RoboLabs Vortex Popcorn Robopop 60 Instruction Manual page 7

Working chamber inside is shown on Fig. 2.
The perforated bowl (7) has many holes of special shape. Air flow
from turbine goes from below and, due to that holes, creates air
vortex inside the chamber (shown by an arrow).
Corn kernels come into the chamber from the supply tube (3).
Due to the vortex, corn kernels are constantly moving around
center of the perforated bowl.
Baffle (4) divides the chamber for the area where corn kernels are
being heated up, and the output area.
Mesh screen (5) protects internal cavities (including heating
elements area) from popcorn dust and scrap accumulation.
Temperature sensor (1) measures air temperature in the
chamber.
Heat-resistant head (2) is a sensitive element that linked to a fiber
amplifier located in the electric panel. This system controls corn
movement inside the chamber. In case of corn is accumulated in

large amount, which is not moving, the machine alarms the
operator and stop corn feeding to avoid chamber clogging.
Chamber lamp (6) illuminates the chamber, so an operator can visually control the process
through the observation port in the chamber door.
Sifter cabinet is shown on Fig. 3. Popped popcorn comes from the working chamber via
opening (4). Sifter (1) has perforation that allows scrap to be screened to the crumb tray (5).
Sifter lays on idle roller (2) and drive roller (7). Motor (6) drives the drive roller. Oil nozzle (3)
is connected to the oil pump.
