Charcoal briquette is a kind of fuel made by charcoal powder. Compared with traditional fuels, charcoal briquettes can not only generate heat continuously but also produce no smoke and odor during combustion.

Therefore, it has been widely used in domestic and industrial applications in recent years and has become the most popular fuel in many countries such as Kenya, the Middle East, Uganda, India, etc.

With the increase of its economic benefits, the charcoal briquettes process has become one of the hottest processing industries. So, how to make charcoal briquettes?
Process of making charcoal briquettes

Step 1: carbonization
Firstly, fire the raw materials in a rotary kiln. During the one-week combustion process, the temperature needs to be maintained at approximately 840-950 °F (450-510 °C).

After the end of combustion, close the air inlet, and after one to two hours of exhaust, close the exhaust hole. After a two-week cooling period, empty the kiln and crush the carbonized wood (charcoal).

Step 2: crushing
Use a hammer crusher or roller crusher to crush the carbonized wood. Although different types of wood such as bark, dry wood chips, wet wood and so on should be crushed to different sizes, generally they can be crushed into pieces of charcoal to 5mm below to make high-quality charcoal briquettes.

Step 3: drying
Then a drying process is needed. If the water content exceeds the empirical upper limit, the temperature will rise and the volume will expand suddenly, which is easy to cause an explosion. If the moisture content is too low, it will be difficult to mold. Use a dryer to reduce its moisture content to the level required for briquettes formation by about half (to about 15%).

Step 4: briquetting
Briquetting is a key step in charcoal molding. After the raw materials enter the ball press, they will be subjected to three kinds of forces, namely the main driving force of the briquette machine, the friction force and the centripetal force of the wall.

Due to moisture, adhesives, temperature (about 105 °F or 40 °C) and pressure of the rollers of the briquetting machine, the charcoal briquettes can maintain their shape when they fall from the bottom of the machine.

Step 5: drying
Feed the charcoal briquettes into the dryer for about three to four hours to heat them to 275 °F (135 °C) and reduce the moisture to about 5%.

After production, bag the charcoal briquettes immediately or stored them in silos. Following the above steps, charcoal briquettes will be produced at a production rate of 2200-20,000 pounds (1-9 metric tons) per hour.

Charcoal Briquette Machine for Sale
A charcoal briquette machine is used to press the charcoal powders （from sawdust, wood, coconute shells, bamboo） into the high-quality charcoal briquettes. They can burn for at least 3 hours, which is actually 6 times more efficient compared to the conventional firewood.
