BBQ charcoal briquettes are widely popular for their stable combustion, uniform heat distribution, and minimal smoke and odor. This guide details the entire industrial BBQ charcoal briquettes production process from raw material preparation to final packaging, providing a comprehensive understanding of this technology.
Raw material preparation and processing
The quality of BBQ charcoal largely depends on the raw materials. Common raw materials include:
- Wood chips, sawdust, bamboo shavings, rice husks, peanut shells, coconut shell powder, etc.
These materials should be free of impurities and have a moisture content below 12%. If the raw materials are too wet, a sawdust dryer can be used to ensure proper forming with the charcoal ball press.
Carbonization process
During the BBQ charcoal briquettes production process, carbonization is necesssary, converting wood materials into high-carbon charcoal. For example,
- Continuous carbonization kiln : Suitable for large-scale production, enabling 24-hour continuous feeding and charcoal output.
Shuliy’s carbonization furnaces utilize an energy-efficient combustion system that recycles exhaust gases for secondary combustion, reducing energy consumption and dust emissions while meeting international environmental standards.
Grinding and mixing
After carbonization, the material enters a wheel grinder mill for further grinding and pulverization. It is then uniformly mixed with a binder (such as starch, bentonite, or tapioca flour) in precise proportions within a mixer.
This step is crucial for ensuring uniform composition and robust shaping of the barbecue charcoal.
BBQ charcoal briquettes forming
After charcoal powder production is complete, options can be selected based on customer requirements for the finished product:
For standard BBQ charcoal shapes (round, square, pillow-shaped, etc.), use a charcoal ball pressing machine to form charocal briquettes.
Drying
After production, the charcoal sticks retain a certain temperature and are dried using a charcoal dryer. This ensures the integrity and aesthetic appeal of the finished product.
Packaging and storage
The last step of the BBQ charcoal briquettes production process is packing, typically using quantitative packaging machines.
- Packaging specifications: 1kg, 2kg, 5kg, 10kg, etc.
- Packaging types: Kraft paper bags, color-printed bags, boxed, etc.
- Custom logo printing: Client branding information can be printed for supermarket or export channels.
Shuliy provides automatic weighing packaging machines and labeling machines to support customized packaging solutions.
