Press Release

With the ability to kill or inactivate up to 99.9% of bacteria and viruses, UVend Technology provides employees and customers with a safer way to enjoy the convenience of on-site snacks and beverages.

DES MOINES, IOWA –March 22, 2021 – Federal Machine, a leading global vending solutions provider, is excited to introduce UVend Technology, its new, patent-pending UV light sanitization solution.  UVend Technology makes the high-touch surfaces of vending equipment safer by utilizing UV light to kill or inactivate up to 99.9% of viruses and bacteria, including influenza and the COVID-19 virus*.

UVend Technology is proven by an independent third-party accredited testing lab to be a safe application of UVC light to sanitize the high-touch surfaces of vending equipment.  In fact, UVend Technology utilizes that same UV light sanitization technology that has been used for decades in healthcare organizations, schools, prisons, retailers and the transportation industry.

For user safety, UVend Technology features an automated motion sensor that detects no presence in front of the machine before activating.  A visible blue light indicates quick sanitization is in process, allowing the machine to be sanitized after every peak period and giving employees and customers confidence they are touching a sanitized surface.

“Today, safety is key. When purchasing a vending machine, one of the most important considerations is the best machine to provide a safer vending experience for employees and customers,” says Andres Martinez-Negrete, Vice President of Engineering for Federal Machine. “UVend’s visible blue light helps organizations show they prioritize safety and it gives their employees and customers peace of mind when getting their next snack or drink.”
