of application, we would recommend that a new SecureTouch film is applied prior to the five-year anniversary of its initial application.

Simple Application

SecureTouch can be easily and quickly applied to vending machine touch screens or keypads, as well as our Primo range of counter-top coffee machines.

NEW H2O Hydration Station: A No-Touch Water Refill Dispenser – With a Twist! 16 Jul 2020, 12:01 pm

NEW H2O Hydration Station: A Zero-Waste Water Refill Dispenser – With a Twist!

We’ve launched two new products in as many months which have already made quite a splash. But, we’re thirsty for more. We hope you are, too – because our NEW H2O Hydration Station water dispenser is available NOW! 

The zero-waste H2O Hydration Station is the ultimate water dispenser, specifically designed to suit education settings, healthcare facilities, sports and leisure centres, hotels and spas, office spaces, and other large footfall areas.

However, the sheer amount of potential places that would require and benefit from a Hydration Station are vast, and all that is required is an electricity point and mains water supply.

Not only will you benefit from Westomatic’s superior build quality with the new Hydration Station, but customers will also be drinking the purist water possible thanks to a triple filtration process.

Perfectly Pure Drinking Water

Equipped with a dual FLUUX Filtration System and a UV Filter means water dispensed from the Hydration Station is triple filtered, removing microplastics and eliminating any bacteria. In fact, the FLUUX filtration system alone eliminates bacteria, Trihalomethanes (THMs) and micro-plastics to 0.1 microns. The dual FLUUX filters can filter 71,992 litres of water before they need to be replaced.

This filtration process removes more than most water dispensers or sources:

Water – With a Twist!

Unlike other water dispensers, the H2O Hydration Station dispenses more than just water. The water dispenser is available with two premium ‘bag-in-box’ juice concentrate flavours – Peach Tea and Sunset Orange. The latter contains 72% orange juice contrate, giving a taste that is almost identical to freshly squeezed orange juice.

Both flavours are free from allergenic ingredients. The premium juice concentrates are blended in Britain and are sourced directly from British businesses.

The Plastic Problem

According to National Geographic, more than a million plastic bottles are sold globally every single minute. A report produced by charity Keep Britain Tidy recently found that 75% of all litter in Britain was the result of “drinking on the go.” The report, commissioned by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), highlighted how small plastic bottles alone account for almost 25% of litter.

Only half of the 500 billion plastic bottles produced and sold every year are ever collected for recycling. In fact, the single-use plastic problem in general is much worse. Only 9% of plastic is recycled.

So, where does the 91% of non-recycled plastic waste, and some 250 billion non-recycled bottles, end up?

12% of it is incinerated and a whopping 79% was discarded in landfills or the natural environment, according to National Geographic. The plastic problem, it seems, is far worse than most of us could ever have imagined.

We’re doing our bit to stop the ubiquity of single-use plastics, and we implore you to do your bit too!

An Eco-Friendly Water Dispenser

Because the Hydration Station water dispenser is a refill-only machine, no single-use plastic bottles or cups are dispensed or available. No refillable bottle? No water or juice! Single-use plastics aside, the Hydration Station will minimise your business’s carbon footprint.

It also means less cost(s) for you in both the short and long-term, as transportation and staff costs can be lowered significantly. A single 5-litre box of concentrate can yield up to 100 litres of diluted juice drink – meaning less delivery vehicles and less transport CO2. Packaging waste will also be reduced. Packaging waste will also be reduced.

The Hydration Station also uses a flash chiller to cool the water – a more energy-efficient, eco-friendly way of reducing the water’s temperature.

Highly Profitable and Cost-Effective

If you were to charge £0.50p for every refill of water, the Hydration Station would only need to dispense 14 refills per day for a year to pay for itself. That’s right – just £7 per day in refill sales for a year and you’ve made your investment back! Anything beyond that is pure profit*.

Because a single box of 5LTR juice concentrate can yield up to 100 litres of diluted juice drink, the Hydration Station has the potential to significantly reduce staff and transporation costs, as it doesn’t need to be refilled as often as a traditional drinks vending machine would.

*This calculation is based purely on water-only refills sales and does not account for the cost of utilities (water and electricity).
