What is the process of making coconut shell charcoal?

Coconut shell charcoal, as an environmentally friendly and efficient fuel, is widely used in many fields such as home barbecue, industrial production and air purification. Although its making process involves multiple steps, each step from raw material preparation to the final product is crucial to ensure the quality and effectiveness of the final product. Next, we will introduce the making process of coconut shell charcoal in detail.

1. Collection of coconut shells

The making of coconut shell charcoal starts with the preparation of coconut shells. First, the collected mature coconut shells must be treated to remove impurities to ensure that they are clean and free of dirt or debris. This step is one of the keys to ensure the quality of coconut shell charcoal, because impure coconut shells may affect the combustion effect and service life of charcoal.

2. Processing of coconut shells

To ensure the best carbonization effect, it is recommended that the moisture content of coconut shell raw materials should be less than 15% and the particle size should be within 30 mm. If the moisture content is too high, the coconut shell can be exposed to the sun for a few days or a mechanical dryer can be used to reduce the moisture content. This step is crucial because high moisture content will hinder the carbonization process. In addition, the coconut shells need to be crushed. The dried coconut shells are crushed into small pieces by using a crusher. The purpose is to increase the surface area and thus improve the carbonization efficiency.

3. Carbonization process

After cleaning and processing, the coconut shell enters the carbonization furnace for high-temperature carbonization. The carbonization process usually occurs in an oxygen-deficient environment at a temperature range of 400°C to 700°C. At this stage, the organic matter in the coconut shell undergoes thermal decomposition, releasing volatile components such as tar, methane and carbon monoxide, and the remaining main component is carbon in the form of charcoal. The flue gas and other by-products generated during the carbonization process need to be effectively collected and treated to reduce pollution to the environment.

The entire reaction process of the coconut shell carbonization machine provided by DOING can recycle volatile gases, and the gases generated by pyrolysis are directly transported to the burner for combustion. Part of the gas is burned and catalyzed, and the remaining gas is heated to continue to provide heat for the carbonization oven and drying furnace. After that, the gases are filtered, cooled, and discharged through the chimney.

4. Cooling and packaging

The temperature of coconut shell charcoal after carbonization is very high, so it is necessary to quickly reduce its temperature to a safe range through a cooling system to prevent spontaneous combustion and ensure safety. After cooling, coconut shell charcoal is generally packaged and stored. In order to ensure that it will not be affected by moisture or external forces, the packaging material is usually packaged with moisture-proof and damage-proof materials.
