Introduction to Mechanism Bamboo Charcoal

Bamboo charcoal is made of bamboo powder and bamboo chips as the main raw materials. It is dried in a drying furnace to become standard raw materials with appropriate humidity. After cooling, it enters the forming machine (rod making machine), and then is plasticized at high temperature and high pressure to form firewood sticks (semi-finished products). It is carbonized at high temperature in a carbonization furnace (the form of carbonization furnace is varied and generally brick and soil) to become finished bamboo charcoal. According to the different temperature increases, it is divided into high-temperature charcoal, medium-temperature charcoal, and low-temperature charcoal. Compared with wood charcoal, in addition to the advantages of environmental protection, high energy, cleanliness and hygiene, bamboo charcoal has the characteristics of high temperature, low ash content, burning resistance, and no ignition when dripping oil.

High temperature bamboo charcoal

 

High-quality high-temperature charcoal is made by smelting in a high-temperature furnace. It is hard and heavy when touched by hand. It can sink in water and make a steel sound when knocked. It has a high carbon content, low volatile matter and ash content, no flame when burning, and a burning resistance that is 3 times that of low-temperature charcoal and 2 times that of medium-temperature charcoal. It can burn for 5-6 hours. It is suitable for all occasions where charcoal is used, especially for high-end barbecue and export. Relatively speaking, the refining process is also more complicated.

 

Medium temperature bamboo charcoal

 

Medium temperature charcoal barbecue charcoal has a tighter texture than low temperature charcoal, and its carbon content is slightly higher than low temperature charcoal. It feels "heavy" when you pick it up with your hand. It is mainly used for home grilling, outdoor barbecue, grilled fish, soup in restaurants, grilled lamb chops, grilled pancakes, etc. In addition, it can also be used in industry and agriculture, heating and hot pot, etc. Medium temperature charcoal ignites slightly slower than low temperature charcoal, and the burning time is 4-5 hours. Medium temperature charcoal can meet the needs of most people for charcoal, and it is the best-selling among the machine-made bamboo charcoal.

 

Low temperature bamboo charcoal

 

Low-temperature charcoal has a loose texture, low carbon content, and poor mechanical strength. It feels light when weighed by hand. It is mainly used in industry and agriculture (such as silicon smelting plants), heating and hot pot, and can also be used to imitate roast duck and roast goose. , low-temperature charcoal has the characteristics of quick fire, smokeless, small flame, and burning time of 2-3 hours. Because low-temperature charcoal has a low ignition point, the outlet is dangerous. It is necessary to fully cool down the charcoal when it comes out of the kiln, and the moisture content must be strictly controlled.
