Cretors Introduces the Revolutionary Mach 5 Popper

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) May 21, 2009 -- C. Cretors and Company, the leading designer and manufacturer of food processing and concession equipment for over 124 years, introduces the new Mach 5 Popper (http://www.cretors.com/). The name "Mach 5" signifies the 5th generation of the machine, originally introduced over 75 years ago, and recognizes that the company is now in the hands of the 5th generation. This new popper is available in 20, 32, 48 and 60 oz. kettle sizes and is well suited for movie theater concessions (http://www.cretors.com/) and other related industries.

Producing fresh, crisp and savory popcorn are a key elements to efficiently run movie theater concessions and Cretors' new Mach 5 was designed to do just this. The popcorn machine (http://www.cretors.com/) comes fully equipped with two heat lamps located inside the cabinet. Also included are two halogen lights permitting users increased visibility and ease-of-use operation. The one-piece kettle design prevents oil leakage that could otherwise seep into the retainer and damage wires and heating elements.

The Mach 5 features a new plastic bin liner and snap on lid maintaining the raw corn's freshness while protecting the food from contamination. The new stainless steel frame replaces an aluminum structure creating a more durable, safe and stable machine. This new, rust-free design also maintains the poppers attractiveness.

Other optional controls include: a salt/sweet switch which allows the user to change between "salted" and "sweet" corn production, and a One-Pop control, that with a single push of a button heats the kettle, pops a batch of corn and turns itself off after one popping cycle. The One Pop is also available with a counter that records the number of popping cycles. The popper cabinet is available with the Elevator option which allows the popper deck to be lowered if extra corn storage is needed after several popping cycles. An integrated pump, stainless steel kettle, automated bag filler and customer programmed LED sign are other options available to customize the popcorn machine.

The exclusive Pop-It-n-Top-It option provides an integrated butter topper that is built directly into the corner of the machine, allowing the concession operator to both fill a bag of popcorn and add topping all in one step.
