Paragon Popcorn Poppers


Paragon offers a broad product line of popcorn machines, ranging in size from 4oz machines to large, 20 oz machines. The popcorn machine or “popper” heats the kernel making it explode, or “pop.” Each kernel consists of water and starch that is concealed inside of the hull so that when the kernel heats up, the water expands and pressure builds up within the hull. The pressure creates a “pop” as the hull gives way to inflated starch that turns the kernel inside out. Popcorn poppers allow the escape of steam during the popping cycle. This prevents the popcorn from becoming soggy. Popcorn machines are categorized by the amount of popcorn popped during one cycle. Each cycle lasts roughly 3 minutes. For custom or private labeling, please reach out to us!
