Budget Idea

Dipping candles is based on a simple, repetitive motion that characterises dipping. During this process, candles are built up layer by layer until they become high-quality final products. There are also various other decoration techniques which give the candles a special look and clearly distinguish them from 'normal' factory candles.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to put together a simple candle dipping starter pack because safety measures prevent this. This is, however, possible when moulding candles. Each option can be supplemented with a lift which is currently mechanic but will soon be available in an electric model. Maintenance contracts are also available. Our most comprehensive equipment package, the combicomplete, has not been included in these options because we customise such a system especially for you.Unfortunately, it is not possible to put together a simple candle dipping starter pack because safety measures prevent this.
