Splints Insertion
The insertion of match splints is carried out by a system of combs and grooved plates. The splints are inserted into the perforated bars called splint bars and it comprises a plate mat that serves as the carrier of the splints in the processes of waxing, dipping, and drying.
Paraffining
Splints are preheated and dipped in the molten paraffin wax.
Dipping
After paraffining, splints are carried by the splint bars to the dipping device where the head composition of the match stick is applied. The splints are dipped in a composition container which is a round tray. The dipping tray is steam heated to keep the composition at a favorable temperature.
Drying
After dipping, the splints carried by the splint bars will travel in horizontal loops through the drying unit, which dries the match head by fanning hot air from the steam heated radiators..
