How the heating element of the Mini Portable Household Cotton Candy Maker works?

Construction of the heating element
The heating element of the Mini Portable Household Cotton Candy Maker usually consists of a heating wire and a heating plate. The heating wire is a high-resistance metal conductor. When an electric current passes through it, it generates heat due to resistance, thereby heating the surrounding air and sugar. The heating plate is responsible for evenly distributing the heat to the sugar tank to ensure that the sugar can melt quickly.

Heating wire: The material of the heating wire is generally nickel-chromium alloy, which has good conductivity and high temperature resistance. The design of the heating wire is usually around the heating plate to maximize the use of the generated heat.

Heating plate: The heating plate is an important part of the heating element. It is generally made of aluminum or stainless steel. These materials can not only withstand high temperatures, but also effectively conduct heat. The shape of the heating plate is usually round to form a rotating airflow.

Working Principle
The working principle of the heating element of the Mini Portable Household Cotton Candy Maker can be divided into several steps:

Power on: When the device is plugged into the power supply and the switch is turned on, the current flows through the heating wire, and the heating wire begins to heat up.

Heat conduction: The heat generated by the heating wire is transferred to the sugar tank through the heating plate, quickly heating the sugar into a melted state. Usually, the melting point of sugar is around 160°C, so the heating element needs to reach this temperature quickly to ensure that the sugar can be effectively melted.

Melting and rotation of sugar: Once the sugar is melted, the rotating mechanism of the machine starts. The motor drives the rotating head to rotate rapidly, using centrifugal force to pull out the melted sugar to form filaments. The key to this process is the combination of temperature and rotation speed to ensure that the sugar filaments can be formed evenly and delicately.

Marshmallow formation: The melted sugar filaments gather with the movement of the rotating head and gradually form fluffy marshmallows. Users can easily collect these filaments by moving the paper cone to form delicious marshmallows.

Advantages and safety
The design of the heating element not only makes the marshmallow making process efficient, but also takes safety into consideration. Here are some advantages and considerations:

Fast heating: The efficient heating element can reach the temperature required for making marshmallows in just a few minutes, allowing users to enjoy the delicious taste quickly.

Stability: Good material selection and design ensure that the heating element remains stable under long-term use, avoiding the risk of overheating or damage.

Safety protection: Most Mini Portable Household Cotton Candy Makers are equipped with an overheating protection device to ensure that the power supply is automatically cut off when the temperature of the device is too high to avoid accidents.

Easy to clean: The material of the heating element is generally easy to clean. Users can easily clean it with a damp cloth after the device cools down to ensure hygiene when it is used next time.
