C. Cretors and Co., a designer and manufacturer of food processing and concession equipment for over 120 years, offers the Diplomat, its large concession series of 32-ounce, suspended kettle popcorn machines. These high volume machines feature an innovative lift-up kettle cover design that maximizes corn expansion. Also, the kettle's exclusive design maximizes the use of raw materials by providing more usable corn than competitive machines.

Cretors' high volume 32-ounce suspended kettle popcorn machines utilize stainless steel or nickel-plated all steel kettles that resist corrosion and are extremely easy to clean. The machine's direct-drive kettle agitator also protects long-term investments, prolonging motor life and featuring no gears to ever need replacing. These innovative suspended kettle machines use technological advances to deliver the highest quality popcorn, in terms of texture, taste and visual appeal. Cretors' exclusive hot air "Cornditioner" actually forces hot air through the popcorn to keep it dry and crisp. In addition, a single thermostat accurately controls kettle temperature for optimum popping. The kettle popper is equipped for an automatic oil pump, two-stage charcoal exhaust system, with an optional disposable filter system available.

Other optional controls include: a salt/sweet switch for producing either salted or sweet corn; a One-Pop button that automates the popping cycle; and a One-Pop with POPometer that automates and records the number of popping cycles. Cretors' suspended kettle popcorn machines are available in a wide range of sizes (20- to 60-ounce) dimensions (3 feet to 6 feet) and configurations to exactly meet user requirements.
