FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How much will my cotton candy machine produce?
Cotton candy is unique in that production is based largely on operator skill. You may be able to
produce anywhere from 100-200 cotton candy cones per hour, based on practice.
How much spun sugar will I use?
One cone will hold approximately 1 oz. of spun cotton candy sugar – cones will likely not hold
more than that. One 18-inch plastic bag will hold 2 oz. of spun cotton candy sugar, or two
cones. Based on the amount of total cones you can realistically produce, you should then be
able to bag anywhere from 50-100 bags per hour, again depending on your skill.
How many cones will a case of floss sugar produce?
Pre-made floss sugar comes in a case of six 3-1/4 lb. containers. Each container will yield 50-
60 cones of spun cotton candy; each case will then yield 300-360 cones.
What’s the best way to keep my cotton candy machine clean?
Paragon’s cotton candy machines are the easiest to clean on the market today. Before
attempting any cleaning, be sure the machine has cooled down. You may accelerate this
process by running the motor without the heat on, which will operate the spinner head without
the heat element. After it has cooled, unplug the equipment. Next, use a small vacuum to
remove any remaining sugar loose in the bowl. Remove the spinner cap by the four thumb
screws and use the vacuum to clean out any remaining sugar. (Note: Cap may be covered in
hardened sugar. If so, just tap around the perimeter with pliers or other tool to break loose.)
Now you may remove the screen with a small pair of pliers. Place both spinner cap and screen
in warm water to soak and clean. Then clean the exposed floss head and heat element with a
small brush or soft, damp towel. After all parts have been allowed to dry, simply reassemble for
next production.
