We exported the “Milk Vending Machine” to Romania and Saudi Arabia. In the factory established by a 26-year-old mechanical engineer in Sakarya, domestic milk vending machines produced for the purpose of delivering raw milk to the public in high quality are exported to Romania and Saudi Arabia.
Domestic milk vending machines, produced by young entrepreneur İlker Çatalbaş to prevent the sale of raw milk under unhygienic conditions, have 50-liter milk churns. Raw milk, which is constantly mixed with the apparatus in the tank, can maintain its freshness for 3 days under 4 degrees. Credit cards, cash, and social cards can be used on the machine and, the filling chamber of the machine is automatically cleaned after every milk sale.
Citizens will be able to buy raw milk thanks to these “milk vending machines” that can be placed in city squares, estates, shopping malls, metro stations, and supermarkets.
Company owner Çatalbaş, who participated in the 15th International Agriculture, Seed, Sapling and Dairy Industry Fair organized in Bursa, told Anadolu Agency (AA) reporter that they produced 100 percent domestic milk cooling tanks and milk vending machines last year.
“As our people become more conscious, the number of sales will increase”
Çatalbaş stated that the interest in the machine is increasing day by day and said, “People will understand this machine better in the coming period. In addition to entrepreneurs who want to trade in milk, municipalities can benefit from this machine.” said.
Stating that this system is widespread in Europe, Çatalbaş said:
“The annual production of the best company in the industry is 400 units. We planned 100 productions for the first year. In this direction, we are moving towards our goal. As our people become more conscious, the number of sales will increase. Our aim is not only to produce machinery but to deliver quality milk to the public. Thanks to this vending machine we produce, I think we have prevented the import of machinery from abroad into Turkey. In addition, our exports to Romania and Saudi Arabia have just started. We made an export of 40 thousand dollars. Next year, we aim to export a total of 500 thousand dollars to more countries. For now, we have sent 4 copies abroad.
