How Does an Automatic Popcorn Vending Machine Work?

1. Customer Places an Order
   • The customer selects a popcorn size and flavor on the touchscreen interface and completes payment.
2. Kernel Popping
   • The machine automatically measures and loads kernels and oil into a mini heating chamber.
   • Heating elements rapidly pop the kernels within 2–4 minutes.
3. Flavoring and Dispensing
   • If a flavor is selected, the machine mixes or sprays the seasoning onto the popcorn.
   • The fresh, hot popcorn is then dispensed into a cup, bag, or box, ready for collection.
4. System Reset
   • The chamber is cleared, and the machine resets for the next customer, maintaining hygiene and efficiency.
