Pillow charcoal machine is a roller-type briquette press that can compress charcoal and coal powder into ball, oval, ovoid, egg, and pillow shape briquettes. It includes a pair of compression rolls with grooves, they are the main parts for the briquettes forming. It can produce different shapes and sizes of briquettes by changing the rolls of the pillow briquette press.
Materials for making pillow charcoal briquettes
The raw materials for making the charcoal briquettes need to meet the following requirements.
Charcoal powder
The size of charcoal materials must be less than 5mm. If you use lump charcoal, or coconut charcoal to make briquettes, you need to use a charcoal crusher to grind charcoal into powder.
Binder
After pulverizing charcoal to obtain charcoal powder, it is necessary to mix the charcoal powder with binder and water, and they can be mixed and stirred evenly with a wheel mill mixer. The common binder used for making charcoal briquettes is corn starch or tapioca.
If use coal powder to make briquette, no need binder.
Humidity of charcoal powder
The suggested humidity of charcoal materials is around 30%. Charcoal briquettes producers need to adjust the humidity according to the quality of charcoal briquettes in actual production.
Different shapes of BBQ charcoal briquettes
The pilow charcoal machine can be widely used in different industries. Besides charcoal and coal powder, it can also be used for compressing and forming gypsum, mineral powder, metal powder, etc. The shape of briquettes can be oval, pillow, or customized.
Spare parts of charcoal briquette press
The only spare part of the charcoal briquette press is the roller, because the carbon powder or coal dust is squeezed into various shapes by the roller, so the surface of the roller is the most easily worn. We ensure that all the rollers used are heat-treated to enhance hardness and wear resistance. We can also customize the rollers according to the shape and size required by the customer.
