How Hot Can A Charcoal Furnace Get？

Charcoal production usually includes: drying, charring and cooling. The charring temperature will be different in each production stage. In the process of mechanism charcoal production, continuous carbonisation furnace is an important equipment. Charcoal furnace is a kind of equipment that converts organic materials into carbonaceous products. Its core process is the carbonisation process. Depending on the raw material, the charring temperature and time are different. The temperature control of the charcoal furnace is the key factor to determine the charring efficiency and the quality of the finished charcoal.

Drying process: the raw materials need to be dried and dried first. It can remove the moisture in the raw material. The temperature of drying stage is usually controlled at: 80-120℃.

Carbonisation process: the biomass raw material is pyrolysed under high temperature environment. Thus it is converted into charcoal. The temperature range of the charring stage is 300-600℃. The actual charring temperature needs to be decided according to the type of biomass raw material.

Cooling process: After carbonisation, the discharged charcoal needs to be cooled again. The material temperature will be brought to room temperature. The cooling stage is achieved by natural heat dissipation and ventilation, cooling device.

The above temperature range is only a reference value. The actual charcoal production process may vary depending on the type of raw materials, different equipment, and different processes. It is recommended to carefully review the production process before using the charcoal furnace and operate it in accordance with the established temperature parameters. This results in a high quality charcoal product. The right temperature can increase the calorific value and hardness of the product. If the charring temperature is too high, it will lead to excessive combustion of raw materials, produce tar, soot and other harmful substances, and also reduce the quality of the finished charcoal. If the temperature is too low, the reaction rate will be too slow, prolonging the charring time, thus reducing the production efficiency.
