What a batch furnace does
A batch carbonization furnace heats sealed material in low-oxygen conditions, driving off moisture and volatiles to leave charcoal. Buyers choose it for coconut shell, wood logs, bamboo and finished briquettes where flexibility and simple operation matter more than continuous throughput.
Key parameters to define
- Material form: raw logs, shell, or pre-formed briquettes.
- Batch volume and target tonnes of charcoal per week.
- Acceptable cycle time (typically 8–24 hours including cooling).
- Fuel for startup heating: wood, gas, LPG or diesel burner.
- Whether combustible gas recycling is required for emission control.
Typical configuration ranges
| Item | Common options | Indicative range |
|---|---|---|
| Inner tank volume | Single tank, multi-tank sets | 1–8 m³ per tank |
| Charcoal yield | By material dryness and density | 25–35% of dry feed |
| Cycle time | Carbonize + cool | 8–24 hours |
| Gas handling | Direct burn-off, recycled to burner | By local emission rules |
Ranges are indicative. Yield varies strongly with feedstock moisture and species.
What a quotation should clarify
| Quotation area | Questions to record |
|---|---|
| Material basis | Which feedstock and moisture is the yield figure based on? |
| Tank count | How many tanks rotate to keep production continuous across cycles? |
| Steel & insulation | Plate thickness, refractory lining and expected service life? |
| Emissions | How are smoke and combustible gas handled at your local standard? |
| Delivery scope | Hoist, rails, burners, spares and installation drawings included? |
