Charcoal is a fuel used for grilling and heating. It is typically made from biomass materials and charcoal. The charcoal-making machine is an essential piece of equipment for producing charcoal. So, how is charcoal for grilling made?
The raw material for making charcoal is wood. It is important to select the appropriate type of wood for charcoal production. Hardwood is the best choice. Such as oak, camphor wood, fruit wood, jujube wood, birch wood, etc. It is best to use dry wood that is free of oils and impurities.
Cut the dry wood into appropriate lengths. Then use a crusher to break it into smaller pieces or wood chips. This increases the wood's surface area, making it easier for the subsequent carbonisation process.
Place the crushed wood in a carbonisation furnace for carbonisation. Horizontal carbonisation furnaces can replace traditional earthen kilns. Carbonisation furnaces are modern industrial carbonisation equipment. Heat the wood to high carbonisation temperatures. By controlling the carbonisation temperature and atmospheric conditions, the wood undergoes thermal decomposition at high temperatures. The moisture and organic matter in the wood are decomposed, leaving solid charcoal.
Grind and mix the charcoal using a mixer. The charcoal is ground into a powder. Binder and water are added simultaneously. The mixture is thoroughly stirred using a mixer. The binder ratio is typically 3%. The water ratio is approximately 20–25%. Depending on the type of raw material, the ratios of binder and water may vary.
The thoroughly mixed charcoal powder is then extruded into barbecue charcoal sticks using a charcoal powder briquetting machine under high pressure. The briquetting machine has various types of moulds. Different shapes can be extruded, such as circular, pillow-shaped, cubic, rectangular, cylindrical, and hexagonal prismatic shapes.
The produced barbecue charcoal contains a certain amount of moisture. It needs to be dried using a drying oven with hot airflow. Drying prevents cracks on the surface of the barbecue charcoal. Alternatively, it can be naturally air-dried. Finally, it is packaged using a packaging system.
During storage, a dry and well-ventilated environment must be maintained to prevent the charcoal from becoming damp or deteriorating.
It is important to note that the production of barbecue charcoal requires certain technical expertise and equipment. Especially during the carbonisation process, it is essential to control the carbonisation temperature and oxygen supply. If you lack the necessary experience and equipment, it is advisable not to attempt to produce barbecue charcoal on your own.

Sawdust briquette machine is a kind of screw extrusion type press. Also known as: biomass ball making machine and charcoal machine. It is used to make biomass raw material into fuel-type balls. Sawdust briquette machine can take waste agricultural materi
Charcoal briquette extruder machine is also called coal stick extruder. Adopting the principle of spiral extrusion. It is a coal bar forming equipment that compresses the modulated coal powder into a prefabricated shape with a certain strength.
Bamboo charcoal has high utilisation value. In daily life, bamboo charcoal is mainly used to eliminate and adsorb odours. For example, it can be used to eliminate the odour of a new car or to eliminate the odour of a new house after renovation.
Continuous carbonization furnace can directly carbonise: sawdust, coconut shell, rice husk, bamboo shavings, straw, nut shell, coffee shell, palm shell, peanut shell, and other biomass raw materials. It is a new type of carbonization equipment.
Horizontal Carbonization Furnace Also known as charcoal making machine. It can carbonise all kinds of raw materials. The equipment adopts new high temperature dry distillation pyrolysis carbonization technology.
The vertical lifting carbonization furnace uses advanced airflow carbonization. It can produce all kinds of biomass charcoal. The carbonization furnace has convenient operation, environmental protection and energy saving, high production efficiency, and c
Sawdust dryer refers to putting the powder granular wet sawdust. After a high temperature, hot airflow is conveyed and dispersed. Make the moisture in the material evaporate. Sawdust dryer can dry sawdust, rice husk, wood chips, biomass granules...
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 highly efficient, continuous, and fast solid fluidised drying method. Loose powdery or granular materials are dispersed and suspen
