Wax Equipment Use Cases

The various types of wax listed here are in a variety of products that have many different uses that make life better. Whether your business is creating candles, cosmetics, polishing waxes, or even pharmaceuticals, Coogar Products wax equipment can help streamline the process and increase your business’s efficiency. Below are the most common products made using our equipment.

There are multiple types of candle wax available. The most common waxes used in candle making include Paraffin, palm wax, beeswax and soy wax. Some of these waxes, like Paraffin, are harder, while other waxes, like soy, are softer. The different candle wax types also retain scents differently, so the ideal wax will depend on the type of candle you are making.

Candles are an obvious use case for our wax melting equipment and whether your candle product is using soy or Paraffin, our machines work perfectly to ensure you get an accurate mixture of wax, color, and fragrance for your candles.

Wax used in soap must stay hard and keep from dissolving. Traditionally, soap is a mixture of sodium hydroxide and either coconut oil, palm oil, tallow or lard. Today’s soaps include wax such as Paraffin, beeswax and palm wax in place of tallow or lard.

Our wax melting and mixing equipment improves efficiency to help you grow your soap making business.

There are many types of waxes used in cosmetics, however, Palm wax and Microcrystalline are the most commonly used. Both waxes are fragrant-free and won’t harm or irritate the skin.

Spa waxes aim to exfoliate, soothe and smooth skin. Some also relieve muscle tension. Common waxes used in spa wax are Paraffin and Carnauba. Many spas also have depilatory wax used specifically for body hair removal.

At Coogar Products, our wax melting and pumping equipment can be used with the above types of wax to create various cosmetic products such as lip balms, face masks, creams and lotions, and hair waxing products.

Other Use Cases for Our Wax Melting & Mixing Equipment

No matter your industry or the wax product your business is creating, Coogar Products wax melting and pumping equipment can help increase the efficiency and productivity of your business. Below are additional wax products that our equipment is compatible with.

Wax polish products for vehicles and boats are commonly made using Carnauba was which is long-lasting and water-resistant.

Waxes are key ingredients in medical ointments, lotions, creams, gel capsule medications and suppositories. Carnauba, Beeswax, Paraffin, Candelilla and Microcrystalline Wax are popular choices for these pharmaceutical wax applications.

The most commonly used waxes in leather wax are beeswax and Carnauba wax. Paraffin and other petroleum waxes are still sometimes used. Many leather wax products contain a combination of these different waxes.

Most modern clothing is made from waterproof, synthetic materials. Textile waxes close spaces between the fibers and makes them water-resistant. Most textile waxes are made of Polyethylene wax.

There are a variety of waxes used in packaging, due in large part because of the vast diversity of products that need packaging. Both petroleum-based wax, particularly Paraffin, and natural waxes such as beeswax and Candelilla wax are used in the packaging of food and goods.

There are two different types of casting wax: one is a soft, solid wax that is used in dentistry for molds and patterns of dental appliances to keep them from damaging and irritating the soft tissue inside the mouth (dental wax) and another wax made from a blending of various waxes that can be carved or shaped and then overlaid with metal, usually for making jewelry and small sculptures (metal molding). The former is usually made from paraffin wax while the latter traditionally used beeswax.

This special type of wax protects cheese from mold growth and excessive moisture. Cheese wax is often red in color and is made from a combination of paraffin and microcrystalline waxes.

These varieties of waxes help preserve food and plants as well as give them a pleasant, shiny exterior. Candelilla and Carnauba waxes are the most commonly used as they have been rated as being safe for human consumption.

My immediate priority was to start modernising the factory and implement lean processes. Things started to turn around but I couldn’t get past the primary production method of pouring by buckets and jugs. Although our candles have to be hand poured I remained convinced there had to be some equipment to assist in this. My research first lead me to another US based company. I bought and trialled some of their equipment. To give you an indication of how well it worked, I threw the last of it out only last week after it has sat in the corner of the building for the last two years. Then about 18 months ago I discovered the Coogar website. I contacted Scott & Justin, they were very passionate people and seemed very committed to their product. After being burnt a few months before I was hesitant but after I watched the video of a pumper in action I decided to take a chance. I purchased my first pumper. When it arrived, Scott and I hooked up on Skype and he taught me how to use it in less than an hour.

The next day I put it to work on container line 1. As they say the rest is history…….. I had 12 people working on that line. Within 10 minutes I realised I had 8 people standing around doing nothing and I had to move them to another section. At the end of the day that particular line had produced just under 4000 container candles with only 4 people. Our previous record was 2100 with 12 people. I was also acutely aware that the area was clean. There was no wax on the floor. I tried to calculate the waste and it was to small to measure. Since then I have purchased another 5 machines making 6 in total. I use the in pillar making, containers, and votives. I intend to purchase another 4 -5 machines over the next couple of years. Although my implementation program is not complete, I have seen my waste drop from 17% to under 3%. When the implementation is complete I expect this figure to be negligible. Productivity is up dramatically and power consumption is significantly down. I could go on forever about these differences the machines make to our production methods and work flow but suffice to say we no longer lose money. In fact in the last 18 months I have reduced prices to the retail arm twice. Once by 10% and again by a further 15%. They are knocking on the door wanting another reduction this year and I believe I will be able to accommodate them.

I hope that helps.

Kind Regards

Ps.. You will be interested to know that I completed some calculations for the Boss today. It clearly showed that the turnaround time for a candle from start to finish (including palletising) has dropped from an average of 3 minutes plus in 2010 to 1.1 minutes in 2013. That is a 66% reduction in processing time. Not bad with only 6 machines. He did ask me what I needed to drop the time further. I told him three additional Coogars plus a wicking machine ☺
