1. Ingredients and formula
Linear fragrance means fragrance without bamboo core, commonly known as straight fragrance, grass fragrance and linear fragrance. It is mainly composed of wood powder or carbon powder, sticky powder (elm bark powder or corn starch), essence, pigment (commonly used rose essence, scarlet, light yellow, turquoise, gold powder, etc.) and auxiliary materials (to improve quality or reduce cost, some trace things added by producers, such as Lingguang powder, gold flakes, calcium carbonate, potassium nitrate, etc.
2. Sieve powder
Wood powder, sticky powder and carbon powder in the aroma-making materials sometimes contain impurities such as small wood chips, gravel and iron slag. It is easy to cause impurities on the surface of the incense, which affects the appearance, is easy to break, and even causes fire failure. When the production line is fragrant, it is easy to block the discharge port, damage the mold or cause uneven, deformed and broken discharge. The raw materials are sieved to remove impurities in the powder to ensure the cleanliness of the materials.
3. Stirring
Stirring is very important in the whole aroma making process. You must stir the materials evenly before adding water. It takes less time, but it takes about 2-45 minutes to determine the quality of incense. Put all kinds of raw materials and water into a blender in proportion, and the materials can't contain air, which will break the incense during the extrusion process of making incense. Impurities should be removed before mixing, the proportion should be appropriate, the moisture should be appropriate, and the mixing should be uniform.
4. Production process
This process is completed by the perfumer. Put the stirred material into the material inlet, insert an iron bar into the material cylinder for exhaust before starting the machine, and turn off the air switch after discharging. After the spice is pressed by the hydraulic device, the material is extruded from the die hole, which becomes the required shape. Holes are arranged in rows, with one, two or more rows of holes.
5. Drying and packaging
The molded wet incense on the incense box is grouped and listed in a row, and dried naturally. The sub-process depends on the products made by customers, and the packaging of thread incense, coil incense, bamboo stick incense, grass incense and dragon coil incense is decided by customers.
Precautions for making incense by hand:
1. Put the fragrant mud into the syringe, and try to fill the syringe as much as possible to enhance the density of linear fragrance.
2. When squeezing the incense, the needle cylinder should be about 1CM high from the chopping board, not too short, otherwise it will break easily. As the incense is squeezed out and the hand moves upward, the incense will be laid flat on the chopping board.
3. When cutting incense, it can be slightly longer than the required length, which is convenient for shaping. Observe the thread incense and find out the thread incense with bubbles, so you need to redo it, otherwise it will break easily after drying.
