Charcoal briquette machine serves as a powerful tool to improve the added value of charcoal/biochar. It processes loose charcoal/biochar into compact, high-density charcoal briquettes. This endows the charcoal/biochar with high-energy density and makes it easier to transport, store, and use. This machine offers a satisfactory commercial option for both producers and consumers. Welcome to know more about Beston Group’s charcoal briquette production line.
Charcoal Briquette Machine: Auxiliary Part for Biochar Machine
Generally, raw biochar often comes in powder form or samll particles/slices. Charcoal briquette making machine compresses biochar powder into uniform briquettes for better to use. This machine typically serves as an auxiliary component at the end of biochar machine.
Note: the machine is also known as charcoal briquette press machine, charcoal powder briquette machine, charcoal briquette extruder machine, etc.
Carbonization + Briquetting Solution at Beston Group
Beston Group has integrated the charcoal briquette maker as part of the innovative “Carbonization + Briquetting” production line. This system produces high-quality biochar through biomass pyrolysis/carbonization technology and enhances its value with briquetting technology. The image below shows how the charcoal briquette machine complements the biochar machine to deliver a complete, efficient, and sustainable solution. Now you know its auxiliary function.
Benefit of Compressing Charcoal into Briquettes
Compressing charcoal/biochar into briquettes offers numerous advantages that enhance its usability, and marketability. Both producers and consumers can enjoy a more efficient, convenient, and sustainable energy solution. Contact us for charcoal briquette machine price.
Increased Energy Density
Charcoal briquettes have a more compact structure, allowing for higher energy output per unit volume compared to loose charcoal. This means that less briquette material is needed to achieve the same amount of heat, making them a more efficient fuel source.
Uniform Size and Shape
Charcoal briquettes are produced in consistent sizes and shapes, which ensures uniform burning. This uniformity improves combustion efficiency and makes it easier to control the temperature during cooking or heating processes.
Ease of Handling and Storage
The compact form of charcoal briquettes makes them easier to handle and store. Briquettes are tidy and can be stacked neatly. This reduces transportation and storage costs and minimizes the risk of spillage or breakage.
Better Market Opportunities
High-quality charcoal briquettes are very suitable for BBQ, shisha, and more applications. This makes them attractive to consumers, opening up new market opportunities for producers and providing diverse revenue streams.
Convenience for Consumers to Use
The compact shape and uniform quality of charcoal briquettes make them easy to use, handle, and control. This convenience is valuable for customer’s indoor and outdoor use.
Reduce Charcoal Powder Waste
Compressing charcoal into briquettes can help to reduce waste. This is because it allows you to use up all of the charcoal powder, including the smaller pieces that would otherwise be unusable.
3 Essential Elements for Charcoal Briquette Production
Charcoal Powder
This is the primary component of charcoal briquettes, providing the bulk and the energy content. The charcoal powder is typically obtained from pyrolysis of various biomass, such as wood, sawdust, agricultural straws, rice hulls, palm kernel shells, coconut shells, or other biomass materials.
Adhesive
The adhesive acts as a glue to hold the charcoal powder together. It ensures that the charcoal briquettes remain intact during handling and burning. Common adhesives include starch, clay, or natural gums.
Additive ratio: The proportion of plant-based adhesives added is about 10% – 13%. The proportion of chemical adhesives added is about 3% – 5%. (According to different materials, the amount added is different.)
Water
Water is used to mix the charcoal powder and adhesive, creating a workable paste. It helps shape the charcoal briquettes and ensures that the adhesive is properly distributed throughout the mixture.
Additive ratio: The water ratio ranges from 28% to 32%. (Molding sticks require a higher moisture content while pressing balls require less moisture.)
How to Make Charcoal Briquettes?
If you purchase Beston Group’s “carbonization + briquetting” production line, you’ll find the production process quite easy. Workers follow these steps to produce high-quality charcoal briquettes:
01 Check Charcoal Powder Preparation
Biochar pyrolysis equipment produces a large amount of biochar powder. The discharge system transports the biochar to the feed hopper of the charcoal briquetting machine. Please ensure the biochar powder is the correct size for the charcoal briquette machine.
02 Add Adhesive and Water
03 Monitor the Process
04 Inspect Briquette Output

Some Considerations to Know about Charcoal Briquette Maker
Beston Group does not sell charcoal briquette machine alone but sells it in conjunction with carbonization production lines.
Biomass raw materials cannot be molded first and then carbonized. This process does not meet the feeding requirements.
After each production cycle, promptly clean any remaining charcoal powder and adhesive. Long-term residue can cause uneven charcoal production.
