What are the signs that my candle making machine needs maintenance?

There are several signs that indicate your candle making machine may need maintenance:

Decreased Performance:

If the manual candle machine is taking longer than usual to produce candles or the quality of the candles is deteriorating, such as uneven shapes or inconsistent sizes.

Reduced output or lower production efficiency.

Strange Noises:

Unusual grinding, clicking, or rattling sounds during operation can suggest loose or worn parts.

Overheating:

If the machine feels overly hot to the touch or if there are warning indicators for overheating.

Wax Leaks:

Noticeable wax leaks around the molds, valves, or connections may indicate damaged seals or fittings.

Erratic Temperature Control:

Fluctuations in the temperature settings or inability to maintain the desired temperature for proper wax melting and shaping.

Visible Wear and Tear:

Scratches, dents, or corrosion on the machine's surface or components.

Frequent Breakdowns:

If the candle machine is stopping or malfunctioning more frequently than before.

For instance, if you notice that the candles are coming out with rough edges consistently, it might be a sign that the molds need cleaning or there's an issue with the pouring mechanism that requires attention. Similarly, if you smell something burning and the machine is overheating frequently, it's a clear indication that maintenance is overdue to check the cooling system or electrical components.
