In many rural areas of the country. Many families have not yet installed heating equipment. This demand has given rise to a huge market opportunity - charcoal making and processing. Charcoal processing mainly lies in the low cost of raw materials. For example: corn, straw, soybeans, wheat, and other crop stalks. As well as wood, logs, sawdust, rice husk, coconut shells, bamboo, etc. can be used as raw materials for charcoal processing.
Raw material cost:
Hardwood (oak, logs) is the most common raw material. The market price is: 100-150 USD per tonne. Fruitwood or bamboo costs slightly less. About: 60-110 USD per tonne. Of course, if the raw material is: rice husk, coconut shell, straw and other wastes as there are raw materials. The price will be even lower.
Production Cost:
Charcoal Making Machine Energy Consumption: electricity cost about: 20-30 USD/tonne.
Labour cost: Each tonne needs operating cost is: 2-3 hours. Hourly wage per worker: 5-10 USD/hour. Total: 15-30 USD/tonne.
Depreciation of equipment: According to the annual production capacity: 1000 tonnes. Shared cost is about: 7 USD/tonne.
Transportation and Packaging:
Short haulage (≤50km) costs about US$10-15/tonne, long haulage up to US$20-30/tonne.
Packaging is mostly done in woven bags or cardboard boxes at a cost of about: 3-5 USD/tonne.
Mechanism charcoal:
Raw material is sawdust or straw. Lower cost. About 50-80 USD/tonne. Pressing and moulding equipment is also needed.
Total cost is about: 80-100 USD/tonne. The charcoal produced has a high density and burns for a longer period of time.
Fruit wood charcoal:
The raw materials are date wood, fruit wood, etc. Lower cost. About 100-120 USD/tonne. The processing cost is similar to hardwood charcoal.
Fruit wood charcoal has better finished product and unique flavour, suitable for barbecue industry. High calorific value and long burning time. And the retail price can be up to US$400-700/tonne.
Bamboo charcoal:
The cost of raw material is about: 60-70 USD/tonne. Its carbonisation temperature is high. Energy consumption needs to be increased by 20%. The total cost is about US$130-150 per tonne.
To sum up: the cost of charcoal processing is significantly affected by the type of raw material, processing technology, regional differences and so on. Choose the right type according to different industry uses.
Sawdust briquette machine utilises raw materials such as sawdust, crops, straw, bagasse and so on. After crushing, the raw materials are processed into hollow bar body in high temperature and high pressure area.
Charcoal Briquette Extruder Machine is also called coal stick extruder. Adopting the principle of spiral extrusion. It is a coal bar moulding equipment that compresses the modulated coal powder into a prefabricated shape with a certain strength.
Bamboo chips are the main raw material. After drying in the drying machine, the material is dry and wet properly. After cooling, the material passes through the bamboo charcoal machine. After high temperature, high pressure and plasticisation.
Continuous carbonisation furnace is a new type of charcoal production equipment. He can be used to produce large-scale rice husk charcoal, sawdust charcoal, coconut shell charcoal, nut shells and so on. Through the oxygen-free carbonisation and dry distil
Horizontal Carbonisation Furnace Also known as charcoal making machine. It can carbonise all kinds of raw materials. The equipment adopts new high temperature dry distillation pyrolysis carbonisation technology.
Vertical lifting carbonisation furnace is using advanced airflow carbonisation. It can produce all kinds of biomass charcoal. The carbonisation furnace has convenient operation, environmental protection and energy saving, high production efficiency...
Sawdust dryer refers to put the powder granular wet sawdust. After high temperature hot airflow conveying and dispersing. So that the moisture in the material is evaporated.
The air flow dryer is widely used for drying powder-like material. The humidity can be controlled at 10-16%. It is a kind of high efficient, continuous and fast solid fluidised drying method.
