The stator prevents operators and objects from coming into contact with the
rapidly rotating impeller.
There is a 16A circuit breaker provided for short circuit protection.
1.7. Machine design and operation principle
The RoboJetFloss includes the following main components: Housing (1);
Chassis (2) with electric motor and Spinning Head (3). The spinning head and
electric motor are mounted on the chassis, which itself is connected to the
housing by four spring-mounted supports. These spring supports dampen
vibrations and allow the motor to self-balance during operation.
Plastic/Aluminum floss pans (18) are not shown.
An electric motor drives the spinning head at a high rate of speed (see
Technical Specifications). A Stator (4) is mounted on the chassis to direct air
flow in an upward spiral. It is fitted with a silicone Sealing Collar (5) which seals
the gap between the floss pan and the stator in order to prevent sugar from
falling onto the chassis. An adjustable Silicone Ring (6) covers the intake grill in
order to regulate air flow.
The Spinning Head has the following main parts: Impeller (7); Base-plate (8);
Sidewall with heating element (9) and Cover (10).
Operating principle
The spinning head rotates with the sugar mix inside where the heating element
warms the sugar up. When the sugar rises above 160°C/320°F, it starts to melt.
Due to centrifugal force, the melted sugar escapes through laser cut slits in the
sidewall, where it instantly cools and crystallizes turning into candy floss.
An attached impeller rotates along with the spinning head, producing a powerful
upward airflow. Air enters from below, through the axial grills of the stator, which
