To build the machine, the team had spent 4 months to plan and the customized pieces were assembled at location (Ground Floor Main Entrance) in a 2 months’ time frame. Bringing the total time spent for building this machine to a frame of 6 months.
The main individuals involved in this adjudication process was Ms. Koh Huey Min, Executive Director of Berjaya Times Square KL, the appointed official surveyor Mr. Wong Chee Sing, and the invited guest of honor that came all the way from London, Mr. Jack Brockbank as the official adjudicator.
The first process of the adjudication was scrutinizing the height of the machine. They then moved on to check the volume capacity of the capsule vending machine and according to the guidelines, the capsule vending machine must be filled with half of the capsules. There was a rod piercing through the capsule container to indicate that the capsule level was indeed what they were looking for. It was confirmed that the container was filled with more than half with capsules towering at 8 feet.
We then came to the final part which was to measure the diameter and width (15 feet and 5 inches) of the capsule container & inspect the materials that were used such as Perspex, steel and LED lightings to build this machine. The capsule container is made up of many panels which are molded into a sphere. This machine is not only the world’s largest, it is also the world’s first and this record is unprecedented. After moments of pin drop silence and the air filled with thick excitement, the machine was pronounced clocking in at 32 feet and 3 inches in height!
Berjaya Times Square is now the proud owners of this “World’s Largest Capsule Vending Machine” title. We would like to extend our gratitude to them for giving Ice Cream Events Management KL the opportunity to be a part of something this great & huge. We are definitely looking forward to executing the main event on the 29th of September 2013 “The Big-Tenrific Bash!” and you, Yes YOU the one reading this, if you are free kindly drop by (LG Floor – Grand Musical Stairway) to catch us live from 3pm onwards on the 29th.
