Despite the obvious improvement in
electricity supply recently, candle production business has not been affected
greatly. This is because candle is not just used for illumination; it is also
used as an article of prayer and for decorations. Candle production business is
a very easy business and can be started on a small scale. You don’t need to
build a factory for a start, your backyard is just enough, and with a very
little start-up capital, you are on the go. There is no doubt that there is
great business opportunity in candle production and distribution and that’s why
I have decided to show you the step by step method of candle production. You don’t
need to pay for any seminar to learn it because it is very simple. Let’s get
started right away.
RAW MATERIALS NEEDED FOR CANDLE
PRODUCTION
There are only three basic raw
materials needed for candle production, they include;
Candle Wax: this is the chief
component of candle production. Candle wax are sold in large pellets wi
|
Thread (wick): this is the thread
like component of the candle which enables it to be lit.
MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT NEEDED
Candle Mould,
Mixer (manual or
electric)
Burner,
Hand Gloves,
Stainless or Galvanized container for melting the wax
Table and
Packaging Materials.
For small scale
production, the only important component among all the above listed equipment
is the candle mould. The candle mould is the major equipment for candle
production and cannot be done without. An average candle mould sells for
between N35,000 and N40,000. The price is expected to fall over
the next few years. For those of you who have never seen a candle mould before,
the picture below is a typical standard candle mould for large scale production. The much
simpler and locally made ones for small scale production are also available in the market.
METHOD OF PRODUCTION
PRODUCTION
Step1: chop the
candle wax into smaller pieces and pour it into the stainless steel or galvanized
container.
Step2: place the container on the burner and allow
the candle wax to melt, then add stearic
acid and mix properly.
Step3: arrange the
candle thread (wick) properly in the mould
Step4: pour the melted wax into the candle mould and
allow the candle wax to solidify.
Step5: pour cold
water to circulate round the bars of the mould to allow for fast
solidification, and then allow the water to drain out through the outlet.
Step6: to remove the
candles produced, pour hot water to circulate round the bars of the mould so
that the candles can now be easily removed and packaged.
