Step-by-Step Process of Sawdust Charcoal Production

 

 

To better understand the functionality of a sawdust charcoal making machine, let’s explore the step-by-step process involved in producing charcoal from sawdust.

 

Stage 1: Feeding and Pre-Drying
The initial stage involves feeding the machine with sawdust, which acts as the primary raw material. The quality of the sawdust greatly influences the final product. Pre-drying the sawdust is essential to reduce its moisture content, as excessive moisture can hinder the carbonization process. By maintaining an optimal moisture level, the subsequent stages can proceed smoothly.

 

Stage 2: Pyrolysis
Once the sawdust is properly dried, the pyrolysis stage begins. Pyrolysis is a thermochemical decomposition process that occurs in the absence of oxygen. In this stage, the sawdust is subjected to high temperatures, typically ranging from 400 to 600 degrees Celsius. As the temperature rises, the organic compounds within the sawdust break down, releasing volatile gases and leaving behind carbon-rich charcoal.

 

Stage 3: Cooling and Discharging
After the pyrolysis process, the generated charcoal is extremely hot and requires rapid cooling. The cooling system within the machine ensures that the charcoal reaches a safe handling temperature quickly. Once cooled, the charcoal is discharged from the machine using the discharging system. This system efficiently collects and removes the charcoal for further processing or packaging.

How Does a Sawdust Briquette Machine Work?
 

Raw Material Preparation

The first step is to collect and prepare the raw material, which is usually sawdust, but it can also include wood chips, rice husks, straw, or other biomass waste. The raw material needs to be dried to reduce its moisture content, as excess moisture can affect the quality of the briquettes. We can use wood shredders to make wood into the raw materials we want.

 

 

Mechanical Pressure

As the material enters the die, it experiences high mechanical pressure from the machine’s pressing mechanism. This pressure compacts the sawdust, forcing it to bind together without the need for any additional binders or additives. The lignin naturally present in the sawdust acts as a binder.

Feeding the Material

The dried and prepared sawdust or biomass is fed into the briquette machine’s hopper. Some machines may have a separate feeding system to ensure a steady and consistent supply of material.

 

 

Forming Briquettes

As the compressed material moves through the die, it takes the shape of the holes, resulting in the formation of briquettes of uniform size and shape.

Compression

Inside the machine, the raw material passes through a die or a mold with specific shapes and sizes for the desired briquette. The die contains small holes or openings that shape the briquettes as the material passes through.

 

 

Cooling and Collecting

Once the briquettes are formed, they may still be warm from the compression process. They are then allowed to cool down, which helps them retain their shape and strength. The finished briquettes are collected in a container or a bagging system for further use or storage.

 
How to Use A Sawdust Charcoal Making Machine?
Prepare Raw Materials

Gather and prepare the raw materials, which are usually sawdust or other biomass waste materials like wood chips, rice husks, straw, etc. Ensure that the raw materials are dry and free from impurities, as excess moisture can affect the briquette quality.

Load the Hopper

Open the feeding hopper of the Sawdust Charcoal Making Machine and add the prepared raw materials into it. Some machines may have separate feeding systems for a consistent supply of material.

Adjust Compression Pressure

Depending on the type and design of the machine, you might need to adjust the compression pressure. This can be done through the machine’s control panel or settings.

Start the Machine

Switch on the sawdust pini kay briquette machine and start the compression process. The machine will use mechanical pressure to compress the raw materials, forming them into briquettes.

Collect the Briquettes

As the briquettes are formed, they will come out from the other end of the machine. Collect the finished briquettes in a container or onto a conveyor belt for further handling or packaging.

 
Tips for the use of Sawdust Charcoal Making Machine
 

Before use, start and run without load for ten minutes to check whether there is jamming or blockage. If an abnormality is found, the machine needs to be shut down immediately to find the cause. After the fault is removed, check the operation buttons of the corresponding equipment during the operation. The green button (forward rotation), the red button (stop), and the yellow button (reverse).

 
 

The preset temperature needs to be adjusted before feeding. Depending on the material, the boot temperature is generally between 260-380°C. Generally speaking, miscellaneous wood sawdust can be set to about 320°C, and the preset temperature of rice husk is about 260°C. Other materials are adjusted according to the hardness of the material. The harder the material is, the corresponding temperature will increase by about 10℃.

 
 

If the rod is produced too quickly or the color of the rod is black, it means the preset temperature is too high. At this time, you need to adjust the temperature control table, lower the temperature control table by 3℃ each time, and then continue to observe the situation until the color of the rod is brown. But the temperature of the rod-making machine should not be too low. If it is too low, it will cause too much resistance to fail.

 
 

If there is a jam or the speed of the rod is too slow, and the color of the rod is too light, it means that the temperature is too low. Raise the high-temperature control meter to 5℃ each time until the rod is normal.

 
 

When the Sawdust Charcoal Making Machine is stopped, the hopper’s remaining material should be discharged, and then press the reverse button to make the material in the propulsion shaft withdraw. After shutting down, the heating ring needs to continue to work for 10 minutes to allow the remaining rods in the heating cylinder to become charcoal so that it can be used next time.

 

 

 

Key Factors Influencing the Performance of Sawdust Charcoal Making Machines
