How to make charcoal from coconut shell？

Coconut shell charcoal is favored for its excellent combustion efficiency, low ash content and environmental protection characteristics. As the global industry transforms to sustainable production, coconut shell charcoal has great commercial potential. Next, we will introduce the process of coconut shell to charcoal in detail, including raw material pretreatment, carbonization, cooling and post-processing, to help you start or expand production.

1. Raw material pretreatment of coconut shell charcoal

Pretreatment requirements:

Moisture content: less than 20%. Too high moisture content will lead to incomplete carbonization. Doing provides coconut shell crushers and dryers. The moist coconut shells are fed into the biomass dryer to reduce the moisture content to below 15%-20%.

Size: Crushed to less than 30 mm to ensure uniform heating and carbonization efficiency. The dryer uses the hot air generated by the carbonization furnace to dry the coconut shells, which can save up to 30% of energy costs compared with traditional methods.

2. Carbonization process of coconut shell

The pretreated coconut shells are fed into a continuous carbonization furnace for efficient pyrolysis in an oxygen-free environment at 400-600℃, converting more than 95% of the coconut shells into charcoal. The remaining combustible gas is collected and reused to reduce fuel costs. The entire coconut shell carbonization process is automatically controlled, and the temperature and airflow are digitally monitored to maintain the optimal coconut shell carbonization temperature.

3. Post-processing of coconut shell charcoal

The carbonized charcoal is in a high temperature state and is cooled by a circulating water cooling system to prevent the coconut shell charcoal from self-igniting. After cooling, Biochar briqutte machine that can turn the charcoal into various shapes that can be sold. The final product is packaged and sold in the form of lump charcoal, cylindrical charcoal blocks or activated carbon raw materials.

4. Advantages of coconut shell charcoal equipment

Coconut shell charcoal equipment advantages

Economical and efficient: The entire coconut shell carbonization equipment production line starts at as low as US$210,000, which is 30-50% cheaper than European brands.

International certification: DOING carbonization equipment is CE, ISO and SGS certified to ensure compliance with international standards.

High quality: The carbonization furnace is made of Q345R material or stainless steel, with a service life of more than 8 years, and can withstand the high temperature of coconut shell carbonization for a long time.

Environmentally friendly operation: The use of smokeless carbonized coconut shell meets the environmental protection standards of countries such as the European Union, India, the United States, Thailand, and the Netherlands, and the closed-loop system achieves zero wastewater discharge.
