The RVM is a compact, touchscreen-operated reverse vending machine that accepts plastic bottles and aluminum cans. Users insert eligible containers, the machine verifies and compacts them, and issues a digital receipt or reward credit. It is designed to encourage recycling in public spaces, schools, businesses and events.
The machine is designed primarily for standard plastic bottles (e.g., PET) and aluminum beverage cans. Accepted sizes and formats can be tailored during customization, so please specify exact container types and maximum dimensions when ordering.
'Compactor only' indicates this model compacts returned containers to reduce storage volume. It does not include additional mechanical sorting or shredding features by default. Reward issuance is handled digitally (e.g., digital receipt, account credit) rather than by dispensing cash.
By default the RVM issues digital receipts that can be redeemed for refund credit. Reward delivery is customizable and can include QR codes, mobile vouchers, integration with loyalty or payment systems, or deposit-return scheme credit where supported.
Yes. Integration options are available and can be configured to work with local deposit-return schemes, point-of-sale systems, mobile apps, or backend accounting. Integration scope depends on the specific requirements and may require additional software work.
Standard dimensions are 1000 mm x 1000 mm x 1900 mm. Rated power is 800 W. Plug type, power supply and voltage configuration can be customized to meet local electrical standards.
Capacity is customizable and depends on the chosen internal container and compaction ratio. Because the machine compacts items, capacity lasts longer than non-compacting units. Emptying frequency depends on site throughput; your supplier can estimate intervals based on expected usage.
The RVM includes a user-friendly touchscreen interface. Technical support options include video technical support and online remote guidance. Additional on-site service plans are available through the vendor.
Allow for the machine footprint plus clearance for servicing. It requires a stable, level surface and a suitable electrical outlet configured to the customized plug type and local voltage. Network connectivity for rewards and remote support is recommended (Ethernet or Wi-Fi can be configured). The vendor will provide a full site-prep checklist.
Outdoor or harsh-environment deployment is possible with customization such as weatherproof enclosures, enhanced cooling, and HVAC adaptations. The standard cooling system is customizable to match environmental conditions.
The RVM uses sensors and verification logic to detect ineligible, non-refundable or severely contaminated items. Such items are typically rejected and returned to the user with an on-screen message. Specific rejection criteria can be adjusted during configuration.
Routine maintenance includes emptying compacted waste, checking and cleaning sensors and the insertion chute, inspecting the compactor mechanism, and software updates. Frequency depends on usage. The vendor offers maintenance plans and can provide recommended service intervals.
The system supports secure data handling and can be configured with encryption, secure logging and access controls. Data retention and privacy settings can be adapted to meet local regulations and your organization's policies.
Warranty terms and service-level options vary by supplier and configuration. Standard offerings typically include limited warranty coverage, remote troubleshooting, and optional on-site service contracts. Ask your vendor for a detailed warranty and support package.
Contact the vendor with your desired options (capacity, plug type, integrations, outdoor rating, rewards method). Lead time depends on the level of customization and order volume; the vendor will provide a quote and estimated delivery schedule after requirements are defined.
