The manufacturing process of incense sticks is very complicated. The production of bamboo stick fragrance requires selecting high-quality bamboo, splitting it into slender bamboo sticks, and then drying them in the sun. The materials used for making incense are finely processed elm bark and sandalwood, combined with pigments and additives. Then, slowly dip the bamboo sticks in fragrant powder. This is the link step in the seemingly simple yet troublesome method of making bamboo stick incense.

Nowadays, there are three common ways to make bamboo stick incense: one is to pass down the traditional craft of making bamboo sticks and the method of pouring incense; Secondly, in terms of craftsmanship, there is the powder mechanical bucket making method; The third is the pressure (hydraulic or pneumatic) machine strike method. Each of the three methods has its own advantages. The first two methods are suitable for manufacturing bamboo sticks with very small diameters, but they require high technical skills from workers. Moreover, the production power is affected by the level of proficiency of the workers. Also, because manual manufacturing can easily lead to errors, the appearance of products can sometimes be rough and oversized. The latter method is fully mechanized, as long as the ingredients are suitable, it can produce evenly lubricated bamboo sticks with both large and fine flavors. But sometimes the mechanical process is constrained by the equipment and can only produce bamboo sticks with larger diameters.
