Introduction
Welcome to Lumient, where we pride ourselves in providing high-quality, handmade candles that are not only beautiful but also safe for you and your loved ones. In this article, we will take you through our candle-making process step by step, giving you a behind-the-scenes look at how we create our exceptional products. From the wick insert machine to packaging and shipping, we'll cover every aspect of our operation. So let's dive in and discover what makes Lumient candles so special.
Wick Insert Machine
At the heart of our candle production line is our state-of-the-art wick insert machine. This impressive machine has a capacity of making approximately 1250 candles per hour. The candles move along conveyors as the wicks are automatically inserted, ensuring they are perfectly centered every time. This precision and accuracy are crucial to the overall quality of our candles.
Melting and Fragrance Mixing
Once the wicks have been inserted, the candles move to a staging area before being manually placed on rolling tables. We then use our massive melter, capable of melting around a pallet of wax at a time. The melted wax is poured into a 60-kilogram pot, and fragrance oils are added based on the weight. Our team carefully mixes the wax and fragrance to create the perfect scent for each candle.
Pouring and Wick Centering
With the wax and fragrance mixture ready, our team starts pouring the candles into their respective jars. After pouring, wick centering devices are added on top of the wicks to keep them in the center and ensure an even burn. This meticulous process guarantees that each candle is not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional.
Cooling and Trimming
Once the candles have been poured, they are placed in a designated area to cool down. It is essential to allow sufficient time for the wax to harden before moving on to the next step. Once cooled, the wicks are trimmed to the desired length, ensuring an optimal and consistent burn throughout the candle's lifespan.
Adding Lids
After the wicks have been trimmed, lids are placed on top of the candles. This step not only adds an elegant finishing touch but also helps to preserve the fragrance and prevent dust or debris from settling on the wax.
Packaging and Storage
With the candles fully assembled and ready for shipment, our team meticulously packs them into boxes. Each box holds a dozen candles, providing protection during transportation. These boxes are then stored in our shelves, ensuring proper organization until they are ready to be shipped to customers both locally and internationally.
