No DramaBuyer guide · Vending & arcade
The hard part is keeping a living product saleable behind glass: cut flowers want cool, humid air and no drop at all, while most vending hardware is built to keep things cold, dry and falling.
01
Bouquets are sold through a grid of glass-fronted doors, a rotating carousel, or a lift that brings the bunch to a hatch. Doors show each bunch but limit height per slot; a carousel packs more but hides stock. Ask which design the photo shows.
A plain refrigerated cabinet dries petals. Ask whether humidity is controlled or only temperature, and where the fan blows. Air aimed straight at the flowers shortens their life.
Cool, humid air behind glass fogs the front. Ask for heated or double glazing and anti-condensation film, or buyers will not see what they pay for.
Ask the clear height and depth of each slot and whether slots hold a water tube or vase. Long stems and wrapped bouquets need tall slots, which cuts the number per cabinet.
Ask the refrigerant against F-gas Regulation (EU) 2024/573, and whether the platform shows which slots are empty and how long each bunch has been in.
02
Send these with the enquiry. Without them, any number a factory gives you is a guess dressed as a quotation.

| Require this | A pass looks like |
|---|---|
| Load your own bouquets into every slot size and sell each one through the payment flow. | Each door or hatch opens only for the paid slot and the bouquet comes out without broken stems. |
| Log temperature and humidity inside for two days with the door opened on a schedule. | Both stay inside the range your grower gave, and the front glass stays clear. |
| Cut the mains with a door mid-open, then restore it. | No door unlocks on power loss, and the machine resumes with slot states intact. |

Buy a smart locker vending system with ambient compartments and lighting.
Buy a florist's display cooler. Payment and door hardware add cost that a staffed counter does not need.
06
We name the kind of source, how many and when, and never the factory. Listed prices are asking prices, not landed cost. Where we do not hold a fact we say so: that is a GAP, not an estimate.
07
Every machine we source in this area is on the Vending & arcade page. How a project runs, stage by stage, is on how it works, and what it costs is on pricing.
Straight answers
Compare a purpose-made door grid or carousel with an adapted locker or cooler, from either origin. The choice turns on humidity control, glass and slot size, not origin.
Slot heights against your bouquets, humidity and temperature log, glass clarity, door lock behaviour on power loss, refrigerant nameplate, reader model and importer details on the plate.
A Declaration of Conformity for machinery, low voltage and EMC or radio, with an EN 60335-2-75 report and the technical file behind them. A CE logo in a brochure proves nothing.
The EU business that first places it on the market, usually you. You check the papers, keep them available, and put your name and address on the machine or its documents.
