How Do You Make Briquettes From Sawdust?

2025-07-20

Sawdust is a waste product that is produced every day in some wood processing plants. The value of sawdust is much higher when it is processed into charcoal briquettes using charcoal making machine. If the sawdust is processed into sawdust briquettes. It is necessary to use a whole set of charcoal making machine.

 

Sawdust making sawdust briquettes process

 

Selected Sawdust

Charcoal requires high quality sawdust as raw material. Therefore, hard and dry sawdust should be selected. And remove the gas impurities in the sawdust.

 

Sawdust Drying

If it is a wood processing plant usually dry wood. There is little moisture in the sawdust. This kind of sawdust can be directly carbonised using a carbonising furnace. If it is a wood processing plant, using wet logs processing output sawdust. Then the water content is larger. Therefore, it needs to be dried out or dried in a dryer before carbonisation.

 

Carbonisation

Sawdust carbonisation requires the use of a continuous carbonisation oven. Carbonisation removes volatiles from the sawdust. The sawdust is converted into a harder, denser and more compact carbonaceous material. Carbonisation is carried out at high temperatures.

 

Grinding And Binder Mixing

Sawdust after carbonisation. After carbonisation, the sawdust is crushed to a pulverised state using a grinder. The sawdust is then mixed with the binder using a binder mixer.

 

Briquetting

The sawdust is then compressed into sawdust briquettes at high pressure using a charcoal briquette machine. The compressed sawdust briquettes have the advantages of high calorific value and long burning time.

How Do You Make Briquettes From Sawdust?

Through the above steps, high quality sawdust briquettes can be made from sawdust wood chips. The charcoal produced not only has a long burning time . It can also adsorb pollutants in the air very well . It is a very environmental protection and use of green energy.
