In the professional vending landscape, the evolution of offerings is increasingly driven by products focused on wellness, personalization, and dispensing quality.
In this context, Flymax’s technological innovation expands the concept of the traditional vending machine with solutions dedicated to loose-leaf herbal teas, treated water, and freshly dispensed protein drinks.
An approach that captures new consumption trends and opens up interesting opportunities for vending operators, fitness centers, spas, companies, and hospitality facilities.
Automatic vending machine for loose-leaf herbal teas: the F300T model
This model has been developed by maximizing the flagship of Flymax technology: the coffee group, specially modified to allow the infusion of tea and loose-leaf herbal blends.
The mixture is conveyed into the infusion chamber where, thanks to the passage of water, it fully releases its aromas and active ingredients. At the end of the process, the compact residue is automatically expelled and collected in the dedicated waste container.
The result in the cup is a hot beverage that encapsulates all the aroma and authenticity of an infusion prepared using the traditional method, preserving the original taste.
Protein vending machine: instantly dispensed protein drinks
Alongside the herbal tea segment, Flymax has been developing a line of protein vending machines for about ten years, anticipating a trend that is now rapidly expanding.
The growing culture of fitness and functional nutrition has generated real demand for on-demand protein drinks.
To better meet customer needs, Flymax has developed two main models: a tabletop version designed for more compact spaces, and a freestanding one to be installed in break areas of larger facilities.
The most important technical challenge for these models has undoubtedly been managing the different consistencies of soluble products.
During testing, Flymax technicians found that many products tend to compact due to environmental humidity, hindering the rotation of the container auger and therefore the dispensing process.
For this reason, each machine is tested with products and dosages provided by the customer, so it can be technically customized, where necessary, to ensure a precise and satisfactory final result.
This adaptability represents a key element for vending operators who want to offer high-quality protein supplements without operational issues.
Automatic vending machine for treated water: fresh water, wherever you are
In addition to herbal tea and protein vending machines, Flymax had already embraced the theme of sustainability as early as 2011, leading to the design of the Aquamat model.
The machine offers treated water in various types — still, chilled, lightly sparkling, and sparkling — both cold and at room temperature, in different formats, from cups to 1-liter bottles.
These vending machines achieved such positive results that Aquamat became one of the company’s best-selling models, evolving over time with further customizations requested by the international market.
In 2016, Aquamat Mini was developed, a more compact version designed to dispense only still water, either cold or at room temperature. In the following years, the company continued investing in eco-friendly solutions, also introducing water modules that can be integrated into traditional vending machines to expand the offering and meet a market increasingly focused on sustainability and plastic reduction.
The introduction of vending machines for treated water, loose-leaf herbal teas, and protein drinks confirms how the sector is evolving toward increasingly specialized, wellness-oriented solutions.
With its herbal tea, water, and protein models, Flymax positions itself as a strategic partner for those who want to invest in the vending of the future: healthy, personalized, and high-quality dispensing.
