Cotton Candy Gold Medal Floss Max Maple

[wiam]

Has anyone purchased the maple specific 3077 machine? And how do you like it? I'm thinking about upgrading from my current small machine.

[jimsudz]

That's all we use at the nys fair,erie county fair, and wyoming county fair. I have never used another model so I can't compare. If you maintain it will run a long time.

Thank you Jim

We purchased one the first of March. Use to rent standard type world of difference produces better quality and faster. Worth the investment.

can you use 100% maple sugar or do you need to cut it with white sugar

[Bruce L]

You have to cut it with white cane sugar at 5:1 ,tried maple sugar alone and it just burned and made a smokey mess.I use my wife's bullet? or similar machine to mix and grind the sugars,then you won't have any crystals of sugar in your floss,and the machine will clean up much easier

I have gone 1:1. It will work on a dry day. Usually I go 2:1. I keep hearing you have to go 5:1. But in my opinion cotton candy does not have much maple flavor if 5:1. I also use darker syrup to make my sugar for cotton candy. More color. More flavor. Much "maple" cotton candy I see looks white.

I'd like to try your Maple Cotton candy Wiam, I have to say most of what I have had has been disappointing at best. It's not something I would want to sell to people.

[jmayerl]

Do you make the candy ahead of time say for a farmers market? When I was little, I worked for my friends parents and they would make it a day or two ahead and we would sell it during parades.

[wiam]

We try to make it the morning of an event at home. Does not settle much for a few days if sealed. I believe it would sell better if you run the machine at point of sale. Electricity is limited were we go. And generators are noisy.

[maple maniac65]

Honda generators seem to be very quiet. I used to run one right next to my booth and all you could here was a low hum. It ran the cc machine quite well.

Hi William we are looking at purchasing floss machine and wondering what the manufacture is for that maple specific 3077 machine. Thanks, Jon

[wiam]

I can't recall. It was in New York. When I called to order the "maple" version the person that answered the phone put the guy that builds maple version on the phone. I was surprised when he talked me out of it. Can't remember his exact reasoning. Sorry, I'm probably not much help.

[wiam]

Brand is Gold Medal. The dealer name is what I am not sure of.

[RIVERWINDS]

The Gold Medal part number for the Super Floss Max is 3077-00-000 and you will need (2) GM# 55441 maple sugar ribbons.

Our dealer gave us the original ribbons that came with the machine if we ever wanted to run normal floss sugar.

[S.S.S]

Has anybody used the regular ribbons? Does the cotton candy not turn out so good. Iam looking at buying machine but not wanting to spend 900$ I can get the maple sugar ribbons for model 3017 which is econo floss, anybody have experience in that unit?

[ridgeman]

How many bags or cones do you get from one pound of sugar?

I bought my Gold Metal 3077M from popcorn supply in Syracuse NY. This a maple cotton Model

[maple maniac65]

I spent about 850.00 15 years ago on the economy floss. No special ribbons have made at least 6000 bags. Never changed a ribbon sugar ratio about 25%. Ran it off from a Honda 2000 suitcase generator. Still use it occasionally

That is who I talked to. He talked me into an x-15a whirlwind. He said big difference on maple ribbons was less unmelted sugar coming out. He told me you have run a lot of sugar through one to pay the difference.

[Maple Man 85]

Does invert sugar have any control on the process when making cotton candy?

[wiam]

I have had some issues making sugar that I attributed to high invert. (Not tested). I think if you can get it into sugar there won't be a problem running it through the floss head.

[jmayerl]

Has anyone used a gold metal "breeze" I have an opportunity to get one for a good price.

[maple maniac65]

What is a good price. Some of the high end machines take alot of electricity to run. In certain situations such as Eastern States zfair. Dedicated electricity in an old building maxed out on the entrance panel. The machines always ran with a handicap. The breeze machines ran and made better cotton candy. The difference between 8 and 18 amps

$300 with stand and bubble, so basically over $1000 if I bought it new. We will be making all cotton candy in house not at the sales location.
