What is the density of charcoal produced by briquette machine?

Charcoal is an indispensable product in people's life, which is not only widely used in the fields of metallurgy, chemical industry, medicine, environmental protection, but also popular in the civil fields such as food barbecue, hot pot and heating. However, with the increasing efforts of the state to stop deforestation and the improvement of people's awareness of environmental protection, the output of natural charcoal is becoming less and less, and the charcoal produced by briquette machine for replacing natural charcoal is getting more and more attention from users.

Briquette machine is the special equipment for making charcoal. The raw materials for the production of briquette machine are cheap and inexhaustible. They can be bamboo, wood sawdust, peanut shell, corn stick, bagasse, cotton stalk, corn stalk, rice husk, tree branches and other crop wastes. The raw material is pulverized into particles within 10mm by the wood crusher, and the moisture content is less than 12% after being dried by the dryer. After being molded by the straw briquette machine through high temperature and high pressure (without any additives), briquettes produced are put into the carbonizing furnace for carbonization. Then, the charcoal is formed. The charcoal produced by briquette machine has high density, small volume and good flammability. It can be used to replace firewood and coal. Generally, the outer diameter of charcoal is 50-60mm and the aperture is 15-20mm. The carbon content is more than 85%, and the heat value is up to 8000 calories.
 
The density of charcoal produced by wood briquette machine has a direct connection with the quality of it. The molding principle of briquette machine is simple. The motor drives the propeller rotating in high-speed. Materials are pushed into the sleeve by the screw of propeller. Under high temperature of the sleeve, the lignin content of the material softens and the adhesive force also strengthen that briquettes are formed with the extrusion of head screw of the propeller.
 
KMEC is a professional manufacturer in the production of briquette machine. The density of charcoal produced by our briquette machine can be more than 1.1, which can easily sink into the water. The density is much higher than that of the logs. In other words, the heat of the charcoal produced by the briquette machine is much higher than that of the original charcoal.
