Texas-based IMONEX® celebrates 40 years of making coin and token acceptors used in laundries

IMONEX – known as “the legend in coin flow” – states that its coin and token acceptance products are employed to transact payment in laundries, car washes, amusement venues and vending machines. President Butch Bruner: “Store owners and their customers rely on the simplicity of coin and token drops to pay for wash and dry. We pride ourselves in providing affordable solutions delivering consistent, high performance in laundry and other demanding environments.”

Four decades ago, Bruner built an injection mold to develop a vending machine component while operating Apollo Vending, a Houston-area route operation founded by his father. The product launch induced Bruner and his wife to establish Imonex and bring an array of patented payment devices to market, including a no-moving-parts roll down acceptor designed to virtually eliminate coin jams.

Originally fashioned from a garage workspace, Imonex’s acceptors — including dual-value coin and token models for washers and dryers — are precision-crafted in the company’s 37,000-square-foot facility and put to work at self-service machines worldwide. Models are available for single-coin or multi-coin use and virtually accept all international coins. Models are available for Continental, IPSO, Maytag, Wascomat  and many other machines.
