Use Coconut Shell Briquette Machine to Make Fuel Briquettes

Home > Blog >

Coconut shell, the skin of the fruit shell of the coconut tree, is composed of an outer fibrous shell, which is a good raw material used to make fuel. After the briquetting machine, the finished product has a gray-black polygonal cylindrical appearance, odorless and non-toxic, with dense structure, low ash content and high strength, which can be used in waste gas and waste water treatment industries.

Making Coconut Shells into Useful Charcoal Briquette Fuel

Coconut shell charcoal briquette machine takes powder coconut shell as raw material, and after crushed coconut husk, it is made into hollow polygonal cylinder by charcoal briquette machine, and due to screw type charcoal briquette machine then made into activated carbon by carbonization. Coconut husk charcoal briquette is a natural and environmentally friendly biofuel. It is the best fuel alternative to firewood, kerosene and other fossil fuels. In the Middle East, such as Saudi Arabia, Lebanon and Syria, coconut charcoal briquettes are used as hookah (smoked water charcoal). In Europe, it is used for barbecue (grilling). (Learn more: biomass briquettes manufacturing plant cost>>)

Coconut Shell Briquettes--Perfect Alternative to Traditional Fuel 

  • Compared with traditional charcoal, coconut shell charcoal has outstanding advantages.
  • It is 100% pure natural biomass charcoal with no added chemicals.
  • Consistent, uniform and predictable burning time.
  • Longer burning time. It can burn for at least 3 hours, which is 6 times longer than traditional charcoal.
  • It heats up faster than other charcoal. It has a large calorific value (5500-7000 kcal/kg) and burns hotter than traditional charcoal.
  • Clean burning, no harmful odor and smoke production to the air.
  • Very little residual ash. Its ash content is only (2-10%), much lower than that of coal (20-40%).
  • Less charcoal is needed for grilling. 1 pound of coconut shell charcoal is equal to 2 pounds of traditional charcoal.

Coconut shells contain 0.61% ash, 36.51% lignin, 53.06% cellulose and 29.27% pentosan (total). Compared to other biomass feedstocks, coconut husk has a special structure, so its processing procedure is not quite the same as other biomasses. (Related article: biomass briquetting plant>>)

  • Coconut Shell Preparation

From Coconut Shell into Coconut Shell Briquettes

The coconut shell size is very large, so crushing is a necessary step in the preparation process, so a crusher is a must, and you need to choose the crusher features according to the degree of fiber. and from our experience in many projects, coconut shells contain a lot of fine powder, and the moisture content of fresh coconut shells is very high. So, a specially designed dryer is needed for drying, and automatic control is the best choice when designing a temperature control system. Of course, for small projects, drying is not a necessary step. However, when using high-capacity briquetting machines, the demand for raw materials is relatively high. Therefore, to increase the production efficiency, the dryer is a better choice.

  • Coconut Shell Briquetting and Carbonization

Making Coconut Shell Briquettes into Charcoal

With the coconut shell briquette machine, the coconut shell briquette can be easily processed, you can use them as fuel directly. While, there are customers using coconut shells to make charcoal sticks, and screw biomass briquetting machine is the best choice because the briquettes coming out of screw type briquetting machine are hollow and cylindrical with a carbonized surface. Therefore, the briquettes made by screw coconut shell briquetting machine can be processed into charcoal fuel more easily. Just put the made rods into the carbonization furnace and wait for a certain of time. Then the charcoal briquettes are processed successfully. (Realated article: how to make charcoal briquette>>)

Coconut Shell Charcoal Briquette Production Tips

Before starting the coconut shell briquette machine, you should start the process by cleaning the coconut shells properly. All the fibers that are located on the outside of the shells must be removed because they can catch fire. The shells must then be allowed to cure for not less than six months, while they are stored in a cool and dry place. The shells are then placed on charcoal stove. The stove should be allowed to burn at a constant temperature of between 500-900F. The temperatures should be prevented from going beyond 900F because if they do, you will end up with ash on our hands instead of briquettes.
