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).
Chamber temperature sensor (2) constantly mea-
sures temperature in the chamber.
Optical sensor (3) controls corn movement inside
the chamber. Machine will not start next batch until
a batch of corn is completely processed, thus avoid-
ing chamber clogging with corn kernels and pop-
corn.
Ba e (5) divides the chamber to separate the area
where corn kernels are being heated up, and the out-
put area.
Mesh screen (6) protects internal air ducts from be-
ing clogged with popcorn dust and scrap.
Back light (7) illuminates the chamber, so the op-
erator can visually control the process through the ob-
servation port in the chamber door.
