Production process of sawdust briquette charcoal

The process of producing sawdust briquette charcoal consists of the following steps:

  1. Raw material preparation: collect and clean the sawdust to ensure that it is free from impurities.
  2. Drying: in oder to ensure the quality of the finished product, the sawdust dryer is used to reduce the sawdust moisture.
  3. Pressing and molding: the dried sawdust is pressed into shape using a sawdust briquetting machine. The sawdust can be pressed into different shapes of charcoal briquettes according to the demand.
  4. Carbonization: then put sawdust briquettes into a carbonization furnace(usually vertical charcoal furnace) for carbonization. Through high temperature in an oxygen-free or low-oxygen environment to remove volatiles, eventually sawdust briquette charcoal is made.
  5. Cooling and packaging: The charcoal after carbonization needs to be cooled to a safe temperature and then packaged for transportation and sale.
