What Popper Size Should I Choose?
How Do I Determine the Right Popper Size for My Needs?
This is a frequently asked question to help determine the appropriate machine size.
Select the size that meets your requirements. Popcorn machines are categorized based on their kettle size, which denotes the amount of popcorn they can produce in a single three-minute popping cycle. For instance, a 6 oz. popcorn machine will pop six ounces of popcorn within three minutes, equivalent to one small individual serving. When operated continuously, our popcorn machines can complete up to 20 popping cycles in an hour. Consequently, a popcorn machine can generate as many as 120 one-ounce servings per hour using this formula (6 ounces x 20 cycles = 120 one-ounce servings per hour).
To calculate serving sizes for other kettle sizes, simply apply this straightforward formula:
- 6 oz kettle = 120 one-ounce servings per hour
- 8 oz kettle = 160 one-ounce servings per hour
- 12 oz kettle = 240 one-ounce servings per hour
- 16 oz kettle = 380 one-ounce servings per hour
- 20 oz kettle = 400 one-ounce servings per hour
- 32 oz kettle = 640 one-ounce servings per hour
- 48 oz kettle = 960 one-ounce servings per hour
- 60 oz kettle = 1,200 one-ounce servings per hour
In conclusion, determining the right popcorn machine size is essential for meeting your specific needs.
By considering the kettle size, which indicates the amount of popcorn produced in a single three-minute popping cycle, you can tailor your choice to match your requirements accurately. Whether it's a 6 oz. machine for 120 one-ounce servings per hour or a larger kettle for even more substantial production, this straightforward formula simplifies the selection process. So, whether you're preparing popcorn for personal enjoyment or a large-scale event, choosing the appropriate machine size ensures a popcorn supply that meets your demands efficiently.
