Wood charcoal making machine is mainly used to process the wood into biochar. Biochar is widely used in daily life (BBQ, fuel), agriculture, and industry. Therefore, making charcoal from wood is worthy of investment. You can make great profits from the business. Beston has specialized in researching and developing carbonization machine for many years. We will provide high-quality machine for you.
Wood Raw Materials for Charcoal Production
Each year, approximately 15 million tons of wood waste are generated globally, yet less than 20% is effectively utilized. Before recycling wood waste into charcoal, please know which types of wood are suitable for wood pyrolysis plant.
Raw Wood from Planting and Logging
- Wood trunk
- Wood branches
- Wood barks
Source: typically from forest farms.
Wood Processing Scraps
- Wood chips,
- Wood shavings
- Sawdust
Source: sawmills, furniture manufacturers, etc.
Wood Materials Not Suit Pyrolysis to Charcoal
Certain wood materials are not ideal for the pyrolysis process due to their size, composition, and physical properties:
- Too Small, Too Light and Thin: These materials have poor fluidity and are prone to pile up in the screw feeder.
- Excessive Dust or Powder: These materials can block pipes and affect the quality of the charcoal produced.

How to Make Charcoal from Wood?
01 Prepare the Wood
To start, keep the wood into pieces sized 5-8mm and reduce its moisture content to below 15%. Beston Group provides crusher and dryers to help you meet these requirements efficiently.
02 Wood Pyrolysis Reaction
Automatic screw belt conveyor feed the prepared wood into the reactor, a sealed low-oxygen environment.
At temperatures between 380℃- 450℃, it causing the volatile substances in the wood to release while retaining the solid carbonaceous material, which forms charcoal.
03 Syngas Recovery and Flue Gas Dedusting
During wood pyrolysis process, the generated flue gas contains rich combustible syngas. After purification, the syngas are reused as a heat source to power the main furnace. Waste flue gas after multiple dedusting will be safely emitted.

Key Applications of Wood Biochar: in Carbon Removal and Fuel Fields
I. Carbon Removal Field
Soil Improvement: Decarbonization in Agriculture
By incorporating biochar into the soil, it can:
- store carbon stabily in soil; generates carbon credits that can be traded
- improve soil structure and nutrient content
Specific Application Scope: Farms, plantations, and forestry areas.
Biochar Animal Feed: Decarbonization of Animal Husbandry
Research has shown that adding biochar to animal feed can reduce methane emissions from cattle stomachs by 10% to 20%. Biochar works in the following ways:
- optimize the digestive process of ruminants, thereby reducing methane production in the gastrointestinal tract.
- adsorb and remove harmful substances from the feed, improving animal health.
Building Material: Decarbonization of Construction
Wood-based biochar is increasingly being used in the construction industry as part of carbon-negative building materials. Its use in sustainable construction provides multiple advantages:
- Biochar’s ability to store carbon for long periods helps reduce the overall carbon footprint of construction materials.
- By incorporating biochar, building materials can become more environmentally friendly, contributing to a more sustainable construction sector.
Act as reducing agent: Decarbonization of Metal Smelting
Biochar also plays a key role in the metal smelting industry by acting as a reducing agent in the extraction of metals. Here’s how it works:
- Biochar, particularly charcoal derived from it, has a high carbon content. It captures oxygen molecules from metal ores, helping to reduce metal oxides into pure metals in the smelting process.
- By replacing fossil fuels traditionally used in metal smelting, biochar helps lower the carbon emissions associated with metal production, contributing to decarbonization of this energy-intensive industry.
I. Fuel Field
Industrial Fuel Energy
Wood charcoal, with excellent combustion characteristics, is a sustainable energy source for industrial production. It reduces reliance on traditional fuels and lowers carbon emissions.
Specific application scenarios: Energy-consuming industries like power plants, boilers
Hookah/BBQ Charcoal Processing
High-quality charcoal produced using briquette machines is ideal for hookah and barbecue purposes, offering excellent flavor for cooking and leisure activities.
Specific application scenarios: Parties, picnics, etc.
Efficient/Safe/Eco-friendly – Superiorities of Beston Wood to Charcoal Machine
- The carbonization machine to process wood employs a dual-layer cylinder body and a double-return heating structure. This ensures that the wood materials inside the main furnace are thoroughly heated, thus increasing carbonization efficiency.
- Our system incorporates a rigorous insulation system, ensuring that wood does not come into contact with smoke and remains uncontaminated by hot gases. This design minimizes heat loss, enhancing thermal efficiency to the maximum.
- The unique low nitrogen combustion design can increase combustion efficiency.
- The triple-sealing design and closed-air feeding design ensure the airtightness of the biochar reactor.
- The automatic igniter with a long open flame device can reduce the risk of manual machine operation by workers.
- The explosion-proof device at the end of the reactor prevents big explosions.
- The PLC electric cabinet device with an automatic alarm ensures the temperature is within the normal range.
- The charcoal making machine for wood chips will not generate any residue. Because there is no additives and chemicals in the wood charcoal making process, and its products also contain no waste. Our charcoal machines will create more profits even through the smallest scale.
- The superior charcoal will not generate the waste liquid because it doesn’t need water in the whole production process, and will never cause water pollution, needless to say, the waste liquid.
- The charcoal from wood will not generate waste gas; almost each production part merely can produce steam and a small part of combustible gas, so wood carbonization equipment usually has no air pollution.
