Charcoal ball press machine is the equipment used to compress charcoal or coal powder into pillow, oval or other customized shape briquettes. It is widely used for charcoal powder molding, coal powder molding, dry powder molding, desulfurization gypsum molding, coke powder molding, iron filings molding, etc. In the charcoal production, it is mainly used to make coal briquettes and charcoal briquettes for barbecue, heating, cooking, and metallurgy, etc.
Raw Material
The charcoal ball press machine can be used to press various powdery materials such as charcoal / coal powder, iron powder, coking coal, activated carbon, etc.
The powdery material needs to meet the requirements below:
- Size: less than 5mm.
- Moisture: around 30%.
- Binder: a binder is needed to make solid charcoal briquettes.
Finished Products
- The charcoal briquettes made by this charcoal ball press machine are smokeless, non-toxic, odorless, environmentally friendly, easy to use, with little fly ash, stable heat emission and quality.
- The finished briquettes is suitable for outdoor or indoor barbecue with ventilation facilities.
- They have a large heat value, and burn longer than traditional charcoal does.

At Which Step in the Charcoal Briquette Production Line Is the Charcoal Ball Press Machine Used: STEP 4
Step 1: Carbonize the raw material with a carbonization furnace
Step 2: Crush the carbonized material with a professional charcoal grinder
Step 3: Mix the powdery material with a charcoal mixer
STEP 4: Compress the mixed material to charcoal briquettes with a charcoal ball press machine
Common Machine Combinations
Generally, customers’ raw charcoal material needs to be pre treated. They may be carbonized tree branches charcoal, boards charcoal, wood charcoal, fruit shells charcoal, etc, which are all relatively large in size. Firstly, we need to use a grinder to crush these big size charcoal materials into powder, and then mix the powdered charcoal thoroughly with an appropriate amount of water and binder through a wheel mill mixer to achieve a good molding effect.
These machines are simple to operate, with a low cost.
How The Charcoal Ball Press Machine Works
The powder material evenly enters the hopper of the charcoal ball press machine, and then evenly enters the middle of the opposite roller. The opposite roller operates in the opposite direction at the same speed and the molding pressure changes from small to large. The molding pressure reaches the maximum value at the center line of the opposite roller. After the raw material passes the line, the molding pressure decreases rapidly to make the charcoal briquettes enter the dropping state.
When the pressing amount of the spiral feeder is equal to the amount of material required by the host, a constant feeding pressure can be maintained to stabilize the quality of the charcoal or coal briquettes.
If the feeding amount is too large, the electrical overload of the feeding device will occur; If the feeding amount is too small, it will not form balls. Therefore, proficient operation skills are an important condition for ensuring the normal operation of the ball press.
Diesel Charcoal Ball Press Machine
Some customers asked if there are diesel-powered charcoal briquette machines because there is no electricity or the cost of electricity is relatively high in their area. Diesel-powered machines are available, but the cost of the machines is relatively higher because the cost of diesel engines is higher than that of motors, and the reducer needs to be changed and the base needs to be added.
