The barbecue charcoal production line represents a systematic assembly of equipment dedicated to the creation of premium-quality charcoal, specifically designed for barbecuing and grilling purposes.

This intricate process involves the transformation of raw materials into exceptional BBQ charcoal briquettes, renowned for their efficiency and distinct attributes. From carbonization stoves to packing machines, this barbecue charcoal production line seamlessly integrates various components to yield outstanding results.

The complete barbecue charcoal production line mainly includes carbonization, crushing, briquetting, drying, and packaging.

What Is the BBQ Charcoal Briquettes Production Process?

Here’s a general overview of the process involved in a barbecue charcoal production line:

Raw Material Preparation

The first step involves collecting and preparing the raw materials, which are often wood logs, sawdust, bamboo, coconut shells, or other biomass. These materials need to be dried to ensure consistent quality in the final charcoal. In Shuliy Charcoal Machinery Factory, we have a charcoal drying room and rotary sawdust dryer for you to choose from.

Carbonization

Carbonization is the process of heating raw materials in the absence of oxygen to remove volatile components and moisture. This results in the conversion of the organic matter into charcoal. The carbonization process can be carried out in a carbonization stove to control temperature and air supply. At the same time, this step is also the most important step in the barbecue charcoal making process.

Crushing

The collected charcoal needs to be crushed to achieve uniform particle sizes. We need to use a charcoal crushing machine to achieve this step. This step can improve the burning efficiency and consistency of the charcoal.

Mixing and Binding

Depending on the desired characteristics of the final product, binders or additives might be mixed with charcoal. This step can affect factors like burn time and smoke generation. A charcoal powder mixer should be used in this step.

Extrusion or Briquetting

Next comes the most important step – briquetting. The charcoal powder is formed into specific shapes using bbq charcoal briquette press machine. This can make the charcoal easier to handle and use in grills and barbecues. This is also an important step in the BBQ charcoal processing plant. The output of this machine is 1-13t per hour. Therefore, it can meet most of the barbecue charcoal production needs.

Packaging

The final charcoal product is packaged and ready for distribution and sale. We can use a bbq charcoal packaging machine to pack barbecue charcoal.

Generally speaking, the common packaging specifications for barbecue charcoal are bagged BBQ charcoal, boxed BBQ charcoal, bulk charcoal, and tons of charcoal. Our packaging machine can make bagged or boxed barbecue charcoal with a consistent weight according to your needs.

The flexibility of the BBQ charcoal production line is highlighted by its ability to produce briquettes of different shapes. Whether cylindrical, square, or custom designs, our barbecue charcoal production line accommodates various preferences, catering to diverse grilling needs.

The Function of Water and Binder in the BBQ Charcoal Processing Plant

The combination of water and binder is an essential aspect of the process, as it contributes to the cohesion of the raw materials. This mixture facilitates the formation of briquettes in varying shapes and sizes, enhancing their usability and versatility on the grill.

Additives for Making BBQ Charcoal Briquettes

Additives are skillfully incorporated into the mixture to optimize the attributes of the BBQ charcoal briquettes. Tapioca binder and corn flour binder, known for their adhesive qualities, lend structural integrity to the briquettes, ensuring they maintain their shape and functionality throughout the grilling process.

Barbecue Charcoal Production Line Components

The core components of the BBQ charcoal production line play a pivotal role in the creation of superior-quality briquettes.

Barbecue charcoal production line components include raw material handling equipment, carbonization equipment, charcoal crushing and mixing equipment, charcoal forming equipment, drying equipment, and cooling and packaging equipment.

The carbonization stove ensures efficient and controlled carbonization, followed by the charcoal grinder that refines raw materials into fine particles. The charcoal powder mixer seamlessly blends additives, water, and binder, while the BBQ charcoal briquettes machine shapes the mixture into desired forms. The dryer eliminates excess moisture, and the packing machine completes the process by packaging the briquettes securely.
