1. Popcorn machines are divided into electric heating and gas heating. The power consumption of small electric popcorn machines is 1300 watts, which is extremely high and must use a 220V power supply. Therefore, mobile operations cannot use such glass-cased electric machines, and gas-heated machines must be selected.
That is, when operating, in addition to the machine, prepare a small gas tank and a 12-volt 12-amp battery.
2. Popcorn needs to be constantly stirred during production, and manual stirring is inefficient and very tiring. It takes 6-7 minutes for one person to operate a pot of popcorn. The automatic stirring speed is uniform. During the production process of the machine, the operator can do other tasks such as material preparation, packaging, change and greeting customers. It only takes about 2 minutes for one person to operate a pot of popcorn. And as long as a battery with more power can drive the stirring motor of the machine. And the battery can also be connected to a light bulb for lighting.
3. The quality of popcorn machines is uneven, and good quality can be used for more than ten years. Picking a machine is the first hurdle for business success.
For example, the most common machine on the market today is a non-stick pan modified machine. Under the high temperature of gas heating, the coating quickly peeled off, and it became a sticky pan. The non-stick coating is attached to the popcorn and can be seriously toxic to humans if eaten. When the heating exceeds 200 degrees, the non-stick coating will also release toxic gases to harm the operator and people around the pot;
There is also a popcorn machine transformed from a pressure cooker, and the pot body is rapidly deformed under the high temperature heating of popcorn. The pot scale and the pot body are bonded together and cannot be brushed or shoveled, and the pot is stuck. Some designs even leak raw materials. The aluminum element is attached to the popcorn, and customers can also harm the body when they eat it.
The large popcorn machine has a more eye-catching appearance, but the energy consumption is high and the efficiency is low. More than one third of the gas used to process a pot is wasted, and the speed is very slow, because no matter how big the pot is, only a small part of the bottom of the pot is heated. Work efficiency is not even comparable to small devices. The cost of using this kind of machine is too high and the waste is serious.
Therefore, it is necessary to carefully understand the advantages and disadvantages of various machines and make rational choices.
