Wicks Unlimited manufactures and supplies metal candle sustainers with the option of puncture crimping. This top-selling sustainer enables candle manufacturers to create tabbed wicks from waxed wick on reels that consume all the fuel (wax) at the candle’s end of life. High-speed automated machinery creates a small piercing in the sustainer’s wall to generate additional fuel (wax) flow, allowing the candle to consume all the fuel (wax) at the candle’s end of life. Metal candle sustainers with puncture crimping are manufactured from the highest quality tin-coated steel. The thick tin coating inhibits corrosion often caused by the fragrance, dyes, and essential oils common in candles sold
sustainers with non-puncture crimp and self-centering sustainers are the other assembly options available. Our guide to non-puncture versus puncture crimping covers when each is appropriate. See all metal wick sustainers for base sizes and neck lengths.
