The efficient, clean, and safe production method of Beston bamboo charcoal machine makes it an investment choice for more and more recyclers.
The Main Source of Waste Bamboo
Bamboo’s planting area continues to expand around the world due to its fast growth, toughness, and durability. However, the booming development of the bamboo industry has also brought about a series of management problems of waste bamboo. The following are the main sources of waste bamboo:
Cultivation of Bamboo
- Bamboo Forest Management: This process includes thinning, shaping, weeding, etc. These activities form bamboo branches, small bamboo, and diseased bamboo.
- Natural Activities: Natural disasters such as wind disasters, snow disasters, and insect disasters can cause bamboo forests to break and die, producing a large amount of waste bamboo.
Processing of Bamboo Material
- Processing Waste: During the bamboo processing process, waste bamboo materials such as bamboo ends, bamboo joints, and bamboo chips will be produced.
- Substandard Quality Bamboo: Bamboo that has quality problems such as wormholes, cracks, mildew, etc. during processing is considered waste bamboo.
Production of Bamboo Products
- Production Waste: They mainly include leftovers from bamboo product processing. In addition, bamboo products with quality problems will be regarded as production waste.
- End-of-Life Bamboo Products: Bamboo products have a limited service life. People will eventually discard these products.
Understand Pyrolysis of Bamboo
Pyrolysis is the process of decomposing organic matter into gas, liquid, and solid products at high temperatures. Bamboo is mainly composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. These organic substances will undergo multiple stages of material changes during the biomass pyrolysis process:
Gas Substances Formation
Liquid Substances Formation
Solid Substances Sormation
Advantages of Using Bamboo to Make Charcoal
Short Growth Cycle
Bamboo grows extremely fast. Therefore, compared to the pyrolysis of wood, raw materials can be obtained more quickly through bamboo pyrolysis. Bamboo’s short growth cycle means that sustainable production of bamboo charcoal can occur more quickly. At the same time, this does not put a strain on the environment through over-harvesting.
Strong Fiber Structure
Bamboo is rich in lignin, cellulose, and hardened substances. This structure makes the material structure of charcoal more stable after the pyrolysis of bamboo. In particular, bamboo charcoal has excellent mechanical strength and pore structure. These properties are crucial for carbon sequestration applications of bamboo charcoal.
High Carbon&Low Ash Content
This makes bamboo charcoal excellent in terms of combustion performance. High carbon content means higher calorific value, which can provide longer-lasting and more efficient heat energy output. Meanwhile, low ash content means less ash during the combustion process. This reduces the workload of cleanup and also reduces pollution to the environment.

What is Bamboo Charcoal Making Machine
Bamboo charcoal machine is an equipment that realizes highly automated production of bamboo charcoal. The entire production line can include bamboo crushing, drying, and pyrolysis. In addition, the bamboo charcoal combustible gas, wood vinegar, and tar produced by the machine have corresponding facilities for collection. Not only that, the exhaust gas and wastewater generated by the entire production system will also be discharged after meeting standards. Beston Group’s charcoal making machine has two models.

Workflow of Bamboo Charcoal Making Machine
Before Feeding
The requirement for bamboo size is no more than 2cm. The larger bamboo pieces need crushing by a crushing machine. The space size between bamboo pieces has a close relationship to the quality of bamboo charcoal. Then, small bamboo pieces enter into the drying system. The excess water content will be removed.
Bamboo to Charcoal Process
Heat the chamber. Half an hour later, the screw automatic feeder pushes the bamboo into carbonization reactor. If the temperature is over 350℃, the chemical change starts. The bamboo charcoal will be discharged on the same side.
Combustible Gas System
When bamboo is changed into charcoal, there is waste gas and waste smoke in the reactor. The waste gas enters into the cyclone dust collector and two condensers by an induced draft fan. The two procedures guarantee the cleanness of combustible gas. Accordingly, the combustible gas can provide heat for the reactor instead of other fuel.
