Can You Make Charcoal From Sawdust?

Sawdust Making Charcoal Process:

 

If the raw material as long as the sawdust, no large pieces of waste can be directly carbonised . If there are more chunks of material in the waste. It is necessary to use the crusher first. The different sizes of wood waste will be crushed into sawdust. Secondly, it also depends on the size of the moisture content in the sawdust. If it is a processing plant for processing wood, the sawdust usually has little moisture. It can be directly carbonised using a continuous carbonisation furnace. If it is some board processing plant, the sawdust produced by the processing of wet logs. The moisture content is relatively large. We need to dry the sawdust before carbonisation or use the drying oven to dry.

 

After drying, the sawdust is then sent to the carbonisation furnace through the conveyor. It takes about half an hour from feeding to the completion of charcoal powder carbonisation. After carbonisation, the sawdust is discharged from the discharge port. The Continuous Carboniser is a continuous operation. Feeding and discharging take place at the same time. Charcoal discharge and feeding can be realised without stopping. The material is then cooled to about 50°C by a cooling machine. After cooling, the material is mixed with the binder through the wheel mill. The material then passes through the charcoal briquette machine to be made into briquettes. The charcoal briquettes are finally dried naturally or in a drying box. Finished products can be packaged.

 

 

The charcoal produced from sawdust has the advantageous features of high density, easy to ignite, high calorific value, no smoke and no smell, long burning time and so on. It can be sold at a very good price in the market.
