Do you know how to start a coal briquette business? How to properly set up a charcoal briquetting plant? What is the appropriate equipment? This article will provide you with the information you need to help you get started.
Step 1: Raw material preparation
A successful charcoal briquetting plant starts with high-quality raw materials. Use charcoal dust, coal powder, or biomass powders. Check moisture content (8%-12%) and remove large chunks.
Customer focus: Material type, purity, and moisture affect final briquette hardness and burn quality.
Our solution: Our plant includes pre-crushing and drying systems to handle various raw materials with adjustable moisture levels, ensuring consistent briquette quality.
Step 2: Crushing
Raw charcoal or coal must be crushed into fine powder using the hammer mill.
Customer concerns:
- Particle size uniformity
- Crusher capacity and durability
- Maintenance cost
Our solution: Our hammer mill produces uniform powder at high capacity, with wear-resistant parts that reduce maintenance and ensure long-term operation.
Step 3: Mixing & grinding
Mix and grind crushed charcoal with binders such as starch or clay for proper binding.
Customer focus:
- Uniform mixing ensures consistent briquette quality
- Automated feeding reduces labor
- Batch or continuous mixing options
Our solution: Our high-efficiency wheel mix grinder provides even binder distribution and can be integrated with automatic feeding for continuous, labor-saving operation.
Step 4: Briquetting
Use a charcoal briquette machine to form briquettes in the desired shape (round, hexagonal, or stick).
Customer focus:
- Briquette size, density, and hardness
- Production capacity (kg/h or t/h)
- Durability of molds and screws
Our solution: Our coal briquette extruder allows adjustable size and density, delivers high output, and uses durable molds and rollers designed for long-lasting performance.
Step 5: Drying
Dry freshly pressed briquettes using the drying room to remove moisture and prevent cracking.
Customer focus:
- Drying efficiency and energy use
- Temperature control
- Continuous vs batch drying
Our solution: Our charcoal briquette dryer ensures uniform, energy-efficient drying with precise temperature control, suitable for both batch and continuous production.
Step 6: Packaging
Use automatic bagging machines for safe and clean packaging.
Customer focus:
- Packaging size and type
- Prevent moisture absorption
- Integration with production line
Our solution: Our automatic heat shrink bagging machine is flexible for different packaging sizes, prevent moisture, and integrates seamlessly with the production line.
