The IDM G30-FS is a freestanding, three-cylinder bulk coffee bean dispenser designed for retail and self-serve environments where freshness, hygiene, and presentation all matter. Each cylinder holds 4.5 litres of product and operates on a first-in, first-out flow, so older stock is always dispensed before newer stock — a straightforward way to reduce waste and keep beans at their best.
The unit uses IDM's 'Supremo' dispensing mechanism, which is well suited to coffee beans but handles other dry goods including seeds, grains, and legumes reliably. The pull-and-serve knob returns to a sealed position after each use, limiting air exposure between servings and helping maintain product freshness over time. The clear SAN containers let customers and staff see stock levels at a glance, which simplifies replenishment and avoids running out mid-service.
From an operational standpoint, the design offers a few practical advantages worth noting:
- FIFO dispensing reduces the risk of stale stock sitting at the bottom of a container
- Self-sealing knob mechanism limits air ingress between uses
- No mounting required — cylinders slide onto the stand for straightforward cleaning and refilling
- Clear containers support easy stock monitoring without opening the unit
- BPA-free construction and compliance with EU food contact regulations
The G30-FS is freestanding with a gold-finish stand and aluminium drip tray, requiring no wall fixings or specialist installation. It suits coffee shops, zero-waste stores, delicatessens, and farm shops where customers self-serve loose goods. For higher-volume retail environments or sites needing a greater number of cylinders, it is worth considering whether a larger configuration would better match throughput demands.
If you are unsure whether this unit suits your product range or service volumes, we are happy to talk it through before you commit.
£358.00(£429.60 inc VAT)
The IDM G30 is a wall-mounted coffee bean dispenser designed for retail environments where presentation, hygiene, and consistent portioning all matter. Each clear cylinder holds 4.5 litres of product and operates on a first-in, first-out flow, meaning the oldest stock is always dispensed first. This makes it a practical choice anywhere freshness and stock rotation are a genuine operational concern.
In day-to-day use, the G30 performs reliably under continuous customer-facing demand. The pull-and-serve knob releases a controlled portion of beans quickly and returns to a sealed position after each use, which limits both spillage and unnecessary air exposure. The clear SAN cylinders allow staff to monitor fill levels at a glance, reducing the chance of an empty dispenser during a busy period.
From an operational standpoint, the G30 offers several practical advantages:
- FIFO dispensing supports stock rotation and reduces waste from stale product
- Sealed knob mechanism limits air exposure between uses, helping preserve freshness
- Clear cylinder walls allow instant visual stock checks without opening the unit
- Wall-mounted design keeps counter and floor space clear in retail settings
- BPA-free construction and compliance with EU food contact regulations
Installation is straightforward — the unit comes with wall-mounting brackets, and the cylinders slide on and off the bracket for cleaning and refilling without tools. There are no electrical or plumbing requirements. Suitability depends on wall surface and fixings, so it is worth confirming the mounting arrangement before installation, particularly in tiled or high-traffic areas.
The G30 is well suited to coffee shops, zero-waste retailers, farm shops, and delicatessens dispensing beans, grains, seeds, or similar dry goods. For sites requiring significantly higher throughput or multi-product display runs, a larger or multi-cylinder configuration may be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether the G30 fits your display layout or product range, we are happy to talk it through.
£181.00(£217.20 inc VAT)
The IDM KELL300-BL is a freestanding three-cylinder dry food dispenser designed for self-service buffet environments. Each cylinder holds 3.5 litres and operates on a twist-knob portion control mechanism, allowing guests to dispense a measured amount of product without direct contact with the food. The transparent SAN containers give a clear view of contents, and the unit comes with a silver-finish stand and drip plates so guests can position a bowl directly beneath the spout.
In practice, this type of dispenser is well suited to hotel breakfast operations, cafeteria service, and workplace catering where cereals, oats, nuts, or similar dry goods are offered at a self-service station. The FIFO (first in, first out) flow of the mechanism means older stock is dispensed before newly added product, which is a practical advantage for reducing waste and maintaining freshness. The sealed cylinders also help with hygiene in open buffet settings, keeping product protected from handling and airborne contamination.
Operationally, the KELL300-BL offers several useful characteristics for catering staff:
- Clear SAN cylinders allow staff to monitor stock levels at a glance without opening the unit
- Cylinders slide out of the stand independently, making individual refills and cleaning straightforward
- The portion control mechanism helps reduce over-serving and product wastage
- The sealed design keeps dry goods protected during service
- BPA-free construction and compliance with EU food contact regulations
There are no electrical or plumbing requirements — the unit is entirely freestanding and gravity-fed, so placement is flexible provided there is sufficient clear counter or station space for the stand, the dispensing area, and safe guest access. It is not suited to dispensing very fine powders or sticky products, and the standard six-wing mechanism is calibrated for cereals and similar medium-grain dry goods rather than small toppings or granules.
This model is a practical choice for lower-to-mid-volume breakfast or snack buffet settings. Operations with significantly higher throughput or a wider product range may benefit from a larger-capacity or multi-unit configuration. If you are unsure whether this unit suits your service volume or station layout, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£140.00(£168.00 inc VAT)
The IDM DMPC1 is a countertop portion control dispenser designed for buffet, self-service, and assisted-service catering environments. It uses IDM's patented Multi-X mechanism to dispense semi-liquid and viscous products — such as sauces, dressings, cereals, or condiments — at a consistent, pre-set volume each time. The unit comes supplied with a SAN container, a black ABS lid and funnel, and a metal stand for counter display.
In a self-service or buffet setting, consistent portioning matters both for cost control and for maintaining a tidy service point. The Multi-X mechanism offers five portion settings, allowing operators to dial in the volume that suits the product being served and the service style. Switching between settings is straightforward, which makes the unit practical across different menu periods or events.
From an operational standpoint, the DMPC1 helps in several practical ways:
- Adjustable portion levels reduce over-dispensing and help manage product costs
- The SAN container is food-safe and straightforward to clean and refill between service periods
- The metal stand keeps the unit stable and at a practical height for guest use
- The enclosed funnel and lid design limits spillage and keeps the service point presentable
- Compact footprint suits most buffet counters without consuming significant space
Installation requires no pipework or electrical connection — the DMPC1 is entirely gravity-fed and manual in operation. It simply needs a stable, level surface. Cleaning involves disassembly of the container and dispensing components, which is a routine task between service periods. It is worth confirming product viscosity is within the suitable range for the mechanism, as very thick or chunky products may not dispense cleanly.
This dispenser is well suited to hotels, contract caterers, café-style operations, and any site running a self-service food offer where portion consistency matters. For operators needing larger capacity or multiple dispensers in a bank configuration, it is worth discussing the full IDM range to find the right fit for your volume and product type.
If you are unsure whether this model suits your particular product or service format, our team is happy to talk it through with you.
£118.00(£141.60 inc VAT)
The IDM HMPC1 is a wall-mounted portion control dispenser designed for self-service and buffet environments where consistent dispensing of sauces, dressings, cereals, or similar products is required. It uses IDM's patented Multi-X mechanism to deliver measured portions on demand, reducing over-dispensing and helping operators manage food costs more effectively.
In busy buffet or catering settings, uncontrolled self-service dispensing can lead to significant product waste over the course of a service period. The HMPC1 addresses this directly by locking output to a pre-set portion size, so guests receive a consistent amount with each press regardless of how busy the service gets. The mechanism is straightforward to operate for guests and doesn't require staff attendance at the station once set up.
Practical benefits for operators include:
- Five adjustable portion levels giving flexibility across different menu applications
- Wall-mounted bracket keeps counter surfaces clear and the unit stable during service
- SAN container is food-safe and allows visual stock monitoring without removing the unit
- ABS lid and funnel aid hygienic refilling with minimal spillage
- Portion control directly supports food cost management in self-service settings
Installation is straightforward — the supplied metal wall bracket requires basic fixings to a suitable wall surface, and no electrical or plumbing connection is needed. It's worth considering the mounting height carefully for accessibility, particularly in settings with mixed guest profiles. The 1.5-litre capacity suits moderate-volume service; for higher-throughput operations or longer service periods without restocking, a larger-capacity unit may be worth considering.
This dispenser is well suited to hotel breakfast buffets, canteens, staff restaurants, and similar self-service catering environments where portion consistency and waste reduction matter. It handles pourable products of appropriate viscosity — operators with thicker sauces or products with particulates should confirm suitability before purchasing.
If you're unsure whether this model fits your specific service setup or product type, we're happy to help you work through the options.
£109.00(£130.80 inc VAT)
The IDM FBD100 is a wall or shelf-mounted dry food dispenser designed for self-serve and buffet environments. It holds a substantial volume of dry goods and is commonly used for cereals, granola, nuts, lentils, beans, legumes, and confectionery — anything free-flowing that benefits from a controlled portion mechanism at a serve-yourself station.
In practice, the FBD100 suits breakfast buffets, salad bars, and snack stations where customers serve themselves throughout a service period. The Free Flow PRO dispensing mechanism offers two portion levels — standard and low — which allows operators to manage throughput and reduce waste without needing to adjust the unit between services. This kind of adjustability is genuinely useful where portion consistency matters, whether for cost control or allergen management workflows.
Key practical points worth noting:
- Two selectable portion levels help manage waste and control costs at self-serve stations
- Wall or shelf mounting keeps counter space clear and suits display-led buffet layouts
- BPA-free construction complies with FDA and EU food contact material regulations
- SAN container body is robust and well suited to the daily handling of a busy service
- Nickel-coated metal handle adds durability over standard plastic-only alternatives
Installation is straightforward — the unit can be wall-mounted using standard fixings or placed on a shelf, and requires no electrical connection. It is worth considering the mounting position carefully in relation to customer flow, as the dispensing mechanism works best when the unit is at a comfortable reach height. The container should be filled from above, so overhead clearance for filling is worth factoring into placement.
The FBD100 is well suited to hotels, serviced apartments, staff canteens, and any operation running a self-serve breakfast or snack station. For very high-footfall venues requiring larger capacity, a higher-volume dispenser may be worth considering. For smaller or lower-frequency stations, the FBD100 represents a practical, appropriately specified choice.
If you are planning a buffet station and want to talk through how many units you need or how best to arrange them for your service flow, we are happy to help before you order.
£398.00(£477.60 inc VAT)
The IDM ACD30-BL-FF is a countertop dry food dispenser designed for buffet and self-service operations. Each cylinder holds 4.5 litres and is fitted with IDM's patented Free Flow dispensing mechanism, which allows operators or guests to select from three portion levels — minimum, mid, and maximum — depending on the product being served and the portions required.
In a buffet or breakfast service environment, portion control and presentation both matter. The three-level dispensing adjustment helps reduce waste and maintain a consistent guest experience throughout service, whether you're running a hotel breakfast, a leisure facility, or a contract catering operation. The mechanism is designed to handle free-flowing dry goods such as cereals, granola, nuts, dried fruit, and similar products reliably across a full service period.
The unit is supplied complete as a ready-to-use assembly:
- Black powder-coated stand with aluminium drip tray
- SAN (styrene acrylonitrile) cylinders — clear, durable, and easy to inspect for fill level
- Silver ABS lids and black dispensing funnels
- Nickel-coated metal handles for a more considered finish on a self-service counter
All food-contact components are BPA-free and comply with both FDA and EU food contact material regulations, which is a straightforward compliance requirement for any commercial or institutional food service operation.
There are no electrical or plumbing requirements — the unit is entirely self-contained and can be positioned wherever counter space allows. It is best suited to operations serving dry goods in a self-service format. For sites with high throughput or a need for multiple dispenser banks, it is worth considering how many cylinders and what total capacity your service period demands.
If you're unsure whether this unit suits the volume or layout of your operation, we're happy to talk it through.
£350.00(£420.00 inc VAT)
The IDM H30-BL-FF is a wall-mounted dry food dispenser designed for buffet, self-service, and front-of-house catering environments. Each cylinder holds 4.5 litres of dry product — typically cereals, granola, nuts, dried fruit, rice, or similar free-flowing foods — and dispenses via a patented Free Flow mechanism that gives operators control over portion size without requiring staff attendance at the station.
The Free Flow system offers three portion settings (minimum, mid, and maximum), which helps manage product consumption and reduce waste during busy service periods. In a breakfast buffet or self-service canteen setting, this kind of portion control is practically useful — guests get a consistent serve, and operators avoid the over-dispensing that often occurs with uncontrolled gravity units.
Built for display-facing use, the unit is constructed with SAN containers for clarity and visibility of stock levels, with black ABS funnels, lids, and nickel-coated metal handles giving a clean, consistent finish suited to guest-facing counters. Wall mounting is handled via included metal brackets, keeping the unit off the counter surface and making the area beneath easier to clean.
- Portion-controlled dispensing reduces product waste at self-service stations
- Wall-mounted installation frees up counter space and simplifies cleaning
- Clear SAN containers allow staff to monitor stock levels at a glance
- Three portion settings suit different product types and service styles
- Durable construction suited to daily buffet and self-service use
This unit is well suited to hotels, contract caterers, staff restaurants, and similar operations running fixed buffet stations. For higher-volume sites or larger display runs, units with greater cylinder capacity or multi-bay configurations may be worth considering.
If you're unsure whether this dispenser suits your portion sizes, product types, or counter layout, the team is happy to talk it through before you order.
£197.00(£236.40 inc VAT)
The IDM DPD2-BL is a countertop powder dispenser designed to hold and portion two dry ingredients side by side — typically coffee and sugar, though it handles any fine powder including creamer, sweetener, or cocoa. Each clear SAN cylinder holds 1.5 litres and sits in a black stand sized to accommodate a standard cup beneath the dispensing spout.
The dispensing mechanism is a simple one-handed swipe action that delivers a measured teaspoon of powder per stroke. In a busy break room, cafeteria service counter, or front-of-house beverage station, this removes the mess and inconsistency of loose jars and sachets. Staff spend less time searching for the right container and less time cleaning up spillage around hot drinks stations.
From a practical standpoint, the airtight lift-top lids help keep contents fresh between service periods — useful where dispensers are left on a counter overnight or over a weekend. The transparent cylinders make stock levels visible at a glance, so refilling can be anticipated rather than discovered mid-service. The unit is BPA-free and compliant with EU food contact regulations.
- Reduces spillage and mess at beverage stations during busy service
- Portion-controlled dispensing keeps sugar and coffee consistent across staff
- Airtight lids protect contents from moisture and contamination
- Clear cylinders allow quick visual stock checks without opening
- Compact footprint suits counters with limited space
This unit is well suited to lower-to-medium-volume sites — cafeterias, office kitchens, small hotel breakfast stations, and similar environments. For higher-throughput operations where large volumes of powder need to be dispensed continuously, a more heavy-duty bulk dispensing solution may be worth considering.
If you're unsure whether this fits your beverage station setup or want to talk through volume requirements, our team is happy to help you work it out before you order.
£253.00(£303.60 inc VAT)
The IDM DPD3-BL is a countertop powder dispenser housing three individual 1.5-litre containers on a single black stand. Each container dispenses one measured teaspoon of powder per action, making it a practical solution wherever consistent portioning of coffee, sugar, creamer, or similar dry powders is needed throughout the service day.
In hospitality and catering settings, portion control is less about convenience and more about cost management. A click-dispenser mechanism removes the guesswork from self-service stations, keeping portion sizes consistent and reducing waste over a busy service period. The clear SAN containers allow staff to monitor stock levels at a glance without opening lids, which supports efficient restocking before a rush rather than during one.
From an operational standpoint, the DPD3-BL offers several practical advantages for front-of-house and self-service environments:
- Airtight lift-top lids help maintain freshness between services
- Clear containers allow quick visual stock checks without removing lids
- Single-action dispensing suits high-traffic self-service counters
- BPA-free construction and compliance with EU food contact regulations
- Compact footprint fits standard countertop space with room for a cup beneath the spout
Installation requirements are minimal — the unit is freestanding, requires no power or plumbing, and simply needs a stable, level surface. It is worth considering the available counter depth to ensure the stand, containers, and a standard cup beneath the spout all sit comfortably within your service area.
This dispenser is well suited to cafeterias, hotel breakfast stations, office break rooms, and self-service beverage counters with moderate to high daily footfall. For very high-volume operations or sites needing larger individual container capacity, it is worth exploring heavier-duty alternatives before committing.
If you are unsure whether this unit fits your service setup, we are happy to talk it through.
£156.00(£187.20 inc VAT)
The IDM HPD2-BL is a wall-mounted dual-cylinder dispenser designed to store and portion dry powders such as instant coffee, ground coffee, sugar, creamer, cocoa powder, and similar granular or powdered ingredients. Each of the two clear containers holds 1.5 litres and is fitted with an airtight lift-top lid, keeping contents fresh between service periods. A single swipe of the handle dispenses a measured teaspoon portion directly into the cup below, removing the need for scoops, sachets, or open jars on the counter.
In cafeteria and hospitality environments, small details around beverage service stations matter. Loose sugar packets create mess, open containers attract moisture and odours, and shared scoops raise hygiene concerns. This dispenser addresses all three: the portion-controlled mechanism reduces waste, the sealed containers maintain ingredient quality, and wall mounting keeps the counter clear for workflow. The SAN containers are transparent throughout, so staff can judge refill requirements at a glance without opening anything.
- Wall-mounted design frees up counter space at beverage stations
- Portion-controlled dispensing reduces waste and ensures consistency
- Airtight lids protect contents from moisture, odours and contamination
- Clear containers allow quick visual stock checks without opening
- BPA-free construction and compliance with EU food contact regulations
Installation is straightforward — the unit mounts to a flat wall surface and requires no electrical connection or plumbing. It is best positioned at an accessible height above a drip tray or counter edge. There are no moving mechanical parts beyond the dispense lever, so maintenance is limited to regular cleaning of the cylinders and spout.
This dispenser suits cafeterias, hotel breakfast stations, office break rooms, and staff welfare areas where a tidy, self-serve beverage point is needed. It is not intended for high-volume production kitchens where bulk ingredient throughput demands larger storage. If you are fitting out multiple stations or need a higher-capacity solution, other options in the range may be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether this unit suits your setup or want to discuss beverage station equipment more broadly, the team is happy to help.
£197.00(£236.40 inc VAT)
The IDM HPD3-BL is a wall-mounted, three-cylinder powder dispenser designed to organise and portion-control dry ingredients such as instant coffee, ground coffee, sugar, creamer, and similar powders. Each of the three clear SAN containers holds 1.5 litres, and the unit mounts directly to the wall to free up counter space where it is typically at a premium — particularly in café service points, staff canteens, break rooms, and hospitality beverage stations.
In day-to-day service, the click-dispense mechanism delivers a consistent measure with each pull of the handle, which reduces waste and keeps service moving without staff having to measure or handle loose ingredients. The airtight lift-top lids help maintain freshness between refills, which matters in environments where containers may sit partially filled for extended periods. The clear cylinders make stock levels immediately visible, so running out mid-service is less likely to catch anyone off guard.
Practical advantages for front-of-house and self-service beverage points include:
- Portion-controlled dispensing reduces ingredient waste per serving
- Wall-mounted installation removes clutter from limited counter space
- Clear cylinders allow at-a-glance stock monitoring without opening lids
- Airtight lids help keep powders fresh between service periods
- BPA-free and compliant with EU food contact regulations
Installation is straightforward — the unit mounts to a suitable wall surface and requires no plumbing or electrical connection. It is best positioned at a comfortable dispensing height for the intended user, whether staff or self-service guests. The unit is not designed for bulk-volume operations where very high throughput of hot beverages is required; in those settings, a plumbed-in or automated solution would be more practical.
The HPD3-BL suits cafés, hotel beverage stations, office break rooms, staff canteens, and similar environments where a tidy, portion-controlled dry-ingredient station adds genuine operational value. It is a relatively compact, low-cost addition that addresses a common minor frustration in shared beverage areas.
If you are unsure whether this fits your specific setup or would like to discuss alternatives for higher-volume sites, the team is happy to help you think it through before you order.
