A Revolution:Electromagnetic Popcorn Machine

Electromagnetic popcorn machine

XFD released a new successor popcorn machine in 2013. Since then, this generation of Electromagnetic Popcorn Machine has established XFD’s leader position all over the world. The electromagnetic heating technology redefines popcorn machines, this was verified these years.


The traditional electric heating is a process in which electrical energy is converted to heat energy. Normally, the kettle of this type of popcorn machine has a flat bottom. This traditional energy-efficient process only converts 50%-60% of the electrical energy into effectual heat. So the heat losses by heat conduction process are high, it means the energy utilization is low and 40%-50% energy release to the air, which directly make the surroundings hot, and this is why we use the best heater tubes, wires and kettles, but after a long-term use, they will lead to creepage or short circuit. The traditional electric heating popcorn machine can make a kettle of popcorn in five minutes.


Nowadays, compared to the traditional electric heating, the advanced electromagnetic heating is a process in which electromagnetic energy is converted to heat. This uniquely energy-efficient process converts up to 97% of the electrical energy into effectual heat. The induction requires no warm-up or cool-down cycle, stand-by heat losses are reduced to a bare minimum. So the electric utilization is higher, saving energy. The electromagnetic heating popcorn machine can make a kettle of popcorn in three minutes, which is high productivity and 40% power saving. In addition, the electromagnetic working surface is made by heat insulation material, all the wires and other main parts are under the surface (far away from the hot kettle & hot surroundings), therefore the parts have a longer working life. In order to max the energy utilization, the bottom of electromagnetic popcorn machine’s kettle is designed to be round (Ball Shape), this is a patent for utility medal of XFD.


Why do we design the round bottom kettle? Compared to the flat bottom kettle, the round onehas big advantages: The round bottom kettle could avoid the centrifugal effect and ensure all the corns are in the middle of the bottom (the effectual heating area) and well burst while the stirring rod rotating in the kettle, this directly influences the production yield. The pelletizing ratio for jumbo (ball shape) is up to 90%-91%, which the traditional machine is only 80%-86%, and the production yield is up to 99%. Beside, easily equipped with automatic kettle-cleaning function by using the water droplets’ self-flow characteristic and the stirring rod, these make it easy to clean. Both the stirring rod in the kettle and the electromagnetic working surface don’t touch the round bottom (2mm space) to avoid the kettle being abraded, therefore we could make the round kettle with the stainless steel of 3mm thickness, which is easier to operate and transport.


In short, the Electromagnetic Popcorn Machine is easier to clean up and being maintained, operation safety, cost saving, energy conservation and stable performance. The choice of a new generation: Electromagnetic Popcorn Machine. It is really suitable for retail, theaters, schools and more commercial places. It will exceed your expectation.



Bluetooth Control Technology and XFD app for Poppers

XFD introduces a new option for commercial popcorn machines. The way you control popcorn machine has been changed in the field of popcorn machinery. During near one year, we spend plenty of energy on the control system of popcorn machines, and finally gets a good result: announces an advanced control technology——Bluetooth in popcorn machine and XFD app on mobile.

Popcorn Machine Production Line

Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard for exchanging data over suitable distance from fixed and mobile devices, creating personal area networks with high levels of security. It is a system that allows you to connect a mobile phone to a popcorn machine. Then, XFD app on mobile can control popcorn machines perfectly.


The operation system of XFD popcorn machine can be intelligently controlled via Bluetooth. Our XFD app and control panel contains easy-to-understand icons and operating indictors, enhances readability and shows kettle temperature, cycle count, oil level status and error codes for ease of diagnostic giving you less down time. This advanced technology is very important for operators to work well with popcorn machine. With this remote-controlled technology, the operator is able to do other things or sit comfortably without the stresses of making popcorn processes around him. This advanced technology can be easier to use and train new employees, and will bring benefits to our customers.


Try this machine for retails, home theaters, schools and more commercial places, our technologies will exceed your expectation.

Oil Popped Caramel Popcorn Vs Kettle Coated Caramel Popcorn

What’s the Difference?


When it comes to varieties of popcorn, oil popped carame corn and kettle coated caramel corn are two of the all-time top favorites. But how do the two compare? What are the similarities and differences between them? Let’s dive in and explore.

Caramel Popcorn Making


Taste


While both oil popped caramel corn and kettle coated caramel corn are sweet, kettle coated caramel corn is richer in flavor and texture. Historically sweetened with molasses, caramel corn is most-often caramel-coated. The thin, crunchy, sweet coating is derived from melted sugar. The coating is applied after popping.


Oil popped caramel corn is also a sweet flavor. It is lighter in flavor and texture than kettle coated caramel corn as the sugar is mixed in during popping rather than coated.



Process


How do you make oil popped caramel corn? For oil popped caramel corn, it is traditionally popped in a electric or electromagnetic kettle that has been oiled. As it is popped, the corn is tossed with a little sugar for the sweet popcorn. The commercial process of making oil popped caremel corn is now made more convenient with poppers.


How do you make kettle coated caramel corn? The basic ingredients for making kettle coated caramel corn are butter/oil, brown sugar, corn syrup, maltose, lecithin, and popcorn. First, kernels were heated in hot air popcorn machine. Second, coat pure popcorn with caramel, making kettle coated caramel popcorn by Caramelizer. Notes: Once the popcorn is coated by caramelizer, lecithin is prayed to aid in product separation.



Finally, whether you choose oil popped caramel corn, kettle coated caramel corn, or both, you’ll enjoy key advantages like user-friendly equipment. To schedule a demonstration to learn more, inquired us!
