Popcorn & Candy Floss Machines
Popcorn and candy floss machines are novelty food machines used at cinemas, events, hotel functions and family-friendly pubs to produce fresh popcorn or spun sugar candy floss as a treat or add-on revenue item. Stainless steel bodies and easy-access sugar/kernel wells simplify cleaning between events.

Popcorn & Candy Floss Machines — FAQs
What size popcorn machine suits a family pub or event venue?
An 8oz (about 227g) kettle producing roughly 100-150g of popped corn per batch suits most pub and event-scale service; larger cinema-style venues may want bigger kettle sizes for continuous output.
Do candy floss machines need special sugar?
Standard candy floss (flossing) sugar is recommended over regular granulated sugar, since it’s formulated to spin consistently at the machine’s operating temperature without clumping or burning.
The range runs predominantly on Haxro, with Roller Grill also well represented.
