Viscosity at operating temperature
What Viscosity Means on This Page
Candle production still comes down to wax viscosity at pour temperature - library pages explain materials; equipment pages size the heated path.
What It Is
How thick the batch is at the temperature you actually melt, hold, transfer or fill, not room temperature on the bench.
Why Heat Matters
Heat lowers viscosity so product moves through a heated pump, hose and fill head without setting in the line.
What We Size
Tank family, pump, heated hose and head around viscosity at operating temperature, plus elevation and hose length.
Fill Condition: keep temperature and viscosity at the dispense pointHigh-viscosity pump options on EZ-1, AutoShot, Quattro and Octo
