this is ours a fully working and operational candle facility we start with the big trucks who bring BRICKS of wax there is 6 bricks in 2lbs to a chopping center in 1 room where the bricks are chopped into small cubed and loaded onto a dump truck from there the dump truck takes the materiel down the hall to another room and transfers at a transfer station to train the train takes the cubed bulk and brings it to the grinder where it becomes wax powder once re loaded on hoppers and gondlas the wax goes from that station to the melting tower where its poured into a pan melted and poured into a mold to dry
another gondla holds aluminum wick holders and we have string ready to go at the melting station so we make our own wicks and lower them down into the molds before pour while drying the wicks and held straight up by a semiphore tower once done the candle has its aluminum foil skirt ripped off thrown away and the candle gets loaded onto flat cars where it rides the train a final time to the transfer station where its loaded onto flatbed truck for wherehousing
now if i lived alone id run track in the hall eliminating the need for truck delivery but yeah that aint happenin.
im still happy though i love being able to produce candles and make the train pay for itself each candle goes to flea market for 5$ each
