The process of making charcoal briquettes
First, pour the sawdust into the shredder until it is crushed to the size of 5 mm. Then pass the crushed material through a large drying drum to reduce its moisture content. It should be dried to a moisture content between 8 and 12%. After the material is dry, insert the sawdust into the biomass briquette machine by pressing it inside the machine.
Compress the Biomass briquette machine under high pressure and temperature in a process called briquetting. During this process, there is a self-association that involves the thermoplastic flow of biomass. Lignin content is naturally formed and released inside the biomass machine due to high pressure and temperature. It acts as an adhesive, binding and compacting the biomass to form high-density briquettes.
While inside the screw briquetting machine, the briquetting material is agitated by a central shaft inside the machine to ensure even combustion. Once the biomass is briquetted, they are placed in the carbonization furnace. This turns them into machine briquette charcoal. In the carbonization furnace, minor materials such as starch binder are included where they are mixed with the material. It is then taken to a conveyor belt machine where the material is heated under high temperatures to reduce its moisture content to less than 5%. Charcoal briquettes are ready and can be stored. Charcoal will have high density and high calorific value. In addition, it will be smokeless and odorless, just like natural charcoal. Charcoal briquettes are an environmentally friendly product because they do not pollute the environment.
