San Diego, CA - YoNaturals, the only company in the U.S. offering a complete solution to healthy vending machines, announced Tuesday it will begin installing USA Technologies' (NASDAQ: USAT) Vending Miser® energy saving devices on selected YoZone vending machines in 2008.
“We’re proud to install Energy Misers on our YoZone machines says Mark Trotter, CEO of YoNaturals. YoNaturals is a socially responsible company and it’s critical that we embrace all options to reduce energy costs on our YoZone healthy vending machines.
When equipped with the Vending Miser, YoZone vending machines, which offer a selection of organic snacks, organic juice and milk, natural soda, energy bars, meals, nuts and dried fruit, will be comparable in daily energy performance to new ENERGY STAR qualified machines.
Typical energy consumption for a refrigerated vending machine can be as much as 3,500 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year and the Vending Miser can cut energy consumption in a refrigerated vending machine by as much as 46 percent which is a significant energy cost savings each year, according to USA Technologies.
Vending Miser incorporates energy-saving technology into a small plug-and-play device that installs in minutes, either on the wall or on the vending machine.
The device also utilizes a passive infrared sensor that powers down the machine when the surrounding area is vacant; monitors the room's temperature;
