How to improve the quality of betel nut shell charcoal?
To improve the quality of betel nut shell charcoal, we can start from raw material selection, production process control, equipment optimization and subsequent treatment. Here are some specific measures and suggestions:
1. Raw material selection
Good quality: Select betel nut shells with good quality, moderate maturity and no pests and diseases as raw materials. Such raw materials contain high effective ingredients such as cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, which is conducive to improving the quality of charcoal.
Drying treatment: The raw materials should be fully dried before processing to reduce the moisture content. It is generally recommended to control the moisture content between 6% and 12% to ensure the smooth progress of the pressing and carbonization process.
Screening and impurity removal: Screen the raw materials to remove impurities and large pieces of unbreakable objects to ensure the purity and uniformity of the raw materials.
2. Production process control
Carbonization process:
Select suitable carbonization equipment: such as hoisting carbonization furnace or horizontal drum carbonization furnace, etc. These equipment have the advantages of high efficiency, energy saving and environmental protection, and can improve the carbonization rate and product quality.
Control carbonization temperature and time: According to the characteristics of raw materials and product requirements, set reasonable carbonization temperature and time to ensure that the charcoal can be fully carbonized and the quality is stable.
Strengthen ventilation and exhaust: Strengthen ventilation and exhaust during the carbonization process, timely remove harmful gases and smoke, and ensure the cleanliness and safety of the production environment.
3. Equipment optimization
Regular maintenance: Regularly maintain and maintain production equipment to ensure that the equipment is in good working condition. In particular, key components such as transmission systems, heating systems and control systems should be inspected and maintained.
Update and upgrade: With the development of technology and changes in the market, timely update and upgrade production equipment, introduce more advanced and efficient equipment and technical means, and improve production efficiency and product quality.
In summary, improving the quality of betel nut shell charcoal requires starting from multiple aspects such as raw material selection, production process control, equipment optimization and subsequent processing. By taking a series of effective measures and suggestions, the quality and market competitiveness of betel nut shell charcoal can be significantly improved.
