Sawdust Charcoal Making Machine

Sawdust serves as a vital raw material for mechanically produced charcoal. Charcoal manufactured from sawdust boasts the advantageous characteristic of high calorific value (reaching 7000-8000 kcal/kg). Sawdust charcoal processing reduces timber wastage and provides an alternative to traditional coal. We supply complete sawdust charcoal making machine, including customised solutions: sawdust briquetting presses, continuous carbonisation furnaces, roller mills, and more.
 

Sawdust Charcoal Production Process

The conversion of sawdust into charcoal primarily relies on pyrolysis carbonisation. Sawdust is first conveyed via a feeding mechanism into the continuous carbonisation furnace. When heated under oxygen-depleted conditions (300-500°C), the organic matter within the sawdust decomposes, releasing volatile substances. This leaves behind carbon-rich solid residue. The carbon yield from this process is 25-30%. The carbonised sawdust is then cooled and discharged via a cooling unit.

To produce charcoal briquettes from sawdust charcoal, the sawdust charcoal is fed into a mixer. Binder and water are added, and the mixture is compressed into briquettes. This enhances the density and combustion efficiency of the final charcoal product.

Finally, the charcoal is sun-dried to achieve the finished product. To accelerate drying efficiency, a drying oven may be employed.

Comparison of Sawdust Charcoal vs. Traditional Charcoal

Combustion Performance: Sawdust charcoal possesses a higher calorific value and burns more rapidly, making it suitable for barbecues and similar applications.

Forming Difficulty: Requires a proportion of natural adhesive to achieve compression moulding.

Dense Texture: Sawdust charcoal briquettes possess a more compact structure than conventional charcoal, resulting in extended burning duration.

Environmental Advantages: Raw materials typically derive from waste sawdust. Production energy consumption is approximately 40% lower than traditional charcoal.

Sawdust Charcoal Making Techniques

To achieve superior sawdust charcoal, select hardwood sawdust over softwood varieties. Maintain raw material moisture content below 15%. During carbonisation, ensure uniform heating to prevent flash fires. As combustible gases are produced, conduct this process in a dry, well-ventilated area away from ignition sources. Finished charcoal must be packaged and stored in sealed, moisture-proof containers within a dry, well-ventilated area.

As a vital fuel source, charcoal is gaining prominence for heating and cooking amidst dwindling coal reserves and rising prices. Mechanically produced charcoal, utilising waste sawdust as raw material, offers significant profit margins. Should you wish to establish a sawdust charcoal making plant, we welcome your enquiry!
