Causes of material blockage during the carbonization process of the continuous carbonization furnace

During the carbonization process of the continuous carbonization furnace, material blockage is a common problem. Material blockage will not only affect the production efficiency of the carbonization furnace, but may also damage the equipment and even cause safety accidents. Next, the reasons for material blockage during the carbonization process of the continuous carbonization furnace will be analyzed from multiple angles:

Material blockage causes in continuous carbonization furnace

1. High material humidity

If the humidity of the material entering the carbonization furnace is high, during the carbonization process, the water may evaporate and cause the material to stick together, which is easy to cause blockage. For example, biomass raw materials such as sugarcane leaves enter the carbonization furnace without being fully dried. The water vaporizes at high temperature, making the material sticky, thus causing the passage in the carbonization furnace to be blocked.

2. Uneven material particles

When the size of the material particles varies greatly, small particles may fill the gaps between large particles. As the carbonization process of the carbonization furnace proceeds, they gradually form a tight stack, leading to blockage. For example, the crushed biomass materials contain both large lumps and fine powders, which are easy to accumulate and block at the feed inlet or narrow parts of the carbonization furnace.

3. Too fast feeding speed

During the operation of the continuous carbonization furnace, if the feeding speed exceeds the processing capacity of the equipment, the material will not be fully carbonized and discharged in the carbonization furnace in time, and will accumulate in the furnace, causing blockage. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid blindly increasing the feeding amount in order to improve production efficiency, resulting in too much material in the carbonization furnace, thereby blocking the channel.

4. Carbonization furnace equipment failure

When the transmission parts and discharging devices of the carbonization furnace fail, it may also cause material blockage. For example, damage to the blades of the screw conveyor and breakage of the transmission chain will prevent the material from being transported normally and accumulate in the carbonization furnace.

5. Uneven temperature in the carbonization furnace

When the temperature distribution in the carbonization furnace is uneven, some materials may agglomerate due to excessive heating, or fail to fully carbonize due to low temperature, thereby blocking the furnace channel. For example, local damage to the heating element or poor ventilation will lead to large temperature differences in the furnace, affecting the normal carbonization and flow of the material, and causing material blockage.
