How to Make Charcoal in Kenya?
So do you know how to make charcoal in Kenya? The answer may surprise you! Charcoal can be made in Kenya from just waste biomass, sludge or other solid waste! These materials are placed in charcoal making machine in Kenya, where in the absence of low oxygen conditions, the materials are heated and cause molecular decomposition, resulting in solid charcoal, tar and liquid wood vinegar. Next, I will introduce you to the basic steps of starting a charcoal business in Kenya.

Beston Offers Full Services For Kenyan Customers
Dryer in Kenya
Charcoal production in Kenya has moisture requirements for raw materials. If the moisture content of the raw material is high, it will affect the quality of the charcoal. If your raw material contains more than 15% moisture, please contact Beston to equip you with a dryer. Each dryer can reduce the moisture by 30% (2 dryers are required when the moisture content of the material is greater than 45%). If you don’t know how to test the moisture in the raw materials, you can send the raw materials to Beston and get accurate test results.
Crusher in Kenya
We know that the smaller the size of the raw material, the smaller the voids during carbonization, and the smaller the oxygen intake. Since the carbonization process is carried out in the absence of oxygen, the smaller the size of the raw material, the better the carbonization effect. Please see more details on Beston Linkedin.
Generally, the feed size is about 2 cm. If the raw material you are dealing with is larger than 2 cm, please contact Beston to equip you with a crusher. (The best-known feed size is 8mm rice husk)
