Delivery Information

Price Match

The San Jamar C5450C18 Sentry is an 18-inch in-counter cup dispenser designed for fixed installation into a countertop or serving station. It accepts cups with rim diameters in the 79–114mm range, making it suitable for a broad spread of standard disposable cup sizes used in cafés, canteens, fast food operations, and self-service beverage stations. The dispenser sits flush within the counter surface, keeping the cup stack contained, hygienic, and out of reach of general customer handling.

In a busy service environment, consistent cup dispensing matters more than it might appear. The Sentry's adjustable lever mechanism is engineered to release cups one at a time cleanly, which reduces the frustration of cups jamming, double-dispensing, or arriving at the counter crushed. The adjustment can be made even with cups already loaded, which is a practical advantage during a service period when stopping to clear and reload the dispenser is not realistic.

From an operational and hygiene standpoint, the design includes a contamination guard that limits debris entering the tube from above, and the tube itself is a translucent blue material — a recognised food safety colour — which allows staff to carry out a quick visual check on cup levels and cleanliness without dismantling anything.

  • Trim ring around the counter opening discourages customer tampering
  • Lever adjustment accessible during live service without unloading cups
  • One-at-a-time dispensing reduces cup damage and waste
  • Translucent blue tube supports quick hygiene and stock-level checks
  • Compatible with a wide rim diameter range, reducing the need for multiple dispensers

This model is well suited to counters with a moderate to high throughput of hot or cold drinks — coffee shops, hospital or workplace canteens, and fast casual restaurant service stations being typical environments. For very high-volume sites where multiple cup sizes are in simultaneous use, it is worth considering whether a surface-mounted or multi-unit configuration would better serve the operation.

If you are unsure whether the C5450C18 is the right fit for your counter depth, cup stock, or service layout, our team is happy to talk it through with you.

Frequently asked questions

What cup sizes will this dispenser actually fit?

The C5450C18 is designed for cups with rim diameters between 79mm and 114mm, which covers a broad range of standard disposable cups used for hot and cold drinks in commercial settings. If you are unsure of your cup's rim diameter, it is worth measuring before ordering — cup sizes quoted by suppliers can refer to base diameter or volume rather than the rim, which is what determines fitment here.

How much counter depth does the in-counter installation require?

The dispenser tube drops below the counter surface, so you will need sufficient clearance beneath your counter for the full 18-inch tube length plus any access space for reloading. It is advisable to check the available under-counter depth at your intended installation point before fitting, particularly in counters with built-in shelving or refrigerated bases.

Is this dispenser suitable for a self-service customer-facing counter?

Yes, the in-counter format and trim ring design are well suited to self-service environments where you want cups accessible but protected from tampering or contamination. The one-at-a-time dispensing action also helps prevent customers pulling multiple cups at once, which can be a source of waste in high-footfall settings.
