Collection: Air King Air and Vacuum Machines
Combination Air and Vacuum Machines
A combination air and vacuum machine puts two revenue streams in one cabinet on one footprint. For operators working a tight lot — a car wash with limited bay space, a c-store forecourt with one usable island end — the combo unit earns roughly what two separate machines would while occupying half the ground and needing one electrical drop instead of two.
Why the combination unit usually wins on tight lots
Air and vacuum demand peak at different moments. Air sells on the way in, when someone notices a soft tire while fueling. Vacuum sells on the way out, after the wash. A single cabinet capturing both means the machine is earning across more of the day rather than sitting idle between peaks.
It also halves your service footprint. One cabinet to unlock, one coin box or card reader to service, one location to visit on the route. For operators running multiple sites, that difference compounds fast.
Configurations
-
Coin and credit card — accepts both, the safest choice when your customer mix is uncertain or changing
-
Credit card only — eliminates coin collection entirely and typically raises average ticket
Cabinet color, vend price, and run time are all specified at order. A mechanical selector switch lets the customer choose air or vacuum from the same faceplate.
Built for unattended outdoor duty
These machines sit outside year-round, unsupervised, used by people who have never operated one before. Steel cabinets, secure locking, and components rated for continuous outdoor service — the same platform Air King has manufactured in the USA since 1982, with replacement parts still shipping from stock decades later.
