Abstract
The invention relates to a method for producing candles comprised of a starting material that contains, at least in part, fats and/or oils. Optional additives such as colorants are admixed to the starting material, and the starting material, in a liquid phase, is sprayed onto a cooling medium (10) whereby being transformed into a solid phase and, during a pressing process, is subsequently pressed to form a pressed article and is optionally milled. According to the invention, the starting material solely contains oils and/or fats that are hardened and, on the cooling medium (10), are transformed into an essentially homogenous, crystalline, preferably granular crystalline structure.
Claims22
A method for producing candles, comprising:
- providing a liquid phase starting material which is selected from the group consisting of vegetable oils, vegetable fats, animal oils, animal fats, and mixtures thereof, the liquid phase starting material being paraffin-free and stearine-free and having an iodine number in the range of from approximately <1 to approximately <10;
- spraying the starting material in liquid phase onto a cooling medium or into a spray tower to convert the starting material into a granulate solid phase which is essentially homogeneous and crystalline;
- and
- pressing said granulate solid phase into a compacted form.
