WM550 ice cream vending machine specifications

The WM550 ice cream vending machine for sale here is Wider Matrix’s automatic soft-serve unit. A customer steps up, picks a flavor and toppings on the touch screen, pays with coins, cash, a card, or NFC, and gets a cup in about 15 seconds. There is no one scooping behind a counter.

The line comes in three configurations. The WM550 serves a single flavor, the WM550+ serves two plus a mix, and both hold enough product for up to 300 cups before a refill. For locations short on floor space, a compact model measuring 81 × 126 × 180 cm keeps the same screen and payment setup and serves up to 90 cups. Prices start at $4,400.

How a customer uses the machine

From the customer’s side, the WM550 runs itself. They tap the screen, pick a flavor, add a fruit sauce and a topping, and pay. The cup drops in 15 seconds. From the operator’s side, the machine needs power, an ice cream mix supply, cups, and a regular top-up and cleaning. That is the whole staff requirement.

Why operators pick the WM550

The case for it comes down to labor and throughput. A person scooping soft serve works at their own pace and needs a wage and a shift schedule. The WM550 serves every 15 seconds without either. The 28L hopper holds up to 300 cups, so a busy weekend can pass without a refill. Four payment methods mean a sale is not lost to a customer carrying only a card or a bill. And because the portrait screen doubles as an advertising display, you can run promotions between orders.

Versions, prices, and multi-unit discounts

The single-flavor WM550 carries 3 fruit sauces and 3 toppings for 9 combinations. The WM550+ adds two base flavors plus a mix for 27 combinations, on the same footprint and the same 300-cup hopper. The compact model serves 100g cups with 3 sauces and 2 toppings.

Multi-unit discounts kick in at 3 to 5 and 6 to 10 units on the full-size machines, and at 5 to 9 and 10 or more on the compact model. We quote the tier rate against the order instead of printing a fixed number, because it moves with volume and destination. If you are comparing across suppliers, you may want to see current ice cream vending machine prices and suppliers before you place an inquiry.

Cups, spoons, and running costs

Cups and spoons are the recurring cost, and they are cheap enough to forget about until reorder. Standard cups run $0.12 each at 10,000 pieces and $0.10 at 40,000. The compact model’s cups, with the spoon molded into the base, run $0.10 at 1,000 to 4,999 pieces and $0.08 at 5,000 or more. Spoons are $0.03 apiece in 10,000-piece cases.

The ice cream mix and sauces are not a fixed number, because most operators source dairy locally. Tell us your location and we will give you the quantities and point you to options.

Where the WM550 fits

Most WM550s end up where people already line up for food: malls, cinema lobbies, transport hubs, amusement parks, and tourist-heavy streets. Those locations can empty a 300-cup hopper quickly, so the full-size model earns its space there. The compact model goes into corner shops, gyms, offices, and school campuses where square footage is the limit. If you have a specific location in mind, describe it and we will tell you which size and payment mix makes sense.

Built by Wider Matrix

The WM550 is built in-house by Wider Matrix. Because we make the machine ourselves, buyers can change the voltage, the screen branding, and the flavor paste colors on the line instead of accepting whatever is in stock. Custom and OEM orders are a normal part of the conversation, not a special request. If you are in the middle of verifying suppliers, this look at a real ice cream vending factory covers what an actual inspection should turn up.
