Equipment & Electrical Specifications

Concession machines draw significant electrical wattage. Running high-draw heating elements on shared banquet circuits frequently trips venue breakers:

  • Cotton Candy Spinners: Require 1,080 to 1,500 Watts on a dedicated 15-amp circuit. Never daisy-chain with coffee makers or DJ sound amps.

  • Popcorn Kettles (8 oz to 12 oz): Require 1,400 to 1,800 Watts during preheat cycles.

  • Chocolate Fountains: Require 250 to 450 Watts continuous heating. Ensure fountain sits on a perfectly level surface to maintain smooth chocolate curtain flow.
