Charcoal briquettes have advantageous features such as high calorific value, low ash content, no smoke and no smell, and long burning time. So, how to make the best charcoal briquettes?
Important Factors For Making The Best Charcoal Briquettes
If you need to make the best charcoal briquettes. It is closely related to the wood raw material and charcoal making machine and production process. A good raw material is wood that contains a large amount of wood fibre. For example: sawdust, rice husk, wood chips, branches, wood, bark, straw and so on. To ensure the quality and safety of the finished charcoal briquettes.
Key Steps in Making Charcoal Briquettes
- Selecting Wood: The production of high-quality charcoal requires the selection of hardwoods with high density and good fibre structure, such as mahogany, teak, oak, birch, date wood, and so on. Avoid softwoods that contain resins summarising toxic substances.
- Cutting and crushing: The wood is cut into appropriate sized pieces. If then crushed into wood chips and sawdust using a wood crusher. Facilitate subsequent carbonisation and moulding.
- Carbonisation process: Send the wood chips to the continuous carbonisation furnace through the conveying device. Control the temperature and time of carbonisation. Usually it can be divided into three stages: preheating, carbonisation and cooling. The wood chips usually need to be gradually carbonised at a higher temperature. To ensure that the moisture and impurities in the wood are completely evaporated. After carbonisation, the charcoal is then cooled.
- Uniform mixing: Granular charcoal is further ground using a wheel mill. At the same time, a certain proportion of water and binder are added and mixed thoroughly. It is convenient for the subsequent moulding process.
- Rod moulding: the charcoal powder is compressed into compact charcoal briquettes through the high temperature and high pressure of the coal powder briquette machine. The charcoal briquettes can be customised into various shapes. The moulds can be customized according to users' requirements.
- Finished product drying: the charcoal briquettes are dried naturally or in a drying oven. The final product is made into charcoal briquettes.

In short, if you want to make the best charcoal briquettes. Raw material and charcoal making machine are important. Next is the production process and technology. If you know more detailed information about charcoal making first. Welcome your enquiry.
