Production Methods
There are different possibilities to produce candles: Eika uses both traditional handwork and impressive modern techniques. Depending on the the kind of candles to be manufactured, the right production method has to be chosen.
1. Drawing
The drawing method is one of the oldest techniques to manufacture candles. Several hundred metres of wick are stretched over two pulling drums, whereas the lower wick line runs through a wax bath. The more often the chilled wick is pulled through the wax, the stronger the string gets, which is then automatically processed fully to a finished candle. With this method christmas tree candles, for example, are produced.
