Biomass carbonization machine (also called biomass pyrolysis plant) is used to dispose of biomass waste like wood chips, coconut shells, rice husks, plant stalks, peach nuclear, etc. Now Beston Group offers advanced carbonizer machine for all customers interested in this application. It can bring great benefits to investors. Next, please read on to learn more details.
Carbonization Machine – Turn Waste Biomass into Things of Value
Annually, the world generates a staggering 140 billion metric tons of biomass waste. This presents significant management problems. This is because discarded biomass can have negative environmental impacts, such as soil and water pollution. Now carbonization technology offers a sustainable solution to this biomass waste challenge. Through a high-temperature and low-oxygen pyrolysis process, the machine turns useless biomass waste into useful biochar, syn-gas, wood vinegar, and tar. This not only reduces environmental damage but also creates economic value. The innovation will play a vital role in tackling waste-related challenges and advancing a more sustainable and circular economy.

Available Raw Materials That Carbonization Machine Can Process
At present, biochar production equipment for sale is more used to process waste biomass from agriculture and forestry and organic biomass composition from sewage sludge. More details are given below.
- Biomass waste: including coconut shells, fruit husks, and bagasse from the food processing industry; empty fruit bunch(EFB) and palm shells from the palm-related industries; bamboo, sawdust, and wood chips from the gardening and wood processing industry; plant straws, rice husks, and elephant grass from agriculture.
- Organic elements of sewage sludge: including organic elements from civil sludge, municipal sludge, and industrial sludge.
End Products and Their Distribution Proportion
Carbonizing machine can produce several valuable end products from organic materials. These end products include biochar, wood vinegar, tar, and syngas. Please read on for more information.
Biochar is the primary product of wood charcoal making machine. It is a carbon-rich, porous material produced through the pyrolysis of biomass. The biochar is widely used as fuel in industries and daily life. It can be also used for soil restoration, carbon sequestration, and carbon credits. Moreover, it can be used in animal husbandry for feeding and environmental management
Wood vinegar, also known as wood pyroligneous acid or wood tar, is a byproduct of the pyrolysis process. It is a dark, liquid substance with a pungent odor. Wood vinegar has various applications, including as a natural pesticide, plant growth enhancer, and as an ingredient in cosmetics and traditional medicine.
Tar is another byproduct of the pyrolysis process. It is typically a thick, sticky substance. It has various industrial uses, such as in road construction, roofing, or as a binder in the production of charcoal briquettes.
Syngas typically contain a combination of carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen (H2), methane (CH4), and other trace gases. Usually, syngas produced in the pyrolysis process are directly used to heat the reactor. It can be also collected and processed to produce fuels like synthetic natural gas or liquid biofuels.
| Raw materials | End products | Proportion |
| Raw materials with 10% moisture content | biochar | 30% |
| Wood vinegar | 56% | |
| tar | 8% | |
| syngas | 2% | |
| water | 2% | |
| dust | 2% |
Note: If you want to calculate the approximate biochar yield, you can use the following method.
For 1 ton of biomass, if the moisture content is 10%, the biochar yield is approximately 33.3%. If the moisture content exceeds 30%, you can get the biochar yield by subtracting the weight of the moisture from the original material and dividing it by three.
Working Process of Carbonization Equipment – Recycling Biomass Waste
Here outlines the process of how biomass carbonization machine recycle biomass waste to make charcoal. You can either read for more information or visit YouTube to gain a deeper understanding.
- Raw material pretreatment: Biomass raw materials are processed through processes such as drying and crushing to meet the requirements for machine feeding.
- Feeding and preheating: After pretreatment, biomass raw materials are fed into the pyrolysis furnace either manually or automatically. Then, heat the furnace for about 60-90 minutes.
- Pyrolysis reaction: At a high temperature of 380℃to 450℃, the low-oxygen biochar reactor releases volatile substances of biomass. At the same time, the reactor retains the solid carbon part to form biochar.
- Cooling and collection: After the pyrolysis process, biochar enters the cooling zone and is collected after cooling to below 45 ℃.
Note: Biochar production is complex and involves many other processes, such as waste gas treatment and temperature control requirements. It is necessary to analyze and adjust the process according to the specific situation.
