The GP Series is a small industrial popcorn machine designed for producing specialty gourmet popcorn in a variety of flavors. It uses LPG heating and a stainless steel stirring shovel; it’s intended for small producers and start-up snack businesses.
According to the manufacturer, it can produce a wide range of flavors including cantaloupe, chocolate, taro, pineapple, strawberry, sweet orange, banana, lemon and blue-mold (blue cheese) styles, plus other custom flavorings using syrups, powders or sugar coatings.
There are three models: GP1 — 1 kg/batch per 5 min (Pot D360 × H330 mm), GP2 — 2 kg/batch per 5 min (Pot D410 × H410 mm), GP3 — 3 kg/batch per 5 min (Pot D520 × H500 mm). All use LPG heating.
Under normal conditions a pot can finish popping in about 3 minutes. The stated production rates are given per 5-minute cycle (1–3 kg per 5 min depending on model).
The GP Series uses liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) as the heat source and requires electrical power for ignition and the stirring motor. Check the product manual or supplier for the required electrical voltage and connection details.
Basic operation: prepare raw materials; connect the machine to a certified LPG tank and the power supply; turn on power and ignition; adjust flame; start the stirrer; pour oil into the preheated pan, add corn (and sugar if required) and set stirring to fastest; cover with the lid; when popping is complete (≈3 minutes) scoop popcorn from the hopper and stir to prevent sticking.
Typical ingredients are popping corn kernels, cooking oil, and sugar or other sweeteners/flavorings. Additional flavor powders, syrups or coatings can be added during or after popping depending on the recipe.
Yes — the GP Series is specifically developed for customers starting popcorn production and is marketed as easy to operate with an attractive appearance suitable for small-scale commercial use.
Use a certified LPG cylinder and regulator, ensure good ventilation, regularly inspect gas hoses and fittings for leaks, keep ignition and burner areas clear, never leave the machine unattended while lit, keep children away, and follow all local gas safety regulations. Turn off gas and power before maintenance.
Allow the machine to cool before cleaning. Remove loose popcorn and coatings, wipe stainless steel surfaces with a soft cloth and mild detergent, clean the stirring shovel and hopper, and avoid spraying water directly on burners or ignition components. Regularly check and tighten gas fittings and inspect the ignition system. Refer to the user manual for detailed maintenance intervals.
Key food-contact and structural parts are stainless steel (including the stirring shovel and pot), which aids cleaning and corrosion resistance. Other components include the LPG burner and electrical ignition/stirring motor.
GP1 dimensions: 1220 × 530 × 950 mm (L×W×H); GP2: 1230 × 530 × 980 mm; GP3: 1750 × 635 × 1020 mm. Check workspace clearance requirements and ventilation when planning installation.
Availability of spare parts and after-sales support varies by supplier. Common replacement parts include lids, stirring shovels, burners, ignition modules and gas hoses. Contact the seller or manufacturer to confirm parts availability and service options.
Certification and warranty details are not provided in this description. Ask the supplier for documentation on certifications (CE, ISO, local safety standards) and the specific warranty terms before purchase.
Yes. Flavoring can be introduced in different ways: add sugar or flavored syrup during popping for caramelized/sweet coatings (as noted in the operating steps), or toss popcorn with flavor powders, glazes or spray-on coatings after popping for dry-flavored varieties. Follow recipe testing to prevent sticking or burning.
