Corvus Corax Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Have any of you checked out the new Deer Park 20oz bottles. They look pretty ztackable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maestro489 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 We've been using the deer park 20oz bottle for a few years now with no problem. I have noticed that the new bottle sometimes causes the bottles to sit crookedly but I haven't had any jamming problems as of yet. I did notice however that the older bottle came in packaging that read "It Vends", and the new packaging does not so I am wondering if I will run into trouble.

AZVendor Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Even the old package that claimed "it vends" was pretty much a lie so this new bottle is probably going to be worse than the old bottle was. Only the 16.0 oz bottle is really made for vending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryChris Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I got the 20 oz bottles to vend at least half way up the column. I didn't try to fill it up though. I have easy access to hard plastic bottles so I only go for those when I am in a pinch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvus Corax Posted May 1, 2018 Author Share Posted May 1, 2018 I have been putting them in my glass fronts, since the new bottle looks like higher quality then the old one. Going to try some in a 501e and see if it's doable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalleberg Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I called Nestle - they have a bunch of those regional brands like Deer Park, Ozarka, Ice Mountain, etc. They said they were getting too many complaints about the old "It Vends" 20oz bottles so they removed the statement from the packaging. Seems like if you fill a column only about half way it works fine. All the way and you might have issues. The new bottle is supposed to be similar but I cannot imagine that they just changed the bottle for no reason. It was probably done to make them easier or cheaper (thinner??). So far I've been stacking them in a DN276e to a point just above the half way point just like t he old version and I've had no problems with any vends. Good luck.

Corvus Corax Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 The new 20oz bottle definitely has thicker plastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTVFC Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Did they thicken the plastic on the 700ml bottles as well? They seem sturdier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maestro489 Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 The deer park has been getting stuck in my royal 650s. They get stuck halfway up leaving a gap underneath. I’ve noticed that the bottles seem bigger on one end than the other. So I started putting one in with the cap facing me and the next one with cap away from me to make them stack more evenly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryChris Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Getting stuck halfway up means that your anti-friction sheets are either not there or not working. The solution is to get food-grade sliicone and rub some on your anti-friction sheets (and/or replace the sheets) so that nothing bridges. It isn't a problem with the deer park bottles but a problem with all plastic bottles as they naturally have a lot of friction. Cans don't bridge.

maestro489 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I didn’t know that. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
57thTom Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 That's weird. I've never heard of them either in all the conversations I've read in Vendiscuss. https://na.suzohapp.com/products/vending_parts/H915197RY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryChris Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 A lot of people here vend a lot of cans, so the issue doesn't come up that often. The issue and solution is the same for USI machines too (not the older serpentine styles though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
