Charcoal making machine converts biomass waste into charcoal in a high-temperature, oxygen-free environment. This technology promotes resource recycling and drives the development of the circular economy. In today’s context of increasing emphasis on sustainable development, it offers significant potential and prospects for reducing environmental burden and achieving green production.
Charcoal Making Machine: Carbonization + Charcoal Briquetting Solution
1. Carbonization System

How Does A Beston Charcoal Making Machine Work?
01 Pretreatment
Before carbonization, the biomass must meet specific feeding requirements:
- Moisture content: ≤ 15%
- Particle size: ≤ 20 mm (ideally 5–8 mm)
If the biomass exceeds these limits, a dryer or crusher is required to adjust the moisture and particle size.
02 Feeding
03 Carbonization
Using traditional fuels (such as coal, wood, and natural gas) to heat the reactor for 60-90 minutes.
- At around 150°C, the biomass begins to decompose into gases such as CO₂ and CO.
- At around 350°C, continuous formation of charcoal powder begins. The carbonization process typically lasts 15–25 minutes.
- After about 30 minutes, a large amount of syngas is produced, which can be recycled for heating the biochar reactor.
04 Syngas Recycling
The generated syngas is purified and reused to heat the reactor. This self-sustaining recycling system reduces external fuel consumption and significantly improves energy efficiency.
05 Cooling & Discharging
06 Dedusting
The dedusting system (cyclone dust remover, spray dust collector, etc.) removes harmful components such as sulfur from the flue gas. After treatment, the emission meets EU environmental standards.
07 Charcoal Briquetting
International Standard Assurance | ISO & CE Certified

Modern Charcoal Machine vs Earthen Kiln: Enjoying Greater Policy Advantages
Easier Environmental Compliance & Regulatory Approval
Earthen kilns are mostly open or semi-enclosed, leading to incomplete combustion and heavy smoke emissions. As a result, they are facing increasing government restrictions.
Modern charcoal making machines meet clean production standards and green industry policies. Its efficient and sustainable operating mode increases the chances of obtaining environmental approvals, emission permits, and market access.
Greater Access to Government Funding Support
Earthen kilns are inefficient, energy-intensive, and highly polluting. Such projects struggle to secure government subsidies and may face phase-out policies, rectification measures, or carbon emission penalties.
Modern charcoal making equipment follows the principles of circular economy, energy conservation, and carbon reduction. Such projects are more likely to receive financial support, such as grants, tax incentives, and green loans. This helps reduce investment costs, improve cash flow, and ensure long-term returns.
Better for Occupational and Community Health
Traditional charcoal kilns generate dense smoke during carbonization. Workers exposed over long periods are prone to respiratory and other health problems, while the emitted fumes and odors also degrade the living quality of nearby residents.
Modern charcoal production machines operate in enclosed conditions with flue-gas purification, significantly improving occupational safety and community air quality, and fostering a cleaner, more responsible industrial ecosystem.
