Vending machines for planetariums:
Cosmic profit in starlight
Planetarium is where technology meets the magic of the universe. Our futuristic vending machines operate 24/7, fitting in perfectly with the modern design of stellar theaters and generating revenue after each screening.
- Night Mode (LED)
- Stealth (Quiet operation)
- 24/7 operation
Challenge: Handling the "wave" before going under the dome
The peculiarity of the planetarium is impulse traffic. The crowd gathers in the lobby 15 minutes before the screening. In this short time window, the traditional storefront is inefficient, and customers abandon their purchases.
Congestion in the Lobby
Quick auto sales unload the crowd. The purchase takes seconds, so every little astronaut will have time to buy a trophy before the mission takes off.
Evening Sessions
The convenience store closes at 6pm and the screenings last into the night? Our vending machine works until the last customer leaves, without losing sales potential.
Design not of this earth: Lighting and aesthetics
Planetariums are venues where light play is key. Our vending machines are designed not to disturb this atmosphere, but rather to emphasize it.
Futuristic LED
The machine gently glows in the twilight, like a navigational landmark. By adjusting the intensity, the machine does not glaring before entering a dark room.
Quiet Operation (Stealth)
The waiting area is often quiet. Our vending machines do not have loud generators. The sound is only heard when the medal is issued.
Space Saving
Lobbies can sometimes be narrow. Slim (MIDI) or wall-mounted (SMALL) models take up minimal space without obstructing tour traffic.
Medal as "Space Mission"

FAQ - Questions from Planetarium Directors
No. Our LED lighting is decorative and directional. It does not cause "light pollution" that could spoil visual adaptation to darkness or interfere with observations.
The technology of minting medals requires simplifying graphics to bas-relief, but our graphic designers can transfer nebulae and galaxies to metal in an artistic and impressive way.
No, it is quiet (Stealth Mode). It does not have cooling units. It is ideal for the quiet zone in the lobby.
This is the biggest advantage of the vending machine. It works as long as the building is open (even during night marathons), when the traditional store is already closed.
