How Commercial Candy Floss Machines Work
Ever wondered how these magical machines create those fluffy clouds of sweetness? It starts with a spinning metal head that heats up to about 190°C. When you pour sugar into the centre, centrifugal force sends it flying outward through tiny holes. The intense heat instantly melts the sugar, which then solidifies into super-fine threads as it hits the cooler air. These threads collect on the sides of the bowl, where you can gather them with a stick or cone. All this happens in seconds—transforming ordinary granulated sugar into that iconic fairground treat that's delighted British crowds for generations!

Top Tips for Using Commercial Candy Floss Machines
For consistently perfect candy floss, always let your machine warm up fully before adding sugar—about 1-2 minutes does the trick. Use the manufacturer's recommended sugar type (typically fine granulated) for the best results, and consider having speciality coloured and flavoured sugars on hand for variety. Clean the machine thoroughly after each event, particularly the heating element and bowl, to prevent sugar build-up that could affect performance. And keep spare parts like belts and brushes in your kit—they're lifesavers at busy events!
