Charcoal is an important energy source for families and small businesses in developing countries. More than 2.4 billion people still rely on charcoal as the main fuel for production activities. The production of natural charcoal is limited, there for machine-made charcoal came into being. Charcoal has a wide range of uses, in recent years, the charcoal industry has developed rapidly, and a large amount of charcoal is used in metallurgy, chemical industry, daily life and other industries. The machine-made charcoal produced by briquette machine and carbonizing furnace is an internationally recognized green product. Generally speaking, machine-made charcoal has a broad prospect.

There are several reasons for opening a charcoal factory.

1.Rich raw materials

The raw materials for charcoal production come from a wide range of sources. Sawdust, straw, rice hulls and peanut shells can all be used as raw materials for machine-made charcoal. China is a big agricultural country, with 6-7 billion tons of crop straws and other residues every year, and its utilization rate is only 20%. If a large number of crop straws and crop residues are directly discarded, it will be a great waste of resources and cause great pollution to the environment. If these resources are utilized and made into machine-made charcoal, it will bring huge economic benefits and conform to the concept of sustainable development.

2.Machine-made carbon is widely used.

Charcoal can be used not only as domestic fuel, but also in chemical industry, construction industry, metallurgy industry and animal husbandry. It can be used for barbecue, heating, chafing dish, boiler, moistureproof, home decoration, medical heat preservation, etc.

3.The technology is easy to master

The charcoal processing machine is easy to operate, easy to learn and understand. Generally, it takes 3-5 days to fully master the operation process. The raw materials need to be crushed. When the water content of crushed charcoal is more than 12%, it needs to be dried. The dried raw materials are briquetted by a briquetting machine, and finally carbonized into charcoal by carbonizing furnace.

4.The charcoal market is in great demand.

According to statistics, as of January-February 2022, China’s charcoal import amount was USD 16 million, up 67.19% year-on-year, and its export amount was USD 26 million, up 6.12% year-on-year.

From all aspects, the production of machine-made charcoal meets the policy requirements and environmental protection requirements. Machine-made charcoal is also a good product to solve energy problems, environmental problems and waste of resources, and has a broad market prospect.
