A bamboo charcoal making machine is designed to convert bamboo biomass into charcoal efficiently. The high-temperature carbonization process takes place inside the machine (máquina de fabricación de carbón de bambú), which provides a controlled environment. As such, the machine converts bamboo into a highly valued product that is used as fuel.

What Is Bamboo Charcoal

Bamboo charcoal is decarbonized bamboo biomass (máquina de fabricación de carbón para la venta). The material is created by heating bamboo material at high temperatures in the absence of oxygen in a process called pyrolysis. This results in the production of charcoal as the main product and flue gas (combustible gas that can be used as fuel for the carbonization process), bamboo vinegar, and tar as valuable by-products.

Bamboo charcoal has found a market as a fuel, especially for cooking such as barbecuing. However, the material also regulates soil moisture, indoor dehumidifiers, purifier, deodorizer, and a natural insecticide. In a nutshell, there is a huge market for carbonized bamboo products, especially bamboo charcoal.

How Bamboo Charcoal Making Machine Makes Bamboo Charcoal

While bamboo charcoal machines (máquina para hacer carbón de madera) come in a wide variety of sizes and complexity, they all operate using the same principles of carbonization. The prepared bamboo is fed through a conveyor belt through a sealed feeding system. At the first stage, the bamboo falls into the first carbonization chamber with a medium temperature zone.

After that, the biomass is fed into the high-temperature zone, wherein pyrolysis occurs. The process causes sulphur release, flue gas volatilization, and carbon enrichment take place. At this stage, the carbonization process is completed.

While the carbonization process is complete, a modern high-efficient bamboo charcoal-making machine will also process the combustible gas. During the carbonization, at the temperature zone of the machine, the process produces a large amount of flue gas. This gas is processed by piping the gas to the cyclone dust collector, which removes dust. This purifies the flue gas and converts it into combustible fuel gas.

The gas is introduced into the furnace as fuel. An automatic ignition system combusts the gas, reducing external fuel input requirements. After that, the exhaust gas is directed to a cyclone dust collector for purification before discharge.

Features Of An Efficient Bamboo Charcoal

Efficient bamboo charcoal will have the following features:

#1. A Pre-Treatment System – The pre-treatment system is designed to prepare the raw bamboo for the carbonization process. To ensure the quality of the charcoal is of the highest standard possible, the raw bamboo needs to have moisture well below 15%, and the sizes of the bamboo material need to be smaller than 20mm. As such, the preparation system will have a dryer and crusher. The dryer will dry the biomass to less than 15% moisture content, and the crasher will shred the material to less than 20mm.

#2. The Carbonization System (máquina carbonizadora) – The carbonization system is the main chamber wherein pyrolysis occurs. Depending on the design, the material will go through multiple chambers, including the pre-heat chamber and carbonization chamber. The pre-heat chamber will heat the material in the preparation of the carbonization process.

Once the material is fed to the carbonization chamber, the temperature rises enough to carbonize the material, release flue gas, vinegar, and tar.

#3. The De-Dusting System – De-dusting system is perfect for eliminating dust from the combustible flue of kiln exhaust gas. De-dusting is a critical step that reduces air pollution and keeping the overall plant operating safely.
