Fig. 1 Main components
Turbine (Blower)
The turbine provides constantly circulating airflow inside the popper. This is a
direct type drive; the blower sits on motor's shaft. Rotational speed is controlled
by the main PLC.
Chamber
This is where popping happens. Airflow circulates through the chamber; air is
being heated by heating elements. In the chamber's lower part there is a bowl
with special shaped holes that causes air vortex.
During machine operation corn kernels are being fed into the chamber; kernels
are being heated up, and finally, immediately blown away from the chamber
once popped.
Chamber can be easily accessed through the door provided. Halogen lamp
illuminates chamber inside, helping operator to control the operation.
