Hercules Model

The Hercules is one of the more interesting Manley popcorn machine models.  Obviously it was designed for large venues that needed a large popcorn popper.  It is similar to the Twin Model (see M-Line page) in terms of size and popcorn production.  Both the Hercules and Twin popcorn are basically the size of two machine.  The Twin popcorn machine actually used two separate kettles, while the Hercules used only one large popcorn kettle. The other major difference between these two machines is that the Twin model used the M-Line cabinet, while the Hercules uses Manley's model 32 Aristocrat cabinet.
