Emissions Comply with EU Standards
Equipped with a high-efficiency gas treatment system, BST-50S achieves particulate matter, N₂O, and CH₄ emissions that are below regulatory limits.
Technical Breakthrough: 720 Hours of Continuous Operation
The BST-50S sawdust wood charcoal making machine has achieved a major milestone in pyrolysis system integration and design. This enables stable and continuous operation for up to 720 hours (30 days)—a leading performance in the industry. The following core technologies drive this breakthrough:
Sealed Combustion Chamber
Improved furnace structure and sealing design effectively reduce heat loss and prevent gas leakage, ensuring a stable reaction environment for long-term operation.
Fully Insulated Pipeline Design
Key pipelines are wrapped with multi-layer thermal insulation materials to prevent the condensation of tar and wood vinegar on pipe walls. This minimizes the risks of blockage.
Nitrogen Purging System
Nitrogen purging is applied at critical process points to prevent high-temperature dust accumulation and pipe blockage, thereby extending continuous runtime.

Common Sources of Sawdust
Sawdust (or wood dust) is a by-product or waste product of woodworking operations such as sawing, sanding, milling and routing. It is composed of very small chips of wood. Here are some common sources of sawdust:

Sawmills
These facilities process logs into lumber, producing sawdust as a by-product during cutting and trimming operations.

Board Mills
Such factories produce products such as plywood and particleboard. A large amount of sawdust is generated during the molding process.

Furniture Manufacturers
This industry generates sawdust during the cutting, shaping, and finishing of wood to create furniture.
How to Make Charcoal from Sawdust?
01 Pretreatment
02 Feeding
03 Pyrolysis
- Drying Stage: From ignition until the reactor reaches 150°C, moisture in the sawdust evaporates, with little change in its chemical structure.
- Carbonization Stage: The reactor temperature rises to 160°C–450°C, causing sawdust decomposition, which transforms into charcoal.
04 Syngas Recycling
05 Cooling Discharging
06 Exhaust Gas Treatment
Applications of Sawdust Charcoal: Long-term Market Potential

Carbon Sink
Sawdust charcoal can locks carbon into the soil for extended periods, effectively reducing greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere. This aspect aligns with global efforts to mitigate climate change.

Soil Conditioner
In agriculture, sawdust biochar added to soil can improve soil fertility by increasing nutrient retention and water-holding capacity. It also promotes healthy microbial activity in the soil, which contributes to better crop yields.

Building Materials
Sawdust charcoal is also utilized in the production of building materials. It can be incorporated into concrete and other construction materials to enhance their properties, such as thermal insulation and durability.

Metal Reductant
In metallurgy, sawdust charcoal serves as a reductant in the extraction of metals from ores. It provides a cost-effective and efficient solution for reducing metal oxides to their base forms.

Feed Additive
Sawdust charcoal can be used as an additive in animal feed. It helps to improve digestion and reduce gastrointestinal issues in livestock. Additionally, its absorptive properties can help in removing toxins from the animal’s system.

Fuel Alternative
Sawdust charcoal is an excellent alternative to traditional fossil fuels. It is an appealing option for use in domestic heating, BBQ, and industrial factories.
