There are various types of carbonization furnaces on the market. How do you choose the right one? What should you pay attention to? Let's take a closer look with Reliable Machinery——The professional carbonization furnace manufacturer.
Carbonization furnaces can be classified into continuous and batch types according to their combustion method. Continuous carbonization furnaces use the flue gas from the material itself as fuel, allowing for continuous carbonization and suitable for large-scale production.
Batch carbonization furnaces can only perform one carbonization process at a time, suitable for small-scale production and carbonization experiments. Different industries choose the appropriate carbonization furnace based on their production scale.
Carbonization temperature range. Carbonization furnace temperatures are categorized into high-temperature carbonization, medium-temperature carbonization, and low-temperature carbonization, resulting in different charcoal structures.
High-temperature char is suitable for industrial applications, while low-temperature char is more suitable as fuel. The appropriate carbonization production technology should be selected based on the specific requirements.


The power and size of a carbonization furnace are closely related to its production capacity and floor space. In terms of power, different carbonization materials (materials with higher moisture content require relatively longer carbonization timesrequire different production times.
The size of the carbonization furnace is related not only to its production capacity but also to the floor space it occupies. When selecting a carbonization furnace, choosing the power and size according to your needs will allow for a more rational layout.
In addition to understanding the basic information about carbonization furnaces above, we also need to pay attention to the following characteristics:
Raw Material
Raw Material Types: Biomass materials such as wood, sawdust, straw, and coconut shells require matching equipment processing capacity. For example, continuous carbonization furnaces are suitable for processing various types of materials, while horizontal carbonization furnaces
are suitable for directly carbonizing logs into their intended shapes.
Raw Material Pretreatment: Different raw materials have requirements regarding moisture content and material diameter. Larger materials also require further processing such as crushing.
Thermal Efficiency: The thermal efficiency of a carbonization furnace directly impacts energy consumption and carbonization efficiency. High-efficiency carbonization furnaces reduce energy consumption and effectively improve carbonization efficiency.
Carbonization Cycle: Traditional carbonization furnaces require 12-24 hours of cooling, while continuous carbonization furnaces allow for simultaneous feeding and carbon output, resulting in higher efficiency.
Capacity Matching: Equipment specifications should be selected based on daily production needs. Daily raw material processing capacity data must be provided for the manufacturer to match the appropriate specifications.

Environmental Protection and Energy Consumption
Sealing: A sealed carbonization chamber reduces pollutant emissions; high-temperature pyrolysis technology allows for the recovery of pyrolysis gas as fuel.
Waste Gas Treatment: Equipped with a water processor and condenser to filter wood tar and soot.
Carbonization Emission Standards: Based on current environmental protection requirements, choosing a smokeless carbonization furnace is more in line with emission standards.
Equipment Characteristics
Structural Types: Square and vertical carbonization furnace are suitable for small-scale production, while horizontal and continuous carbonization furnace are suitable for large-scale continuous production.
Automation Level: Continuous equipment uses automated control to stabilize temperature and ensure charcoal quality; traditional carbonization furnaces require manual cooling and batch operation. Common carbonization furnace control methods are manual control
and PLC automatic control. PLC automatic control is more efficient than manual control and saves manpower.
