ABSTRACT:
An automated batch popcorn popper includes a tiltable kettle actuated by a motor drive controlled to operate in a single batch and automatic dump process. An operator fills the kettle with popping corn and oil and initiates a timer which, controls popping and automatically dumps the popped popcorn into the popper cabinet. This eliminates burnt batches, and the need for constant operator attention while increasing production. Apparatus and methods are disclosed.
