How to Make Charcoal Briquetting?
- Uniform Feeding: Charcoal powder is evenly transported to the extrusion system via a screw feeder, ensuring consistent raw material supply.
- High-Pressure Forming: As the rollers rotate, they complete press briquetting by squeezing the charcoal powder into the cavity of the briquette molder, relying on internal friction and pressure to bond particles.
- Forming & Discharging: The compressed material maintains shape after exiting the die, forming solid briquettes with the desired shape, a core step in the charcoal making process.

Customer Application Cases
An Indonesian charcoal factory
Deployed 2 sets of our 800 kg/h machine, processing one ton of charcoal powder into coconut briquettes daily. The products are exported to Singapore and Malaysia, generating $200,000 annual profit.
A German biomass fuel company
Uses our 1200 kg/h model to produce cylindrical wood briquette from beechwood charcoal powder, complying with biomass briquettes manufacturing process standards. The briquettes supply local industrial boilers, reducing coal consumption by 35%.
A Nigerian charcoal cooperative
Three 500 kg/hour machines are operating to process mixed charcoal powder (containing a 4% clay binder) into cylindrical briquettes (40 mm in diameter). These briquettes are sold to rural households and small restaurants, with monthly sales reaching 25 tons.
FAQ for Charcoal Briquette Machine
This charcoal briquetting machine can not only press pure charcoal powder, but also various biomass charcoal powders, such as bamboo charcoal, straw charcoal, and coconut shell charcoal.
Only need to replace the molding die — no other parts need adjustment. The die is fixed with 6–8 bolts, and replacement takes 30–60 minutes (2 workers can complete it). We provide matching dies for different shapes/sizes, with customized options available.
The optimal humidity is 8%-12%. Excessively high humidity can cause the charcoal rods to break easily, stick to the mold, or even prevent molding. Excessively low humidity can result in a loose and rough surface. It is recommended to use a moisture meter to test the moisture content of the raw materials in advance.
Usually, no binder is required. The machine achieves bonding through the pressure of the screw extruder and a small amount of lignin in the raw materials (which softens upon heating). If the raw materials have very poor bonding properties (for example, pure coconut shell charcoal powder), a small amount of starch or clay (no more than 5%) can be added.
It’s simple to operate, requiring no extensive training. New machines come with an instruction manual. The core steps are limited to three: 1. Adjusting the raw material moisture; 2. Starting the machine and preheating (required for some models); 3. Maintaining a constant feed rate. A skilled worker can master this in 1-2 hours.
We provide a one-year warranty on the entire machine (molds, screws, and other consumable parts are generally covered for 3-6 months). During the warranty period, parts damaged by non-human factors will be replaced free of charge. Our after-sales response time is typically within 24 hours.
How to Buy Charcoal Briquetting Machine?
Select the appropriate charcoal briquetting machine model based on your production scale and expected output. Also, consider the specifications of the charcoal bars you want to produce. Common options include round bars with a diameter of 6-12mm and square bars with a diameter of 10×10mm-12×12mm. Ensure the machine can meet your specifications.
Different machines have different raw material compatibility requirements. A high-quality charcoal powder molding machine can process not only pure wood charcoal but also various biomass charcoal powders, such as bamboo charcoal, straw charcoal, and coconut shell charcoal. Additionally, understand the machine’s requirements for raw material moisture and particle size.
The quality of the machine’s core components, such as the screw, mold, and molding barrel, is crucial. The screw and mold should be made of wear-resistant materials, such as alloy steel, to ensure longevity. The molding barrel should be designed appropriately to ensure smooth, well-formed charcoal bars.
The energy consumption of the molding machine directly affects production costs. Pay attention to the machine’s power and energy consumption per unit of output. While ensuring both output and quality, choose a machine with appropriate power and low energy consumption.
It is crucial to choose a manufacturer with excellent after-sales service. Find out whether the manufacturer offers a full machine warranty, how long the warranty lasts, and whether the warranty period for consumable parts is reasonable. The manufacturer’s after-sales response speed is also crucial.
The prices of screw extrusion charcoal powder molding machines on the market vary widely, ranging from a few thousand yuan to tens of thousands of yuan. Don’t just base your selection on price; consider the machine’s quality, performance, after-sales service, and other factors.
