Finding the right Sawdust Charcoal Machine
Contents |
[edit] Introduction
In the construction and timber industries, sawdust is often considered a waste product. However, there are numerous techniques that could be implemented to reduce waste. One of the more efficient ones is using the sawdust to make charcoal briquettes.
Machines can take conventional sawdust, dry it, and transform it into charcoal briquettes that can be used for a wide range of things. However, to ensure you obtain the right carbonisation machine for your needs, there numerous things to be aware of.
[edit] Efficiency
Efficiency is an important factor. When browsing charcoal making machines, you will be thinking about both their workflow as well as efficiency. In terms of energy efficiency, you will want to get machinery that could be partially powered through the gas released from the process of making charcoal. This helps decrease the total energy needed to run the machinery, thus keeping the operational expenses down.
Also, look for a charcoal making machine that relies on the fewest steps. This will be significant in lessening the number of workers expected to run the machinery while speeding up the overall workflow.
[edit] Flexibility
Some charcoal manufacturing machinery is designed to handle sawdust only, although some can convert a wide range of other materials into charcoal as well. For example, rice husks, coconut shells, municipal solid waste, etc. Choosing a charcoal making machine which gives you more flexibility is imperative.
[edit] Maintenance
Ideally, the machine which you ultimately decide to buy ought to be easy to maintain. This way, you won't need to dedicate lots of time to make certain it runs optimally.
