Charcoal Briquette Machine

Introduction of Charcoal Briquette Machine

Charcoal briquette machine refers to the equipment for compressing the charcoal powder or coal dust into different shape blocks. It can convert charcoal/coal powder into oval shape and pillow shape briquettes.

Charcoal briquettes are mainly used as solid fuel in both households and industries. You can see them used for roasting meat on the BBQ grill, burning on the household stove for cooking, heating the industrial boiler in factories, etc. They are widely used for barbecue, grilling, refractories, power plants, and metallurgy. It is a good business for producing charcoal briquettes.

Application of Briquette Machine:

1.How to get charcoal/coal materials for making briquettes?

Waste charcoal or coal dust. In the charcoal production plant or coal mine, there is a lot of waste charcoal / coal in small pieces and dust. These waste charcoals can be collected and used for making briquettes. It is not only a good way to get cheap materials for making briquettes, but also turn the waste into wealth, increasing the level of resource utilization.

Make charcoal from biomass materials, such as waste wood, branches, coconut shell, rice husk, bamboo, palm shell, etc. You need to build a charcoal kiln to produce charcoal or use the carbonization furnace for charring the biomass materials into charcoal.

2. Requirements of charcoal for making briquettes

1.> Size. The charcoal or coal size should be less than 5mm so that they can be easily pressed into briquettes.

2.>Moisture. The moisture of charcoal for making briquettes is around 30%. Proper moisture is good for the briquettes forming and increasing the density of the charcoal briquettes.

3.> Binder. Usually, the binder is necessary for the charcoal briquettes processing. Binder can make the charcoal briquettes more solid and smooth. The most common binder is corn starch or cassava starch. The best binder adding rate is 4%-6%. There are also some customers who add the combustion improver to accelerate the lighting speed of charcoal. No matter binder or ignite accelerating agent, you can use a charcoal mixer to blend the charcoal powder with water and additive evenly.

Final Briquettes:

Shape: can be round, pillow, oval.

Size: changeable size 18mm-80mm, made according to clients requests.
