Jofemar’s commitment to the environment and its innovation capability has made possible the development of the world first autonomously powered vending machine that runs on hydrogen.
Jofemar uses the novel automatic merchandise Vision Multiseller design to bring non traditional vending products into the multimillion dollar vending channel. It is able to do this thanks to two principal assemblies.
The extraordinary flexibility of Jofemar’s Smart Vend elevator delivery system travels vertically to receive the chosen product and transport it to a waist level delivery bin. Jofemar’s EasyFlex conveyor delivery system replaces the traditional spirals allowing fast and flexible reconfiguration to handle a very diverse range of products.
Now Jofemar has announced the launch of the Vision Multiseller H2. Instead of using electricity the H2 uses hydrogen to power the Vision. “The system created by our engineers allows the “Vision H2” to be able to work with absolute autonomy and without connection to the electric source” explains Felix Guindulain Busto, Jofemar’s General Manager.
This is the culmination of two years of dedicated research by Jofemar’s R&D department. “This places Jofemar as the European Vending machines company with highest technological innovation capacity and strengthens its leadership on the development of new of new energy for vending machines” added Felix Guindulain Busto.
Jofemar’s Vision H2 autonomous power is provided by a hydrogen fuel cell that is fed with hydrogen from a portable Ovonic Solid Hydrogen Storage canister. The fuel cell has a back-up battery for when the portable hydrogen canister needs to be recharged.
Jofemar’s Vision H2 portability, thanks to the new clean renewable hydrogen power, gives a large range of applications. No longer will a machine placement depend upon an electrical source. This means that machines may be located anywhere.
Jofemar takes the security aspects of hydrogen very seriously indeed. The Ovonic canister utilizes low-pressure metal hydride technology for hydrogen storage. Furthermore, the amounts of hydrogen used in the chemical process are minute. Therefore there is never any safety issue with the Vision H2.
Jofemar, as some of the large automobile manufacturer, is betting that hydrogen is one of the renewable clean energies of the near future.
Jofemar is prepare to work with cities, governments and vending companies, based on projects, to provide a hydrogen storage portable canister recharge program.
Jofemar , a family owned company, is one of the world’s leading payment systems and vending machines manufactures. Jofemar ‘s products are present in more than 50 countries around the world. Everything from research and development, through fabrication and assembly, to final quality testing is accomplished in-house.
