The charcoal briquette machine, also known as the coal powder briquette machine, is a screw extruder machine that compresses the charcoal or coal material into briquettes of a specific shape and size. It can be used to manufacture barbecue (BBQ) charcoal, stove cooking charcoal, cube hookah coals, activated carbon pellets, etc. The finished charcoal briquette is smokeless and odorless, has high heat value, and can endure burning for a long time.
Different kinds of charcoal materials for making briquettes
Both charcoal and coal can be used as raw materials.
Many customers’ initial raw materials are not charcoal, but coconut shell, big wood material, wood shavings, rice husk, peanut shell or bamboo.
Some of the materials can be made into sawdust briquettes first, while some can be first converted into charcoal by a carbonization furnace, and then crushed into powder by a charcoal grinder machine, and then pressed into cylinder shape by this charcoal briquette extruder machine.
Different shapes of charcoal briquettes
Unlike the sawdust briquettes, the finished charcoal briquettes here can either solid or hollow. The common cross sections shapes can be circle, square, hexagonal, flower shape, etc. Customers can produce different shapes of charcoal briquettes easily by changing the mold.
From the picture below, it can be seen that there are many patterns to choose from for this carbon rod extruder machine
Structure and working principle of charcoal briquette extruder
The charcoal briquette machine is mainly composed of a base, a motor, a reducer, a feed barrel, a screw group, a mold, etc. The motor provides power to drive the screw to rotate at high speed, and the raw materials are continuously pushed to the end of the mold. Finally, under the thrust and extrusion force, the carbon powder is made into briquettes of the same shape and size as the mold.
Wearing parts of charcoal briquette machine
Through the above simple introduction to the charcoal briquette machine’s working principle, we can easily understand that the parts of the charcoal briquette machine that are prone to wear are the parts that extrude the raw materials into shaped briquettes. So the wearing parts of the charcoal briquette extruder are the front spiral, conical barrel, and mold.
How to operate the coal briquettes extruder
Technical Parameters
| Model | Power | Capacity | Briquette diameter | Machine size | Machine weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 140 | 11kW | 400-600 kg/h | 3-5cm | 2*1*1.1m | 700kg |
| 180 | 18.5kW | 800-1000 kg/h | 3-5cm | 2.2*1.2*1.2m | 1200kg |
Charcoal briquettes cutter
If you have requirements for the length of the finished charcoal briquettes, you can consider purchasing an additional auxiliary cutting equipment.
Set the length you need, and the long charcoal rods coming out of the charcoal extruder machine will be cut into exactly the same size charcoal briquettes.
The equipment cuts quickly and neatly, and ultimately you will receive charcoal briquettes that are beautiful in appearance, easy to store and package, and welcome in the market.
Producing cube hookah coals
The charcoal extruder can also be used to produce the cube hookah coals (shisha charcoal).
The cutting equipment here is another bigger type. With the circular cutter and conveyor, it can cut the long square charcoal briquettes into smaller cube size, like 2.5*2.5cm and 2.2*2.2cm.
