Factors Affecting The Quality Of Charcoal Making

Charcoal plays a big role in people’s daily lives, has many important industrial uses, and has a high market value. Therefore, making high-quality charcoal can create a lot of profit margins. So what are the factors that affect charcoal production?

Features of high-quality charcoal

Moisture content: the lower the moisture content of charcoal, the better its storage performance and it is less likely to produce a lot of smoke when burned.
Ash content: the less ash remains after burning charcoal, the higher the purity of the charcoal and the better its quality.

It can also be observed from the following physical characteristics:
Hardness: good charcoal should have a certain hardness and be difficult to break, which reflects its dense internal structure and sufficient carbonization.
Appearance: a regular shape, no obvious cracks, and a smooth surface are all characteristics of high-quality charcoal.

Charcoal making machine equipment performance

Carbonization temperature: temperature control during the charcoal making process is crucial. High temperatures can promote the decomposition and carbonization of organic matter, thereby increasing the fixed carbon content and calorific value of charcoal. However, if the temperature is too low, the charcoal may have high ash content, be brittle, and have poor combustion performance.

The working efficiency of the equipment and the different parameters indirectly determine the effect of charcoal production.

We provide high-quality vertical carbonization machines and horizontal carbonization machines that can make high-quality charcoal in an energy-saving and efficient manner. We have a professional pre-sales and after-sales team. If you are interested, please feel free to consult us.

Selection of raw materials for charcoal making machine

Wood type: different types of wood will affect the final quality and burning characteristics of machine-made charcoal due to their differences in carbon content, fiber structure, and resin content. For example, hardwoods are generally better for making high-quality charcoal.

Wood moisture content: dry wood is more likely to produce high-quality charcoal.
