Especially in the tropical areas (Southeast Asia, etc.) can be found everywhere coconut shell. The cost is low. Can easily turn waste into treasure. Achieve resourceful recycling. From carbonisation to briquette moulding of coconut shell. Natural drying 4-7 days or drying machine drying. It can be made into barbecue fuel, boiler energy, thus realizing both environmental protection and economic benefits.

Overview of Coconut Shell Charcoal

Coconut shell charcoal is becoming increasingly popular. Derived from renewable resources. It reduces deforestation. And it has low ash residue after combustion.

Coconut shell charcoal making process

Selection of carbonisation furnace

Carbonisation is an important part of the conversion of coconut shell into coconut shell charcoal. Coconut shells can be directly carbonised using a continuous carbonisation furnace. Thus making charcoal. We offer a wide range of carbonisation furnaces. It can meet the demand of different scales of charcoal production. If it is a small charcoal processing plant. Hanging carbonisation furnace is a very economical choice. For a large charcoal plant, it is more suitable to choose a continuous drum carbonisation furnace.

Subsequent Processing of Coconut Shell Charcoal

Crushing and Mixing Binder: After carbonisation of the coconut shell, the shell material can be crushed into pieces. Thus, further charcoal is made. These fragments can also be ground into powder. The fineness of charcoal powder makes more easier to mould. Thus reducing the wear and tear of the equipment. Increase the service life.

Mixing charcoal powder with water: as charcoal powder has no bonding. Therefore, it is necessary to add a proper binder to help it form charcoal briquettes. Common food binders are: corn starch, tapioca starch. It can help the firmness of charcoal. It can also enhance the smoothness of the surface. The proportion of binder is usually controlled at 3%-5%. The moisture of the mixed charcoal should be controlled at 20%-30%.

Briquetting and Drying of Coconut Shell Charcoal

Treated Coconut Shell Charcoal. We can provide many different models of charcoal briquetting machines according to different customers' requirements. We can meet the demand of customers for different shapes and sizes of charcoal.

Charcoal briquettes are made by a briquetting machine. In order to ensure its fuel safety and finished product quality. Drying treatment is particularly important. Common drying methods are: natural drying and dryer drying.
