AMD Snacks Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Anybody have a good/cheap/easy method of protecting their candy from the sun? I have a lot of trashed product recently (mainly because people love re-arranging the machines and putting them in the sun. I have a sun block for the rear of my 1800 triples, but i'm looking for something on the side. I was thinking like window tinting, or a big label or something. I tried to walk away from PMM but I get a few locations requesting them. any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titandist Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Buy Oak vista's with red panels then you won't have that problem. There isn't any cheap way. Oak is the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMD Snacks Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 Yeah, but that wont work for the 40+ 1800 triples I already have. This guy seems like he was on the right track...Not sure what happened to him though. I'm either thinking a print the size of the side of my globe in cardboard, or perhaps window tinting, though i'm not sure if that's food grade.

QuikVend Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I bought some used machines a few months ago. A few of them had a metal plate in the globe that was almost contoured to the shape of the globe, although it wasn't perfect and some capacity was sacrificed, it wrapped around and covered 3 sides of the globe. If I can dig it up, I'll try to snag a picture. Have you tried a&a? Not sure if that's who made it, but worth a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMD Snacks Posted September 22, 2016 Author Share Posted September 22, 2016 I checked their site and didn't see anything. I'm not against conjuring something up, but I figured smarter people than me have already had this issue and figured something out. I've been checking older post, that's where I got that picture from, but haven't really seen anything yet. But yea i'd love to see that metal doo hickey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetstop Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 He's what I do They sell that white foam board for school presentations its only about 3/16" thick cut pieces to fit the back and sides. It's white to reflect and insulated for the heat Works awesome! You get enough for 3 or 4 machines for a couple bucks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Determined Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Why not use old display cards? Turn them around so white is showing. Or use poster board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMD Snacks Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 Poster board sounds pretty much like what sweet stop is saying. I tried just throwing any old thing in there and it looked sort of "down on the farm". Not saying I wont try something soon, because I don't want to keep throwing away product. But I don't want to make the machines look all run down. Especially since all of the ones with sun exposure are right in the front of these businesses.

AMD Snacks Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 Okay so I tried the foam board, but I couldn't get any clean cuts, so I ended up using the poster board after all. We'll see how it holds up in the sunlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bravo Duck Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 We bought a roll of white vinyl sheeting that has an adhesive back from a printing company on EBay, cut to size, stick to inside. Works well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
