I've seen cup-of-noodle soup in snack vending machines before. But, for some reason, they don't seem to work on my AP6600. The biggest spirals I can find are 6-count and the cup-of-noodles fit, but tightly. When the spiral turns, the cups twists around and eventually jams. What am I doing wrong? Do 5-count spirals exist? If so, will that solve my problem?

Do like we used to do when we sold microwavable meals in our snack machines, get a spiral that almost fits and just stretch it out and then get a Dremel Tool or a grinder of some sort to shorten it up so that it will fit properly. It may sound dumb but it works great. If you don't care to do that then I think I still have some spirals that were made for cans of pringles that should be perfect for you. Let me know! Also, Is this a 6600xl or the shallow one? I am going to see if I have those spirals that I talked about.

I use 6 count spirals on several different machines and have vended cup of noodles in all of them. If your product is twists and turns, your column is too big. slim it down with a spacer so that it doesn't have the room to move from side to side. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the tip. I'll try the stretching idea. By the way, I'm not sure, but I don't think my 6600 is a shallow one. (It uses a 10-count spiral for the 1.5 ounce bag of Lays Classic.)

Let me know if you would like a few of those other spirals that I mentioned. I have several boxes of them and they come 4 a box I think. They fit 6 small cans of Pringles so maybe that would give you an idea on how wide they are. Shipping cost is all I would charge.

I think I would like to try a box. If your offer still stands, that is. I'm here in Berkeley CA 94704. Let me know how much is shipping. If they work for me, I'll take 2 more boxes later if you still have any. Thanks.

Yes, the offer still stands. I will let you know the shipping as soon as possible.
