MACHINE MIXING OF POP-CORN AND CANDY
The use of the Knott Pop-Corn Mixing Machine has been well considered and yet the mechanical mixing of pop-corn cannot be emphasized too much.
Many failures in the pop-corn confection business are due to poor mixing. Soggy confection, “hot spot,” that is spots in the confection where there is much more candy than anywhere else. Uneven appearance and texture to the confection, due to slow mixing.
See that you make the best, and only by using Knott’s Pop-Corn Mixing Machine can the best be made.
You must realize that a dough mixer is not a cake mixer, is not an egg beater, is not a concrete mixer, is not a pop-corn mixer.
You know the materials are not alike and the result wanted in each case is different.
You see why you should use a machine specially developed for pop-corn, to distribute the hot syrup quickly and evenly over the pop-corn and give a light fluffy mixture.
Knott’s Pop-Corn Mixing Machine is made specially for Pop-corn, to give the result you want.
Use this method for quality and economy. Mix your Pop-corn in the hot kettle, in which you have just boiled your syrup, and use Knott’s Pop-corn Mixing Machine.
You mix all kinds of pop-corn on this machine better than it can be done any other way.
Whole pop-corn is mixed without breaking the kernels.
Goods are mixed up light, fluffy, thoroughly, evenly.
You distribute the syrup so quickly over the pop-corn that you can cook it higher.
The goods eat better.
Economy.
You do away with hand mixing entirely.
Make more goods with less labor.
Not so many containers.
The cook makes no difference.
You get more cakes from the same batch; that is, you save in any case more than fourteen per cent. on your bills for material.
Stirs a bushel of pop-corn without throwing any out of the kettle.
Mixes different kinds of batches without any change of adjustment of either paddles or speed.
Nothing to wear the kettles.
So quickly is the syrup distributed that it takes less syrup to cover the pop-corn.
