A few weeks ago Glasser Steel brought a project to me that they needed help with. One customer of their sells kettle corn at events. The method that they have used to date is no longer working for them so the opted to automate the mixing process. After deciding on the design the fabrication went smoothly.
In this image you can see the welding tanks for use in the Wankel Bell.
In this project I also used a gear reduced electric motor and possibly the same model as in the Super Kiln. I attached an electrical box on the opposite side of the bracket for placing the switch and speed controller.
I kept all the "stuff" on the lid so that setup and transport would be easy and the lid could be used on other kettles. The entire lid is made of stainless steel.
The mixing rods are suspended off the bottom of the drum and fit its contour nicely.
This project was quick, fun and its always nice to return the favors.
