How to Make Charcoal from Bamboo
Here we present you the general process of a continuous bamboo charcoal making machine making charcoal from bamboo. Or you can visit YouTube for a 3D video presentation.
3. Pyrolysis: Heat the pyrolysis reactor for 60-90 minutes. In the hypoxic reactor, organic elements in bamboo undergo themal decomposition, forming charcoal within 15-25 minutes. The process mainly involves three steps:
- Step 1- Dehydrate: Remove internal water;
- Step 2- Demethylation: Remove H2、CH4、C2H6、CO and other mixed gases. Some of the combustible gases, after undergoing cyclone dust removal, water seal purification, and condensation, are recycled back into the combustion chamber to heat the main furnace.
- Step 3- Volatile release: Remove MeOH, C2H4, tar, and other substances.
Testing Report of Bamboo Charcoal
To provide a clearer overview of the quality of our final bamboo charcoal, we utilize Chinese bamboo as raw material, employing our machinery for charcoal production, and subjecting the product to testing by a third-party authoritative organization. The report reveals that the ultimate bamboo charcoal has a calorific value exceeding 5500 kcal/kg. In comparison to traditional materials, bamboo charcoal proves to be more efficient, releasing a greater amount of energy per unit volume or weight of fuel. Therefore, investing in our bamboo charcoal production machinery ensures you acquire a sustainable, efficient, and highly promising production tool, yielding substantial returns for your business.

Diverse applications of Bamboo Charcoal
Bamboo charcoal possesses advantages such as easy ignition, stable combustion, minimal pollution, excellent adsorption properties, and a lack of irritating odors. These qualities make it widely applicable across various industries.
Other application:
- BBQ charcoal and Hookah charcoal: Bamboo charcoal ignites easily, burns consistently, and has a pleasant aroma. So it is suitable to serve as barbecue charcoal and hookah charcoal.
- Carbon sequestration: Bamboo charcoal, as a form of fixed carbon with a slow decomposition rate, serves as a means of carbon sequestration. It slows down the release of carbon into the atmosphere.
- Metal smelting reducing agent: Bamboo charcoal can be used as a chemical reducing agent in metal smelting.
- Feed additive: Bamboo charcoal exhibits excellent adsorption capabilities, effectively absorbing harmful substances in feed. When mixed with feed, bamboo charcoal can also regulate the gastrointestinal tract of animals, promoting livestock growth.
Choose the Right Bamboo Charcoal Making Machine for You
As the key equipment for charcoal production, the production of bamboo charcoal is naturally inseparable from the bamboo charcoal machine. Customers can choose the appropriate type according to their own production needs.

3D Presentation of Bamboo Charcoal Machine
Bamboo Charcoal Making Machine Pyrolysis vs Kiln Firing
- Principle: It uses anaerobic carbonization technology, so it is also called as carbonization machine. Carbonization furnace is the main equipment; it is heated by residual smoke in the pipeline, which can save the amount of fuel investment costs.
- Oil yield: over 30%, stable;
- Reaction time: 7-9h;
- Capacity: large;
- Automation: usually automated
- Control: accurate PLC control;
- Principle: bamboo is placed inside earthen kilns and subjected to controlled heating in an oxygen-limited environment. The kilns are typically constructed from locally sourced clay or earth. It employs a direct heating method using fuel (wood), where the heat generated by the combustion of the fuel at the kiln entrance rises to the top of the kiln and then diffuses into the kiln.
- Capacity: relatively smaller;
- Oil yield: about 20%, unstable;
- Reaction time: 25-30d;
- Automation: low;
- Capacity: relatively smaller;
- Control: By worker’s experience;
