Components Composition of Charcoal Making Equipment

The machine consists of several parts. They play an important role in the charcoal production process. Beston’s machine is designed to produce charcoal efficiently.

Belt conveyor

Transport biomass raw materials to the main reaction furnace.

Reactor

The reactor rotates under the operation of the driving device. The raw materials absorb heat in the reactor. After reaching a certain temperature, it begins to produce charcoal and combustible gas.

Discharge system

Its function is to discharge the charcoal produced in the reactor. It adopts a water cooling system. Therefore, the temperature of the discharged charcoal is lower.

Combustible gas recovery system

It provides preliminary cooling of combustible gases. After condensation, the system precipitates tar and wood vinegar. The purified combustible gas continues to provide heat source for the machine.

Exhaust gas dust removal system

It removes dust, particles and harmful gases generated during the charcoal making process. This keeps the production environment clean. In addition, emissions meet standards.

Additional Component

Crusher

The crusher is used to break down larger pieces of biomass feedstock into smaller particles before entering the reaction furnace. This helps improve the efficiency of the charcoal making process.

Dryer

A dryer is used to reduce the moisture content in the biomass feedstock before the reaction begins. Lower moisture levels enhance the efficiency of the carbonization process and reduce energy consumption.

Charcoal Briquette Machine

The charcoal briquette machine is responsible for shaping the charcoal into specific forms, such as briquettes, depending on the intended use. This step is essential for producing uniform and market-ready products.

How to Produce Charcoal: Workflow of Charcoal Machine

Raw Material Pretreatment

First, the raw materials need to be preprocessed, including drying and crushing. Drying is to reduce the moisture content in the raw materials to improve the carbonization efficiency. The raw materials are then crushed into smaller particles or chunks for subsequent processing.

Biomass Carbonization

The pretreated raw materials are fed into the main furnace through a belt conveyor. In this process, the raw materials undergo a reaction in a carbonization furnace in a high-temperature and oxygen-deficient environment. At this time, the reaction temperature in the furnace reaches 450-600°C.

Combustible Gas Recovery

During the biomass carbonization process, the flue gas generated contains combustible gases. A flue gas cleaning system is used to remove contaminants from it, and then the combustible gases are collected and used as a heat source to heat the main furnace.

Charcoal Collection

After the reaction is completed, the biomass charcoal is collected. The machine adopts three water-cooled slag discharging systems. This ensures the charcoal cools down quickly enough. Besides, this process helps reduce dust and particulate emissions in the exhaust.
