tcfire67 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Hello everyone, i tried this once but not sure if i did it correct because i can not find it. I am new to this and just purchased a couple machines. The one i have the question on is the dixie narco 501e 9 slot machine. Does this machine take 24 oz bottles? it is set up for cans right now but i would like to switch it over. The 20oz bottles are not easy to get so i do not think i have alot of options. I could use a 16oz bottle but not sure where is a good place to get the shims. Also, what would i need to place gatorade in this machine? Thanks for any help in advance.

AZVendor Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Hi and welcome to the forum. The setup for any product in a 501E will depend on if it's in a wide or narrrow column. For Gatorade in a wide column you'll need one 3/32" short flat shim on each side of the column, use red and grey motor cams set to adjustment hole #3 and then set the rear spacer to hole #15 counting from the front. This gives you two deep vending. Gatorade in a narrow column is a bottle shim on the right side of the column, the brown cams set to hole #5 and the rear spacer again in hold #15. For 24 oz bottles you will only be able to vend one product deep. In a wide column you'll need two 3/32" short flat shims on each side with blue and gold motor cams set in hole #1. The rear spacer will be in hole #1 to start but you may need to experiment with it. For 24 oz in a narrow column you'll use no shim on the right side of the column and you'll set the brown motor cams to hole #4 with the rear space set in hole #1, again possibly needing to adjust it's depth for proper vending. You can email me at rbepic4gatgmaildotcom if you need any parts for these setups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
