It is possible to manufacture charcoal from wood, coconut shells, etc. and other forms of biomass materials. The materials need to be heated to high temperatures in a biochar machine. You will find that charcoal making machine prices vary greatly between manufacturers and suppliers. In this short article, we are going to briefly outline the processes behind transforming biomass waste into charcoal.

Drying
The first stage of charcoal production is the drying of the raw material. And the chips are automatically fed into a carbonization furnace where the drying processes begins. It is important that all traces of moisture are removed before the wood enters the pyrolysis reactor.
Biomass Pyrolysis Process
The biomass pyrolysis process is a key stage of charcoal production machine. The dried wood is heated to temperatures exceeding 250 degrees Celsius in an oxygen absent chamber. The absence of oxygen is essential to stop the wood from burning. The aim of the process is to vaporize all the liquid and gaseous components in the materials, leaving only carbon behind.
Cooling
The vapors from the reactor and sent through a water-cooled system to desulfurize hot flue gas. The steam condenses into water recycle pools.
End Products
The end products from a charcoal making plant include charcoal, biogas, wood vinegar, and tar. Both tar and wood vinegar can be sold directly to many industries.

Biomass charcoal is hard and brittle and has minimal moisture content. The carbon content of wood charcoal can top 90%, which means it is a clean-burning, efficient fuel source. The moisture content ranges from 5% to 15%. Charcoal is a very convenient fuel source for cooking because it produces almost no smoke when burning. Furthermore, it is easier to control the temperature of a charcoal-fueled grill by using various different sized pieces. In addition to being a fuel source, charcoal plays a big role in water purification processes. It can decolorize water and give in a more natural taste for drinking.
Charcoal Making Machine Price
The price of charcoal making machine varies subject to a multitude of factors. Some of the key specifications and parameters to look at when comparing different models are working method, hourly feeding capacity, reactor size, heating materials, floor area, operating pressure, reactor pattern (horizontal and rotary), cooling method and estimated life span. An average wood charcoal making machine will have a working life span of between five and eight years.
The hourly feeding capacity and reactor size of a model tend to have the biggest impact on the price tag. The small models that have hourly feeding capacities of 500kg tend to be the most affordable, but they are not practical for large-scale charcoal production. A range of heating materials can generally be used to heat the furnace and the reactor in a charcoal making plant. Such materials include wood, natural gas, biomass, charcoal, LPG, etc. In addition, it’s important to note that most charcoal making machines can process a wide range of raw materials besides wood, including MSW, civil sludge and biomass waste (sawdust, palm shells, coconut shells, straw, etc.).
