SELF-FILLING CORN CAKE MACHINE
S. F. 3 Machine Making Crispettes

You see at last we have a machine that will make the mixed corn into cakes faster than you can get the batches to it. No longer need you blister your hands filling corn into moulds and make your cakes too solid, or have the batch get cold before all are moulded. As the name says, this machine is a “self filling” machine. You simply place the freshly mixed corn in the hopper on the feed rolls and the machine lays the finished cakes on the conveyor.
Not alone is this machine making in many places the round whole corn fritters, but it works well on ground pop-corn.
It is made up special for cakes of square and oblong shape. It is also used in putting out strips of corn marked to be broken into penny pieces. In fact new applications of this machine are being found constantly. Even a ball of pop-corn is one of the products this machine can be made to produce.
With this automatic means of moulding corn, you can now make at a profit small and thin cakes of corn that could not be made by hand.

Each pressed sheet of Brittle Bitts is 9 inches wide by 16 inches long and composed of 12 sticks 16 inches long.
You may cut them into any length that will divide into 16 inches without waste. Thus, you cut 16 pieces 1 inch long, or 4 pieces 4 inches long.
You can break them apart so as to have each cake made up of two sticks, three sticks or four sticks without waste.
The mechanical handling of sheet Pop-Corn is well described elsewhere in Knott’s Pop-Corn Book.
