The manufacturing process for pillow-shaped charcoal briquettes typically involves the following steps:
Charcoal Production: The process begins with producing charcoal from wood or other biomass. This is done by heating the material in a low-oxygen environment, a process known as pyrolysis.
- Crushing and Grinding: The charcoal is then crushed and ground into a fine powder.
- Mixing: The charcoal powder is mixed with a binder, such as starch or molasses, and water to form a thick paste.
- Shaping: The paste is then fed into a briquette machine, which compresses the mixture into pillow-shaped briquettes.
- Drying: The briquettes are then dried to reduce their moisture content.
- Packaging: The finished briquettes are packaged and ready for sale.
