What is the relationship between the capacity of a sugar box (such as 1600 grams) and the frequency of sugar replenishment?

2025,04,28
The relationship between the sugar hopper capacity (e.g., 1,600 grams) and refill frequency in an Electric Cotton Candy Machine depends on two primary factors: production rate and sugar consumption per serving.
 
Hopper Capacity and Refill Intervals
A larger hopper capacity reduces refill frequency. For instance, a 1,600-gram hopper can produce approximately 50–60 standard cotton candies (assuming 25–30 grams of sugar per serving) before requiring a refill. In contrast, smaller hoppers (e.g., 400–800 grams) may need refilling every 20–30 servings.
 
Production Speed and Demand
High-output machines (e.g., producing 6–7 servings per minute) deplete sugar faster. A 1,600-gram hopper operating at 6 servings per minute would last roughly 8–10 minutes under continuous use. For moderate-demand scenarios (e.g., events with intermittent usage), this capacity might sustain 1–2 hours without refills.
 
Operational Efficiency
Machines with automated sugar dispensing or larger storage drawers minimize downtime. Features like sealed components and anti-clogging designs also reduce sugar waste, indirectly extending refill intervals.
 
Environmental Factors
Humidity and temperature affect sugar flow. In humid conditions, sugar may clump, increasing refill frequency due to blockages, even with a large hopper.
 
Conclusion: A 1,600-gram hopper balances efficiency and convenience for moderate to high-volume use, requiring refills every 50–60 servings or 1–2 hours of operation. For continuous commercial use, machines with larger capacities or cart/wheeled designs (e.g., cotton candy machine electric, cotton candy machine on wheels) are preferable to optimize workflow.
