Raw material preparation

The first step in producing pillow charcoal briquettes is raw material preparation. Commonly used raw materials include wood chips, rice husks, coconut shells and other biomass materials.

These raw materials should be dried with a sawdust dryer to ensure moderate moisture content for the subsequent carbonization and briquetting process.

Carbonization process

After the raw materials are prepared, they next need to be carbonized.

Carbonization can be carried out in our continuous carbonization oven, where the raw material is converted into charcoal at high temperatures. The carbonized material should appear as uniform black particles, which prepares it for subsequent pressing.

Once carbonization is complete, the charcoal powder is mixed with the appropriate amount of binder and fed into our charcoal ball pressing machine for molding.

The pillow BBQ charcoal machine uses high-pressure pressing technology to press the charcoal powder into pillow-shaped briquettes. The specific steps are as follows:

  • Mixing: mix the carbon powder and binder well to ensure uniformity.
  • Feeding: feed the mixed materials into the equipment.
  • Molding: the material is pressed into pillow charcoal briquettes by the high pressure of the barbecue charcoal machine.
  • Drying: after molding, the charcoal briquettes need to be dried to remove excess moisture and ensure product quality.
