Shell Charcoal Processing Machines

Shell Charcoal
Shell Charcoal is obtained by burning the shell of fully matured coconuts with a limitedsupply of air so that they do not burn away to ash but are only carbonized. The manufacture ofshell charcoal shows from the coconut shell has become a very important economic andcommercial activity. Furthermore, coconut shell charcoal, which was relatively minor product inthe past, has now developed into a general commercial commodity due to its intrinsic value as a raw material for the manufacture of activated carbon. Coconut shell charcoal shall be of the following two types:
Type I – Coconut shell charcoal – pieces
Type II – Coconut shell charcoal - granulated
Simple Mud Pits/ Brick Lined Pits
It is basically a simple process, consisting of burning the shells in a limited supply of air,so that the shells are only carbonized and not burnt to ash. The tricky part of this operation is to set the optimum conditions for carbonization to the correct degree. The charcoal manufactured by this method is of inferior quality, containing lot of impurities. Moreover emission of a lot of smoke and flue gases during the process causes atmospheric pollution
