Sharon in KY Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I saw this when it first showed on American Made?. Wonder what the up side is to pressing pellets instead of pouring wax for votives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pam W Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I saw this when it first showed on American Made?. Wonder what the up side is to pressing pellets instead of pouring wax for votives?The pressing process saves time - if liquid were poured, the candles would have to cool for hours.

EricofAZ Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Thanks for that, glad to see the mailman from Cheers is keeping busy. After hearing the story, you kinda want to appreciate what these folks have done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classiccandle Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I agree with Eric. Regardless of what one might think of Yankee Candles you have to give them credit for expanding the idea of home fragrance. Mike Kittredge went through the same trials and hardships many of us go through to try and get our business up and running. The company isn't the same now but I still appreciate what he's done.

Candybee Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 That was interesting to watch. I love the machine that makes the wax pellets but I think I will stick to pouring votives. I also loved their taper dipping system and vat. You can do a lot of tapers in that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

classiccandle Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Ya gotta love capitalism! You can buy the episode at Amazon for $1.99 or the entire Season 2 for $24.99. They probably don't like people seeing it for free. Here's the link if you're interested.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0029IOESA/ref=pd_vodsm_B00269PENGBy the way, I'm not affiliated with this in any way. I will make nothing if you choose to purchase it. I just wanted to make it available to those who might be interested in watching it. To be honest there isn't much there that you're going to use in your business but it's interesting to know a little bit about the process the big boys use.

CareBear Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Pressing PelletsMight be a Patent Yankee Process Nope, not limited to Yankee. Pam is right - it's a processing thing. It's cheaper to mfg that way.I wish I could have seen the video - now I'm off too google it and see if I can find it elsewhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 (edited) this shows pressing a candle - very brief part of the video. Edited June 14, 2011 by CareBear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
