How San Jamar Cup Dispensers Work
These clever dispensers work on a remarkably simple yet effective principle. Most San Jamar models use either a spring-loaded mechanism or gravity feed system to present one cup at a time. The cups stack inside a cylindrical tube designed specifically for your cup diameter, with adjustable tension that accommodates various cup weights and materials. When someone removes a cup, the next one automatically pops into place—no fiddling about! Some models feature multiple tubes for different cup sizes, while others offer adjustable widths to adapt as your needs change. It's a brilliantly straightforward solution that transforms how efficiently drinks are served.
