CHAMBER CLOGGING CAUSED BY IMPROPERLY CHOSEN
PARAMETERS IS NOT A WARRANTY CASE!
If popping time is set on the maximum and most of the corn batch can’t pop and
fly out in time, it is recommended to increase the temperature set point, for not
less than 10°C.

SPEED
The Vortex patented technology is based on air convection inside the machine.
Airflow intensity is being changed during operation accordingly to the
operational algorithm. Airflow is being generated by the main turbine that is
being controlled by VFD unit (voltage frequency driver).
If the speed is too low, the mass of corn won’t be moved in the chamber; that
will cause chamber clogging, and popcorn smoldering. If the speed is too high,
percentage of scrap will be increased, since some kernels will be blown out of
the chamber before they pop.
To change the reference speed of the turbine, do the following.
HIGH VOLTAGE INSIDE! ONLY QUALIFIED AND TRAINED
PERSONNEL ARE ALLOWED TO DO THE FOLLOWING
OPERATIONS!
1. Open the electric compartment that is under the
sifter.
2. Press START button to turn the machine on.
3. Check if the value on the VFD display starts
with F. If not, press MODE button few times, until
you see reading starting with F.
4. Use ‘up’ and ‘down’ arrow keys on VFD unit to
change the reference speed.
5. Close the compartment.
F VALUE MUST BE WITHIN 30.00 TO 40.00!
2.5. Testing mode
It is possible to check certain components of the machine in testing mode.
