How is wood charcoal prepared on a large scale?

The methods for preparing large-scale charcoal production mainly include dry distillation and gasification. Dry distillation is suitable for the carbonization of organic materials such as wood, while gasification is more suitable for the conversion of mineral fuels such as coal. Therefore, dry distillation is used to prepare large-scale wood charcoal production.The four main steps of large-scale wood charcoal production by the dry distillation way are preparing raw materials, handling raw materials, carbonization process, cooling and sorting wood charcoal. Next, we will introduce the detailed steps required for large-scale wood charcoal production:

1. ‌Raw material preparation‌:

Prepare the raw material for making wood charcoal on a large scale

The first step in preparing large-scale wood charcoal production is to select suitable wood. Different types of wood can produce wood charcoal with different properties. Choose dry wood as raw material, such as branches, sawdust, bamboo chips, etc., or use agricultural waste such as straw, rice husks, peanut shells, walnut shells, etc. If you are making wood charcoal for barbecue purposes, you can choose cherry wood, apple wood, peach wood, etc. The food baked with these woods has a light fruit wood fragrance.

2. Handling raw materials:

Crush the raw materials for making charcoal on a large scale

Crushing the raw materials and use a wood crusher to crush the wood into sawdust less than 2 cm for subsequent processing. For the preparation of large-scale wood charcoal, Henan DOING wood charcoal production machine uses advanced wood crusher to crush the wood, and then sends it to the subsequent wood charcoal making equipment through an automatic conveyor belt, thereby improving the efficiency of wood charcoal making.

3. Carbonization process:

After the wood is crushed and pre-treated, Henan DOING uses dry distillation to treat the wood at high temperature under air-tight conditions. Above is the 3D animated video, which displays the wood charcoal preparation production process. When the wood is heated in this low-oxygen environment, it will gradually turn into wood charcoal. The large-scale wood charcoal preparation production process designed by Henan Doing Company is fully automatic, efficient and energy-saving. The automatic wood charcoal production machine is controlled by a PLC control system, which can reduce excessive manual intervention in the equipment operation and save costs on the one hand, and make the equipment operation and control more precise on the other hand.

4. Cooling and sorting wood charcoal:

After carbonization, the wood charcoal needs to be cooled to prevent spontaneous combustion, usually by natural cooling or rapid cooling using cooling equipment. The cooled wood charcoal needs to be sorted and packaged to ensure product quality.
