HENDI Black Popcorn Maker for Professional Kitchens

A popcorn maker heats a sealed kettle with an electric element while a built-in paddle stirs the kernels. The heat turns moisture inside each kernel to steam; pressure builds until the hull ruptures, flipping the starch into a light, crisp flake. The stirring keeps the kernels from scorching and spreads the heat evenly, so every batch pops consistently.

Load the kettle with corn through the hinged tempered-glass doors. Set the cycle—approximately two minutes—and start the machine. The illuminated chamber lets you watch the kernels expand and turn golden. Once the cycle ends, open the convenient popcorn-removal hatch to dispense the batch into serving containers. A heated base under the chamber keeps the popcorn warm while the next batch cooks. Unpopped kernels and crumbs fall into a removable drawer beneath the chamber for quick disposal.

The frame is made of aluminium alloy for strength and light weight. The body combines powder-coated steel with tempered glass, giving a clear view of the product while protecting the operator from the hot kettle. Handles on the lid are heat-resistant and non-conductive, so they stay cool to the touch. A 1.5 kW element delivers the heat needed for continuous production, and the 230 V supply matches standard UK commercial circuits.

The 574 mm width, 420 mm depth and 778 mm height fit on most worktops or mobile trolleys. A weight of 23 kg allows one person to move the unit when needed. Each two-minute cycle produces up to 150 g of popcorn, so the machine can keep pace with steady demand without overheating.

Cleaning is straightforward: remove the crumb drawer, empty it and wipe the tempered-glass chamber with a damp cloth. The powder-coated steel and aluminium surfaces resist stains and can be cleaned with standard kitchen sanitiser.

The catalogue places this model in the snack and concession equipment section, alongside other counter-top units for high-volume popcorn service.
