Jalur produksi arang palem adalah simbol baru dari penggunaan sumber daya yang melingkar. Selama ekstraksi minyak sawit, orang selalu menganggap cangkang palem sebagai limbah pertanian. Jalur produksi arang cangkang palem mengubah pendapat ini. Jalur produksi menggunakan karbonisasi sebagai prinsip kerjanya untuk memunculkan potensi cangkang palem. Dengan fungsi utama mesin, Cangkang kernel palem dapat dikonversi menjadi arang biomassa. Sebagai limbah pertanian, Cangkang kernel palem adalah bahan yang sempurna untuk pembuatan arang. For this, there are various charcoal making machines for your choice.

Can palm shell be used as material to make charcoal?

Tentu saja. Using palm shell as material is an ideal choice for both disposing of agricultural waste and preparing quality charcoal. In general, making biochar with palm shell has 3 advantages as follows:

Tanaman terbarukan

Cangkang palem adalah bahan limbah yang sering dianggap limbah pertanian. The reuse of palm shells as carbonization feedstock can effectively utilize these wastes and reduce dependence on natural resources. Kombinasi jenis palem yang tumbuh cepat dan jenis biomassa lainnya dapat memberikan pasokan bahan baku yang berkelanjutan untuk mewujudkan pendapatan berkelanjutan.

Kandungan karbon tinggi

Kerang palem memiliki kandungan karbon yang tinggi, biasanya antara 35-45%. Ini membuatnya menjadi pilihan yang baik untuk membuat bahan baku karbonisasi, yang dapat menghasilkan partikel karbon dengan kemurnian tinggi. Kandungan karbon yang lebih tinggi baik untuk kualitas produk akhir.

Perlindungan Lingkungan

The use of palm shells as a carbonizing feedstock can reduce the demand for fossil fuels and thus reduce the adverse impact on the environment. Selain itu, Penggunaan bahan limbah juga dapat membantu mengurangi masalah tempat pembuangan sampah.

How to make palm shell charcoal?

When you plan to make palm shell charcoal, you must learn the major processes of palm shell charcoal production. Generally, if you use palm shell as materials to make biochar, it needs 3 steps:

Crushing palm shell into small pieces

In order to make quality palm shell biochar, it is advisable to crush your waste palm shell into small pieces. This is beneficial for charcoal production. On the one hand, the smaller volume of the crushed palm shells allows for more even heating during carbonization. On the other hand, the carbonization temperature of the crushed material is easier to control, resulting in lower energy consumption and reduced emissions of smoke and tar. Here, for waste palm shell, a single shaft shredder or a double shafts shredder is enough.

Drying crushed palm shell evenly

Palm shells typically have a moisture content of 30–50%. If they are carbonized directly without drying, the evaporation of moisture consumes a large amount of heat, resulting in a slow rise in carbonization temperature, fuel waste, and a decrease in gas production and char yield. After drying, the moisture content is reduced to ≤15%, which significantly improves thermal efficiency. Furthermore, it makes the carbonized palm shells harder and produces a higher calorific value. So, a rotary dryer is more suitable.

Turning waste palm shell pieces into charcoal

If you prepare to make charcoal, we recommend you with continuous carbonization machine according to your material size. This continuous carbonization technology, in addition to what has been mentioned above, also includes a water-cooled charcoal extraction system, a charcoal deep processing system, a combustible gas and heating system, a combustion exhaust system, a tail gas recycling system, a tail gas treatment system, a condensation system, and an electrical control system. We will adjust the plan appropriately according to your country’s policies to ensure compliance with local environmental standards.

How to control the final carbonization temperature in palm shell charcoal line?

Palm shell charcoal production requires precise temperature control to ensure high-quality charcoal. The carbonization temperature directly affects the fixed carbon content, kepadatan, and combustion characteristics of the final product. By understanding the temperature stages and controlling the furnace conditions, operators can achieve consistent results suitable for different applications, from BBQ charcoal to activated carbon raw materials.

Principle of Temperature Control

Carbonization of palm shells occurs in three main stages, each influencing the charcoal’s quality. The drying stage, typically between 150 and 200°C, removes moisture from the raw material, preparing it for further processing. During the pyrolysis stage, from around 280 to 400°C, organic compounds decompose, releasing combustible gases and creating initial carbon structures. The final carbonization stage, biasanya antara 450 and 650°C, solidifies the charcoal, determining its fixed carbon content, kepadatan, and energy value. Properly managing each stage ensures the charcoal meets quality standards and performance requirements.

Modern palm shell charcoal lines often use advanced PLC systems with thermocouples to monitor and regulate furnace temperature automatically. Adjusting the feed rate allows operators to fine-tune the internal heat, while combustible gas recirculation helps maintain stable heating conditions. Furnace insulation is also critical, as it minimizes heat loss and prevents temperature fluctuations. By combining these methods, the carbonization process can be precisely controlled, producing uniform charcoal that meets specific application requirements, whether for industrial fuel, BBQ use, or activated carbon production.
