Why buyers order the line, not the machine
Sawdust that is too wet blocks the briquette press. A crusher that outruns the dryer leaves material waiting. Each stage of a charcoal line constrains the next, so capacity, moisture and power must be matched across the whole flow before production starts.
Typical line stages
- Crushing: wood, coconut shell, bamboo or straw reduced to 3–5 mm particles.
- Drying: moisture brought down to the 8–12% range that briquetting requires.
- Briquetting: the rod press forms dense fuel briquettes without binder.
- Carbonization: the furnace converts briquettes or raw material to charcoal.
Typical configuration ranges
| Stage | Common options | Indicative capacity |
|---|---|---|
| Crusher | Hammer mill, wood crusher | 300 kg/h – 2 t/h |
| Dryer | Airflow pipe dryer, rotary drum dryer | Matched to press feed rate |
| Briquette press | Screw extrusion rod machine | 150–400 kg/h per unit |
| Furnace | Batch lift-type, continuous rotary | See furnace pages |
Ranges are indicative for planning. Final sizing depends on your material test and duty cycle.
What a quotation should clarify
| Quotation area | Questions to record |
|---|---|
| Feedstock | Which material, size and moisture were assumed at each stage? |
| Balance | Does dryer output match press demand at your working hours per day? |
| Power | Total installed power, phase and voltage for your site? |
| Scope | Conveyors, spark arrestors, ducts, spares and installation guidance included? |
| Yield | What charcoal yield per tonne of feedstock is the design basis? |
