Charcoal briquettes

Charcoal briquettes represent crushed and compressed black pillow-like pieces of roughly the same size. Material for briquette production can be, for example, various wood species, sawdust, sunflower husk. Flour and stratch serve as binder. Does not contain harmful substances.

Charcoal has proven itself a long time ago thanks to its qualities. This environmentally friendly and safe fuel burn evenly, saving heat for a long time, without smoke or flame, keeping temperature high.

Briquettes are formed by compression of a mass. Raw material is crushed, dried, and then compressed. Briquettes are used to heat rooms, cook food. Briquettes can be rectangular, cylindrical, with or without hole. They all are united by undeniable advantages - ease of storage, transportation and application.

Charcoal briquette accumulated in itself all advantages of charcoal and briquettes.

• Thanks to uniform size of pillows heat is distributed evenly.
• Burns for longer than charcoal because of material density, and takes less space.
• Does not emit smoke or harmful substances while burning.
• Tolerates transportation well, does not crumble. Does not leave dust or rubbish in package.
• Compared to firewood, charcoal and hard coal it is more economical.
• Convenient size of each briquette allows to add them individually during ignition if the grill or brazier.
• If charcoal briquette hasn’t completely burnt out, it can be cooled down and reused.
• Does not have smell and does not spark while burning.

Charcoal briquette qualities differ depending on its application. So, briquettes are used not only for household needs (heating, fireplace stoking, grill ignition), but also in industry - for railroad transport, silicon smelting, in electro-metallurgy. In briquette production special equipment is used for coal briquetting.

Properties of charcoal briquettes in this case would differ because of unequal raw materials. So, for household needs briquettes from wood waste have proven themselves. For industry briquettes from hardwoods suited well.

Special production technologies allow to achieve high quality and ecological cleanness of charcoal briquettes.

1. Firstly, raw material is carefully crushed with the help of crusher.
2. Then it is transported to storage device.
3. Mass is exposed to high temperatures without oxygen access in pyrolysis furnace.
4. Then comes substance mixing and briquette forming with the help of press.
5. Charcoal briquettes are dried and packed up.

Demand for charcoal briquettes is explained by the benefits not only for consumer, but for producer. Cheap raw material, environmental compliance, ease of storage, high heat transfer, long lasting burning- determining factors for increase in charcoal briquette production volume.
