Understanding working principle

Understanding how a charcoal briquette making machine works is the first step in purchasing one. The charcoal extruder machine uses a screw propulsion system and high-pressure extrusion to press various raw materials into shape within a mold. Commonly processed raw materials include:

  • Coal powder
  • Charcoal powder
  • Sawdust charcoal powder
  • Coconut shell charcoal powder
  • Biomass charcoal powder

Pay attention to molding effect and mold type

The mold used in a charcoal briquetting machine determines the shape and market applicability of the coal briquettes. Common shapes include:

  • Hexagonal hollow coal briquettes
  • Square coal briquettes
  • Cylindrical coal briquettes
  • Perforated coal briquettes

When selecting the charcoal extruder machine, it should be confirmed whether the equipment supports mold replacement to meet different market demands.

Equipment materials and durability

When choosing the charcoal briquette extruder machine, the quality of the machine is paramount. A high-quality charcoal extruder machine typically features:

  • Thickened, wear-resistant screws
  • High-strength alloy molds
  • A stable motor configuration

While high-quality equipment requires a slightly higher initial investment, it offers lower maintenance costs and a longer service life.
