Wood Charcoal Briquette

Pressing method for fine raw materials

Charcoal briquettes are small particles of charcoal dust compressed into a single whole. For the production of this type of briquette, a crushed, non-marketable fraction of charcoal is used, which remains during the sorting and packaging of classic charcoal or coals obtained from sawdust that have passed the carbonization process in special drum furnaces. In addition to charcoal, it is possible to make briquettes from various types of carbonized (converted into coal without air access) biological raw materials. For example carbonated straw or husks of various crops. Charcoal briquettes are formed using special presses of various designs, which determine the final size and shape of the resulting briquette. Briquettes are formed and keep their shape due to binders, usually starch or molasses. The organic, natural origin of the binder ensures complete safety of using charcoal briquettes when cooking on the grill. Charcoal briquettes do not contain any harmful substances. Most often, charcoal briquettes in the form of square, round or oval pillows can be found on sale. Such briquettes are made on roller presses and have a number of advantages over conventional charcoal. Charcoal briquettes due to diffusion compression processes have a higher density and, accordingly, a longer time and temperature of combustion than ordinary charcoal. All briquettes are of the same size and approximately the same mass, which ensures uniform temperature over the entire combustion surface.

Charcoal briquettes type pini-kay

Briquette pyrolysis method

Charcoal briquettes are obtained by pyrolysis of finished wood briquettes PINI-KAY. Wood briquettes, which are used as raw materials in this case, are made from waste wood (shavings, sawdust) of hardwood. Raw materials are pressed on extruder presses equipped with specially designed fillers. Binders are not used in the manufacture of wood briquettes, since in this case lignin present in wood acts as such a substance. Pini-kay type wood briquette, as a result of diffusion thermal changes occurring during pressing, has a high density, calorific value and a long burning time. According to these indicators, the pini-key briquette is several times superior to ordinary charcoal.
