Sielaff SN48

At 880 millimetres wide, 1,830 millimetres high and 840 millimetres deep, the SN48 occupies around 0.74 square metres of floor space. It is documented as a floor-standing machine for indoor use. This design is only suitable to a limited extent for small break rooms, narrow corridors or sites with limited floor space. Door widths, the transport route and the final position must be checked before ordering. A verified service clearance is not stated publicly.

At 265 kilograms net weight according to the latest manufacturer information, the SN48 is not a machine an operator can move at short notice. One dealer lists around 300 kilograms for a configured variant. According to the research, the difference depends on the configuration and equipment. Installation therefore requires a load-bearing floor, suitable transport equipment and a robust delivery plan. The electrical supply is specified as 220–230 volts, 50–60 hertz and at least 10 amps.

The reviewed documents do not specify the materials used in the cabinet construction. Claims about sheet thickness, coating, corrosion protection or special vandal resistance therefore cannot be substantiated. This is less critical at indoor sites with controlled access than in publicly accessible areas. No documented approval for outdoor use is available. The operator should confirm the material specification before purchase using a quotation or sample.

The SN48’s technical core consists of 48 selections, five or six levels and a drop-spiral dispensing system. The spirals dispense products downwards. This works for packaged snacks, drinks and selected fresh items, but sensitive goods require suitable compartment dividers. The manufacturer’s product page also lists a hermetically sealed slide-in refrigeration unit and R290 refrigerant (SN48 manufacturer specifications).

The documented standard version operates at 3 to 7 °C. The technical documentation specifies 4 °C for fresh products in the LM variants (SN48 LM technical data). A two-temperature version keeps the lower zone at 4 °C and the upper zone at 10 to 15 °C (SN48 2T technical data). This variant expands the range, but makes stocking more complex. No public evidence confirms the refrigerant charge in grams. R290 is listed with a GWP of 3. The technical terms and conditions for maintenance and refrigerant work still need to be clarified.

The rated electrical power is 400 W at 230 V. Ecodesign documentation lists energy consumption of 2,144 kWh per 24 hours and 782.39 kWh per year for an SN48-SKA-415 version (SN-48 SKA-415 technical energy documentation). The documented energy consumption applies to the specific tested configuration and does not automatically apply to every SN48 variant. Standby power consumption, noise level and heat-up time have not been verified. The compressor’s dB(A) rating should therefore be requested before installing the machine in noise-sensitive areas.

The 48 product selections are the maximum for the SN48 configuration. The manufacturer’s page lists five or six levels, each with up to eight selections. Five levels provide 40 positions by calculation, while six provide 48. Actual usable capacity therefore depends on the version selected. A blanket claim covering every variant would be inaccurate. SN48 manufacturer specifications

The range can be divided among snacks, cold drinks and fresh food. The dispensing mechanism uses drop spirals. This limits product choice where delicate or unstable packaging is involved. The system is a straightforward fit for standard bars, bags, cans and bottles. No verified figure for maximum product height is available. Operators should therefore check their actual packaging against the spirals and compartments before ordering.

The refrigeration system uses a hermetically sealed slide-in unit and R290 refrigerant. Chilled goods are specified for a temperature range of 3 to 7 °C. The LM version is documented at 4 °C for fresh food. This broadens the range compared with a snack-only machine. The dossier does not substantiate claims about the actual shelf life of specific foods or daily sales volumes. HACCP compliance is documented as partial only. Operators must carry out their own checks for fresh food concepts.

The available documentation provides no verified time estimates for daily or weekly cleaning of the SN48. Specific tasks such as wiping the interior, cleaning the spirals, emptying drip trays or checking seals are not substantiated in the research dossier. It is not possible to derive a reliable operator guide with time estimates from the available information. Sielaff or the responsible service partner must provide a cleaning schedule for operational planning. No reliable public operator feedback is available.

The refrigeration system uses a hermetically sealed slide-in unit and R290 refrigerant. This matters for routine maintenance, since the refrigeration circuit is not equivalent to ordinary cleaning. The manufacturer’s data sheet specifies a temperature range of 3 to 7 °C for the chilled version; the fresh food version is documented at 4 °C. In the two-temperature variant, the upper zone operates at 10 to 15 °C and the lower zone at 4 °C. These figures come from the SN48 manufacturer information and the technical documentation for the 2T version.

With a rated power of 400 W, the machine requires a supply of 220 to 230 V, 50 to 60 Hz and at least 10 A. Documented energy consumption is 2,144 kWh per 24 hours or 782.39 kWh per year. The annual figure comes from the technical Ecodesign documentation for the SN-48 SKA-415 version and cannot automatically be applied to every equipment variant. Verified standby consumption is unavailable. A published noise level and heat-up time are also missing. Sielaff’s energy consumption documentation lists energy efficiency class C.

The substantiated purchase price applies to the SN 48 EB variant. Zoells lists EUR 6,161.00 including German VAT. Based on 19 per cent VAT, the calculated net value is EUR 5,177.31. This is not a general price for every SN48 version. The model is available in variants including EB, RB, LM and LM 2T. The dossier does not list option prices or prices for other versions. The source is a dealer listing for a specific configuration, not a complete manufacturer price list: Zoells, Sielaff SN 48.

A reliable five-year example calculation can therefore only be presented as a lower bound. Purchase price: EUR 5,177.31 net per machine. On a straight-line basis with no residual value, this amounts to EUR 1,035.46 per year per machine. After five years, the calculation therefore includes EUR 5,177.31 in purchase costs. Energy, goods, maintenance, repairs, financing, installation and disposal are not included. The available data does not substantiate a total cost figure.

Energy consumption is documented, but cannot be converted into euros reliably without an electricity tariff. The tested documentation lists 782.39 kWh per year and 2,144 kWh per 24 hours. Based on the annual figure, consumption over five years would be 3,911.95 kWh per machine. The dossier does not specify the electricity price. Any euro total for this cost category would therefore be an assumption, not a research finding. The figures come from the SN-48 SKA-415 technical documentation and Sielaff’s energy consumption labelling.
