(54)	Automatic vending apparatus with improved cooling system

(57) Automatic vending apparatus for goods of different kind, featuring an improved cooling system.
The items to be sold are arranged on the shelves (26) of a drum (25) adapted to rotate about a central hollow column (27).
The cooling medium is caused to flow through the column (27), while flow adjusting means (60-63) are provided in correspondence of the various shelves (26). The possibility is thereby provided to create zones at homogenous, but differentiated temperatures inside the vending apparatus.
