Touchscreen control panel for a commercial popcorn machine, displaying a 75°F temperature, 84% oil level, and 6% corn level. The interface includes icons for home, settings, and cooking options, and shows selected popcorn type: mushroom sweet, large (52 oz), with 17 oz oil.
Commercial stainless steel popcorn machine with a large popping kettle and illuminated "Popcorn" sign. The machine is filled with freshly popped popcorn in the cabinet below and features storage compartments with three front doors.

  1. You don’t have to question what your oil levels are. Located next to the popper controls, this sensor conveniently displays how much oil is left in the Bag-in-Box (BIB) oils. Available on Elite Popper Series only.

  2. How much could an extra set of eyes benefit you? In this case, the Big Eye Electronic Heat Control automatically monitors the temperature, providing you with increased precision and control.

  3. Gold Medal has strength where it counts. Large, powerful drive motors mean you have popper performance you can rely upon.

  4. The secret behind the E-Z Kleen Kettles is the stainless steel cook surface. It’s simple to maintain and the long-lasting performance ensures great-tasting popcorn every time.

  5. It’s like two poppers in one! Pop half batches during non-peak times, then flip the switch to pop twice as much for high demand periods. Your absolute best bet for high-efficiency productivity!

  6. PowerOff Control means operators can rest assured knowing their machine will automatically turn off after 15 minutes of idle time.

  7. Available on larger electronic popper (i.e., Big Eye) kettles, the Salt/Sweet Switch gives you the option to pop sweet popcorn at the proper temperature, preventing sugars from burning.

  8. Operator safety is the top priority of the double-hung, twin-arm kettle suspension. It prevents accidental oil spills and gives more work room within the cabinet.

  9. Get the performance you need with a unified kettle and heat element, working together to provide the lowest energy consumption and maximum popping capacity.
