The new Bocca della Verita'
The Bocca della Verita' is a standing machine fully made of glass fiber, that can be installed outside, even if better under some sort of protection. Its dimensions are 100x62x190 cm (3.5'x2'"x6.3'). This machine is very reliable and is ideal for shopping centers or Amusement parks. It prints a ticket 10 cm (4 inches) wide. It is powered at 230V or 110 V. It speaks with a deep voice, to attract customers. Once the coin has been inserted, customer inserts hand into the mouth and waits for its printout that comes printed and cut automatically, within 30 seconds. The machine represents the Bocca della Verita face. The original is in Rome and there is an ancient legend about it, that it will cut the hand of the one who is not sincere. It is visited daily by hundreds of people and appears in the movie "Roman Holidays", with Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck. The Bocca della verita machine is available in many languages and can be set to operate with any coin or banknote upon request. Tickets are on thermal paper, 110 mm wide, printed in high quality characters. 1 paper roll is enough for about 500 customers and costs 7.2 Euro, so each printout costs 1.5 cents. The machine operated at the standard price of 2 Euros can cash about 1000 Euro with a 7 Euro roll. Power consumption is less than 30VA on average, that is really low, less than a small bulb. |
