Are you a manufacturer or a trader ?
We are a manufacturer, and our main products are hookah charcoal tablet presses, ball briquette presses, charcoal briquette extruder, etc. We have our own technical team that can produce customized products for you according to your requirements.
-
Do I need to add a binder to make charcoal briquettes?
ost biomass requires 3-5% natural binders (e.g., starch, clay). Coal dust may need 5-10% lignosulfonate. Some machines work binder-free with high-pressure extrusion.
-
What raw materials can a charcoal briquette machine process?
It can process biomass waste like sawdust, rice husk, coconut shells, bamboo, and even coal dust. Materials must be ≤3mm in size and 8-12% moisture content.
-
Do you provide after-sales service in Africa?
Yes! We have.
-
What raw materials are NOT suitable for briquetting?
Metal impurities (damage rollers) Oil content >5% (e.g., some biomass waste) Particles >5mm (requires pre-crushing)
-
Can I make hexagonal or oval-shaped briquettes?
Yes! Our machines support custom molds for shapes: Pillow: Standard for BBQ charcoal Hexagon: Popular in Middle East markets Oval: Higher density for industrial use
-
Can the machine process wet charcoal powder?
No. Raw material moisture must be ≤12% for optimal compression. We recommend pairing the machine with a rotary dryer (sold separately) if your charcoal powder is damp.
-
How to reduce maintenance costs of a charcoal briquetting machine?
Use heat-treated alloy steel rollers to resist abrasion Clean residue after daily operation Lubricate bearings every 50 working hours Purchase machines with modular design for easy part replaceme
-
What is the production capacity of a small charcoal briquette machine?
A portable machine produces 300-500 kg/hour, suitable for startups. For large-scale factories, industrial machines reach 2-3 tons/hour.
-
Do I need a binder for charcoal briquetting?
Most charcoal briquette machines require adding 3-5% binder (e.g., starch, clay) to ensure briquette hardness. However, our high-pressure charcoal briquette press (100+ tons) can produce binder-free briquettes if raw material moisture is controlled below 8%.
-
What is a charcoal briquette machine used for?
A charcoal briquette machine compresses charcoal powder, dust, or biomass waste (e.g., sawdust, coconut shells) into uniform briquettes. These briquettes burn longer and cleaner than raw charcoal, widely used for cooking, heating, and industrial fuel in Africa, Southeast Asia, and South America.
-
What warranty do you provide ?
We provide a one-year warranty service (not man-made damage), and lifetime technical service support.
