Charcoal production technology is the process of transforming wood or other biomass raw materials into charcoal through a series of processing. This process mainly includes: raw material preparation, moulding, carbonisation, cooling, packaging and other production links. Charcoal production adopts advanced production equipment and technology, which has the advantageous features of high production efficiency, good charcoal machine efficiency, environmental protection and energy saving, and good quality of finished products.
Raw material preparation: choosing the right charcoal raw material is the key. Like hardwood can produce high quality charcoal. The wood raw materials are processed through crushing and sorting. Make sure the size and shape of the wood meet the requirements of the carbonisation equipment.
Material moulding: raw materials after selection. Then go through the crusher to be crushed into granule or powder. If the moisture content in the material is too large, it needs to be dried first. The moisture in the material is controlled at 10%-12%. Finally, then use the charcoal briquettes to make charcoal sticks.
Carbonisation process: Carbonisation is the core part of wood production. The wood raw material is heated to a high temperature under the condition of oxygen isolation. Then it undergoes thermal decomposition, volatilisation and other chemical reactions. It is finally transformed into charcoal. The control of carbonisation temperature and time is crucial to the quality and yield of the finished charcoal.
Cooling and Packaging: After carbonisation, the charcoal needs to go through cooling treatment as well as temperature reduction treatment. Thus preventing the charcoal from natural. With the market demand on the screening, grading and packaging. Finally get the finished charcoal.
Charcoal machine equipment plays an important role in charcoal making production line. According to the different functions. Charcoal machine can be divided into several categories such as crushing equipment, carbonisation equipment, material forming, cooling and packaging.
Crushing equipment: it mainly crushes the wood raw material into a suitable size for carbonisation. The most common crushing equipments are: wood crusher, wood chip machine, shaving machine and so on. The working principle of these equipments is to cut the raw materials into small pieces and wood chips through the high-speed rotating blades.
Carbonisation equipment: it is the core equipment of charcoal production, which can be used to achieve the carbonisation process of raw materials. Carbonisation equipment can be divided into continuous carbonisation furnace and batch carbonisation furnace. Continuous carbonisation furnace has the advantages of high degree of automation and high production efficiency, which is suitable for large-scale production. Batch type carbonisation furnace is more suitable for small scale production. The choice of carbonisation equipment can be reasonably configured with the production requirements of different customers.
Auxiliary equipment: cooling device, sorting equipment, packaging equipment, conveying equipment and so on. These equipments play an important role in improving the efficiency of charcoal production and the quality of finished products.
In short, charcoal production process and charcoal machine are two aspects that complement each other. Understanding and mastering them is important for improving charcoal production efficiency, reducing production costs and promoting the sustainable development of the industry.
