• Vertical cabinet format that minimises footprint and maximises container storage
• Modular architecture — scalable up to 7 cabinets
• Accepts cans and plastic bottles; supports glass with an optional bottle raiser
• One roller cage per cabinet
• Tool-free access to components for service and cleaning
• Optimised internal lighting for maintenance visibility
