Page 5: Ambient Conditions
1.5 Ambient conditions The equipment is designed to be operated at the ambient temperature from +5°C to +40°C (+41°F to +104°F) and relative humidity not more than 45% at 40°C (104°F) while using at altitudes not exceeding 1000 m over the sea level. The temperature decreasing is related to RH increasing, for example, 90% of RH at 20°C (68°F). -
Page 6: Design And Principle Of Operation
2 Design and principle of operation 2.1 Principle of operation The machine and its main parts are represented on Fig.1. Principle of operation is the following. Turbine (5) creates airflow circulating through the chamber (3), then to heating elements area (6), and then back to the turbine. The direction of airflow is shown in red arrows. Corn kernels are supplied from the corn bin with feeder (4) in the chamber. -
Page 7: Working Chamber
2.2 Working chamber Opened chamber is shown on Fig.2. Perforated bowl (1) has special shaped holes, that allow to create the air vortex as air flow comes in from the turbine. Corn kernels is fed into the chamber from the corn supply tube outlet (4). -

Popping mode This is the main mode of operation. -
Page 11: Intended Use
3 Intended use 3.1 Operating order 1. Ensure the chamber is clean. 2. Ensure the receiving device (e.g. VPM-RGSM3EU sifting drum) is running. 3. Fill corn bin with corn kernels at least for 3/4 of its volume. 4. Press START to turn the machine on. Machine begins to heat up. 5. -

4 Settings 4.1 Popping temperature Temperature regulator has Process value (PV) display (1), Set value (SV) display (2), and ad- justing keys (3), see Fig.5: Figure 5: Temperature regulator panel Popping temperature a ects shape and size of popcorn. Too high temperature leads to smaller popcorn and possible chamber clogging. -
Page 13: Turbine Speed
4.3 Turbine speed Turbine speed for Mushroom should be higher than for Butterfly. Unlike Mushroom, which has proper spherical shape, Butterfly has irregular shape with “winglets”; hence less intense airflow is required to blow out Butterfly popcorn; and more intensive airflow is required for Mushroom. -
Page 14: Popcorn Quality
5 Popcorn quality Popcorn is a product that requires ultimate attention towards many aspects. Understanding popcorn processing technology is essential to get high quality product. 5.1 Raw corn It is impossible to get good stable result using low quality supplies, first of all, raw corn kernels.
