Charcoal briquette making machine can compress charcoal powder (formed by high-temperature pyrolysis of carbon-containing materials like wood chips, coconut shells, straws, etc.) into solid charcoal briquettes. Equipped with various molds, this machine can produce charcoal briquettes of diverse shapes, such as cylindrical, hexagonal, and more. These charcoal briquettes are easy to ignite, store, and transport, making them widely applicable across various industries. Welcome to contact Beston Group to start your charcoal briquette manufacturing business.
You might question why bother processing biomass into charcoal briquettes instead of directly burning it for energy. However, direct burning poses several drawbacks, including air pollution, low energy efficiency, unpleasant odor, thick smoke, and unstable combustion. Beston charcoal briquette making machine effectively addresses these concerns. The produced charcoal briquettes offer many benefits, including:
High-temperature pyrolysis reduces most of the moisture and impurities in raw materials. Pressing into briquettes increases the density of the charcoal. These give charcoal briquettes a higher calorific value.
Charcoal briquettes boast a compact shape, uniform size, and low moisture content, making them easy to transport, store, and use. This facilitates convenience for consumers and retailers alike.
High-temperature pyrolysis removes most volatile substances and impurities from raw materials. As a result, charcoal briquette burns with less smoke, ash, and harmful emissions.
Charcoal briquettes can be tailored to specific applications by adjusting additives or shapes. For example, give shisha charcoal better flavor, faster ignition, and longer burn time.
This machine converts biomass waste into charcoal powder through high-temperature, oxygen-free pyrolysis. Beston Group offers 2 series of models to choose from, both designed for continuous operation. For more details, please visit the biochar machine page.

In a biomass pyrolysis plant, biomass is converted into biochar (typically small pieces or granules) inside the reactor. The reaction takes place at 380–450°C under low-oxygen and slight negative-pressure conditions.
Biochar from pyrolysis (small pieces or granules) is processed into briquettes by a charcoal briquette machine under specific pressure. This requires the addition of water and a binder. The workflow includes:
For more details, see the section on the components and functions of the charcoal briquette machine below.
It crushes the charoal powder into fine and uniform particles. This helps achieve tight bonding during briquetting, improving the density and strength of charcoal briquettes.
It is a place used to temporarily store the charcoal powder. This prevents blockages or shutdowns caused by speed differences between upstream and downstream machine.
It connects various parts of the charcoal briquette making machine to transport materials. It is fully enclosed, significantly reducing dust.
It controls the amount of binder added to the charcoal powder. This enhances the bonding strength between charcoal powder particles to achieve optimal briquette quality.
It uniformly mixes charcoal powder with additives such as binders and combustion promoter. This prevents the final charcoal briquettes from becoming loose or prone to cracking.
It performs a secondary rolling mixing on the mixed powder, making it more uniform and finely ground. This step increases the surface area of the material, facilitating better forming.
It presses the charcoal powder into the desired shapes, such as balls, hexagonal rods.
It removes excess moisture from the formed charcoal briquettes, drying and hardening them. This improves the strength and storage durability of the finished charcoal and prevents mold.
During the production process of charcoal briquettes, several factors play crucial roles in determining the quality and effectiveness of the formed briquettes. Users need to pay close attention to these factors to ensure optimal results.
It’s important to strictly control the proportion of binder to achieve the desired cohesion in the briquettes. Too much binder can lead to difficulties in burning, while too little can result in poor binding and disintegration of the briquettes.
If the particles are too large, the surface of the briquettes produced may turn out rough and uneven. Therefore, ensuring an appropriate particle size through proper grinding or milling processes is essential for achieving smooth and uniform briquettes.
Optimal moisture content facilitates better binding of the particles during the compression process, resulting in well-formed briquettes. Conversely, excessive moisture can lead to difficulties in molding and drying.
