How to Make Bamboo Charcoal?
01 Prereatment for Bamboo Materials
- Drying: Keep bamboo moisture is below 15% for better pyrolysis (carbonization) effect.
- Crushing and screening: Keep bamboo materials size is between 5mm and 20mm for faster reaction efficiency.
02 Preheating Biochar Reactor
Preheat biochar reactor of bamboo charcoal machine for 60 to 90 minutes. Once the desired temperature is reached, you can begin feeding the material. The pyrolysis reaction will produce enough syngas. The external heat source can be adjusted based on the amount of gas generated, allowing for timely shutdown.
Note: Initial heating can be done using diesel, LPG, or natural gas, but different burners need to be prepared accordingly.
03 Feeding Bamboo into Reactor
04 Bamboo Pyrolysis/Carbonization Process
Bamboo waste undergoes drying and partial carbonization inside the inner cylinder of the reactor. A screw mechanism then pushes the material into the outer cylinder, where complete carbonization occurs. Finally, the screw pushes the material to the discharge outlet.
- Reaction Duration: Approximately 15 to 25 minutes.
- Reaction Temperature: 380°C to 450°C.
05 Bamboo Biochar Discharging
Customers can choose whether to collect wood tar and wood vinegar based on their needs.
06 SynGas & Emission Gas Treatment
Various Bamboo Charcoal Uses: Bring Good Economic Profit

Test Report of Resulting Bamboo Biochar
Indicator introduction: What You Should Concern
Fixed Carbon Content
The fixed carbon content in bamboo pyrolysis biochar is a crucial indicator of its quality. Higher fixed carbon content suggests a more stable biochar, which effectively sequesters carbon and contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Volatile Matter Content
The volatile matter content of biochar provides insights into its carbonization degree. Lower volatile matter indicates higher carbonization, enhancing the stability and durability of the biochar for long-term applications.
Ash Content
Ash content is an important measure of biochar purity. A lower ash content reflects a higher quality biochar, which is more desirable for soil applications.
Sulfur Content
Sulfur content does indeed directly affect the application of biochar. Generally, lower sulfur levels are preferable, as they can reduce the negative environmental impacts of biochar during use.
Laboratory Report on Bamboo Biochar
You can see the carbonized bamboo biochar from bamboo charcoal making machine has high fixed carbon content, low sulfur content, and relatively low ash and volatile matter content. This implies high quality.
