Cotton candy, popcorn and chocolate equipment FRANCESCO PALANCA SI-600

This popcorn machine uses traditional oil frying to produce popcorn quickly. The stainless-steel vat heats evenly, while an automatic mixer prevents kernels from sticking or burning. The process yields light, fully popped corn in a short time without scorching.

Operation is straightforward: add oil and kernels, secure the tempered-glass cover, and choose between standard or quick cooking modes. Internal LED lighting allows monitoring without lifting the cover. Once complete, the popcorn can be served directly from the unit.

Constructed from stainless steel and tempered glass, the machine is durable and simple to maintain. A built-in thermostat regulates temperature to avoid overheating and deliver consistent results.

With a 1.95 kW power rating, the SI-600 requires a suitable electrical supply. It operates on 230 V, compatible with standard UK single-phase connections. The dimensions—720 mm wide, 570 mm deep, and 1030 mm high—allow placement on a counter or worktop. The stainless-steel build also permits easy relocation using a standard kitchen trolley.

Cleaning is uncomplicated: wipe the glass cover, remove any leftover kernels, and wash the stainless-steel surfaces with warm, soapy water. Allow the heated base and mixer to cool before cleaning to prevent damage.

The SI-600 appears in professional catering catalogues alongside other counter-top snack preparation appliances.
