20HP Diesel Charcoal Extruder Successfully Exported to Senegal

In response to the growing demand for affordable and reliable charcoal processing equipment in West Africa, we recently exported a 20HP diesel charcoal extruder to a small-scale briquette charcoal processing factory in Senegal. The customer aimed to convert charcoal powder into high-quality hexagonal briquettes for local market sales.

Customer Profile and Project Background

The client operates a small briquette production workshop focused on producing fuel for household and commercial use. With increasing demand for clean and efficient charcoal products, the customer planned to upgrade from manual processing to a semi-automated production setup.

Their primary goal was to produce hexagonal charcoal briquettes with consistent shape and density to improve market competitiveness and profit margins.

Key Challenges Faced by the Customer
