Popcorn Machine
Our mission statement includes,
“To Improve the Way the World Pops Popcorn!”

That means we need to talk to more operators, listen to you
and challenge the Gold Medal Engineering team to deliver
improved large popcorn machines. If we listen better, and
respond better, 500 more people this year will make the
switch from some other brand large popper over to a 20 oz.,
32 oz., 36 oz. or 48 oz. Gold Medal Popper. It comes from
listening better and responding with the full resources of
our organization.
  • Do you want stronger, more dependable drive motors?
    We no longer use a 1/10 th HP – all Gold Medal larger
    poppers have switched to a 1/6 th HP with 190” lbs.
    of POWER!
  • Want more heat on the popped popcorn? We put twin
    250 watt heat lamps in the cabinet plus have totally
    redesigned the heater blower system to keep the
    popped corn warmer and fresher!
  • Want to eliminate thermostat problems? (And, who
    doesn’t!) We eliminate thermostats – and go to a
    much more dependable and more sensitive heat
    control!
  • Want to eliminate burned popcorn in the kettle? The
    “Big Eye” tells you, “It’s time to dump — popping
    cycle is complete” And, the Big Eye repeats this
    message over and over. This plus a flashing light
    tells you which popper to dump and reload – a
    very handy benefit in situations where more than
    one machine is in the concession stand.
  • Want better tasting popcorn? The “Big Eye” cranks
    the heat down a little as the pop cycle is over. No
    burned corn in the kettle.
  • Want better expansion of your popping kernels? All
    Gold Medal large poppers complete the pop cycle in
    the appropriate time. And, this improves expansion,
    plus gives you more revenue per hour of production!
  • Want “pass through” designs for island popper
    installation? No problem. See the “NPT” models
    neon, plus pass through, you can operate from
    either the front or rear.
  • Want poppers which last longer? That old four-
    year life cycle is history. Gold Medal poppers
    today last twice as long as other brands.
  • Want a machine that’s easier to clean? You’ll get
    it in Gold Medal machines – removable kettles
    make it easy to clean the kettle and to clean the
    glass.
  • Don’t see what you want in the Gold Medal catalog?
    Tell us about it...we’ll listen and usually can respond
    with benefits such as deep wells in Pop-O-Gold’s,
    “Big Eyes” in Cornados, “Sugar or Savory” switch
    on any “Big Eye” equipped popper.
 
  • Want to reduce or eliminate “fall out” of poppable
    kernels? When you switch to Gold Medal, you
    end up with a larger diameter popping surface.
    This generally reduces the fall out because the
    kernels are given every chance to pop.

 


What is the Big Eye?
How does it help you?
When the patent application was
filed several years ago for the
Load ‘N Go popper design, the
Big Eye was part of the “brains”
that made the Load ‘N Go
machine work. Most importantly, the
heat sensors in the Big Eye control
system are constantly reading the
kettle temperature and based on
preset limits, the Big Eye tells the
machine what to do. For example, as
the popping cycle is relatively
complete, the Big Eye prevents
excess heat build up on the cook
surface – and, thus eliminates the
off-taste.
When the popping cycle
is complete, the Big Eye knows and
tells you “Popping Cycle Complete,
Time to Dump and Reload Kettle.”
A visual display tells you which
popper needs attention. Our patent
on this entire Big Eye function is
rock solid. This is an extremely
important part of your profit
foundation. It’s the way all poppers
will be made in years to come! And,
you got it first here at Gold Medal!
That’s why more people are
switching to Gold Medal.
