Cotton candy, popcorn and chocolate equipment HENDI 282809

A cotton candy machine spins melted sugar into fine threads that wrap around a stick or cone, creating the familiar fluffy texture. The heating element softens granulated sugar until it becomes liquid, while the spinning head flings the liquid outward through small holes. As the sugar hits the cooler air, it solidifies into delicate strands that collect on the sides of the bowl, ready to be gathered with a stick or paper cone.

To operate the machine, the operator first secures the stainless steel bowl with the four mounts. Granulated sugar is added to the dispenser, and the power and heating switches are turned on. The indicator lights confirm that both elements are active. As the bowl heats, the sugar melts and the spinning head begins to fling the liquid sugar outward. The operator then uses a stick or cone to gather the forming cotton candy, rotating it around the edges of the bowl to build up the fluffy mass. Once finished, the machine is switched off and allowed to cool before cleaning.

The housing is made of carbon steel, finished in pink paint for visibility and durability. The removable stainless steel bowl is dishwasher-safe, fastened securely with four mounts to prevent movement during operation. The motor housing includes an overload fuse to protect against blockages, and separate switches control the power and heating elements. A drawer beneath the machine stores stirrers, sugar, colourings and other accessories, while wheels allow the unit to be moved easily between locations.

The 1.13 kW power rating indicates the load on the electrical circuit, requiring a dedicated 230 V supply. The dimensions of 948 mm long, 520 mm wide and 914 mm high determine the space needed on a worktop or counter, while the 19.72 kg weight allows the machine to be wheeled into position without lifting. The removable bowl simplifies cleaning, and the dishwasher-safe material ensures hygiene standards are maintained. The included lid, sold separately as article 282755, protects the bowl when not in use.

Cleaning involves removing the bowl and washing it in a dishwasher or by hand. The carbon steel housing can be wiped down with a damp cloth, while the sugar dispenser and drawer should be emptied and cleaned regularly to prevent residue build-up. The wheels should be checked periodically to ensure smooth movement.

The machine is designed for professional use in catering environments, with a mobile cart for flexibility in event settings. The pink housing and compact footprint make it suitable for visible service areas, while the storage drawer keeps accessories organised during operation.
