There are significant differences between fruit charcoal and machine-made charcoal produced by carbonization machines in terms of raw materials and processing technology, physical and chemical properties, application and environmental protection. It is necessary to select the appropriate carbonization machine according to the specific materials and finished product applications. For which type of equipment to use, please feel free to contact Zhengzhou Jiutian Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd. All employees of the company will serve you wholeheartedly!

 1. Different raw materials and processing techniques

 Fruit charcoal is mainly made of fruit wood, such as apple wood, pear wood, chestnut branches, etc. The production of fruit charcoal is relatively cumbersome and requires multiple stages such as water evaporation, drying, pre-carbonization, carbonization, and calcination. It is produced through biomass carbonization and pyrolysis technology in an oxygen-isolated or anoxic environment.

 The raw materials of machine-made charcoal come from a wide range of sources, including rice husks, peanut shells, cotton husks, corn cobs, corn stalks, sorghum stalks and other wood scraps, as well as sawdust, shavings, bamboo chips, etc. The production of machine-made charcoal requires a set of equipment such as a crusher, dryer, rod making machine, and carbonization furnace. After the raw materials are dried and crushed, they enter the molding machine for high-temperature and high-pressure plasticization and molding into fuel rods, which are then carbonized in a carbonization furnace to make finished products. The overall process is relatively standardized and mechanized.

 2. Physical and chemical properties are different

 Fruit charcoal has a relatively small density and low calorific value, but it takes a long time to burn and has a high caloric value. Fruit charcoal ignites quickly, is smokeless, and produces a fragrance when burned. Due to its low density, it may be a little explosive when first ignited, but gradually decreases as it burns.

 Machine-made charcoal has high density and calorific value. The fixed carbon content is about 80%, and the calorific value can reach 7500-8000kcal/kg. Machine-made charcoal is flammable, smokeless, odorless and pollution-free. It burns without sparks and the residual ash falls naturally without floating up. Due to its high density, machine-made charcoal is relatively flame-resistant.

 3. Application and environmental performance are different

Fruit charcoal is a high-end product for civilian barbecue charcoal, widely used in barbecue, hot pot, home heating and other fields. At the same time, it is also used in many fields such as food, pharmaceutical, chemical industry, metallurgy, national defense, agriculture and environmental protection. Although the production of fruit charcoal involves the felling of fruit trees, its environmental protection still has certain advantages over the source of raw materials for machine-made charcoal. However, excessive felling of fruit trees will also affect the ecological environment, so it needs to be mined rationally.

 Machine-made charcoal is widely used, not only in catering fields such as barbecue and hot pot, but also in industrial smelting, boiler fuel and other fields. Its regular shape, reasonable structure and easy use also make it popular in the market. Machine-made charcoal uses waste materials such as wood chips for processing and production, realizing the reuse of waste and saving resources. At the same time, its smokeless, odorless and pollution-free characteristics also meet environmental protection requirements.
