In May 2025, Shuliy successfully exported a continuous charcoal carbonization furnace to Zimbabwe for a local customer’s charcoal production line project. The customer not only purchased the furnace but also other equipment for the production line, including a charcoal crusher, mixer, and additional supporting machines. The equipment is now in operation at the factory in Zimbabwe. Below, I will provide a detailed overview of this customer’s order.

Continuous Carbonization Furnace Production Process

The continuous charcoal carbonization furnace works by using the heat generated from combustion to trigger the pyrolysis of biomass materials. Raw materials continuously move forward in a rotating drum, where complex organic components are decomposed, and volatile gases are released under precisely controlled high temperatures.

These volatile gases then enter the combustion chamber to burn again, greatly improving the furnace’s energy efficiency and effectively reducing harmful emissions, achieving a cleaner carbonization process.
