Charcoal machine is a kind of equipment that produces charcoal by using agricultural and forestry residues (such as sawdust, rice husk, bamboo shavings, twigs, leaves, coffee shells, coconut shells, corn cobs, bagasse, cotton stalks, etc.) as raw materials, and through the process of mechanical extrusion molding and desmoking carbonization. The following is the detailed introduction about charcoal machine:
Charcoal machine working principle:
Firstly, the collected raw materials are crushed into granules within 5mm by pulverizer to meet the subsequent processing requirements.
Then the crushed particles are dried by the dryer, so that the moisture content of the material is within 15%. This is because the moisture content of the raw material is very important for the molding and quality of charcoal, too high or too low is not conducive to the formation of charcoal.
The raw materials with suitable dryness are transported to the rod making machine, and then molded by high temperature and high pressure (without adding any additives in the process) to form the fuel rods.
Finally, the fuel rods are put into the carbonization furnace for carbonization treatment, and after cooling, the finished charcoal will be obtained.
Main equipment composition:
Pulverizer: It is used to pulverize the raw materials into suitable particle size to prepare for the subsequent processing. Different raw materials may require different types of pulverizers, such as wood pulverizer, straw pulverizer, etc.
Dryer: Its function is to remove the moisture in the raw material to ensure that the moisture content of the raw material meets the requirements of rod making. The types of dryers include drum dryer, air dryer, etc. They are characterized by automatic discharging, high drying efficiency, and no flushing of materials from the exhaust port.
Rod making machine: also known as wood powder molding machine, is the main molding equipment for producing mechanism charcoal. It can extrude the treated raw materials into rods, and the products can be divided into wood chip rod making machine, rice husk rod making machine, sawdust rod making machine and so on.
Carbonization Furnace: It is used to carbonize the fuel rods produced by the rod making machine to make them become the final charcoal products. There are types of charcoal furnace such as earth kiln, new type of charcoal furnace, etc. New type of charcoal furnace has the advantages of fast charring speed, good charring effect, energy saving and environmental protection.
Advantages:
Environmental protection: the production process does not produce waste residue, waste liquid, waste gas and other pollutants, friendly to the environment.
Wide range of raw materials: it can use all kinds of agricultural and forestry wastes as raw materials, realizing the utilization of waste and reducing the waste of resources.
Good product quality: the charcoal produced has high density, small volume and good combustibility, which can replace firewood and coal burning, and is suitable for civil and industrial use in various fields.
High economic benefits: relatively small investment in equipment, high production efficiency, can bring considerable economic benefits for users.
Application Scenario:
Civil field: it can be used for heating and barbecue in people’s daily life. For example, in winter, charcoal can be used as fuel for home heating; in outdoor barbecue, charcoal is a commonly used fuel.
Industrial field: It can be used in steel mills and other industrial enterprises to play the role of slow cooling in the production process. In addition, charcoal can be used to manufacture chemical products such as activated carbon and carbon black.
