Vertical flow machine operation recommendation
ACB-09-120 is intended for prolonged operation at a high production rate.
Only vertical flow machines allow you to perform entertaining tricks when
making cotton candy. The most common technique is forcing the candy sleeve
to follow you several feet away from the machine like a "snake" or animated
rope.
The "snake" trick requires plenty of space, and note that if there is wind present
you will have to have the floss follow you down-wind.
Once you have made a small cloud on the stick, pull it smoothly away from the
machine (see the figure below). Keep winding the cotton candy, and do not let it
to fall below the floss pan. Be careful, as winding too rapidly might break the
sleeve.
By moving your hands up and down and changing the angle of the stick, you
will find that you can modify the shape of the snake.
Once you have the hang of it, you will be able to step away from the machine,
as far as 10' to 15' (depending on conditions) and the snake will follow you if
you continue the proper winding rate.
