We all know that nearly all the biomass materials like peanut shell, ココナッツシェル, sawdust, 米の籾殻, jute stem, paddy straw, sugarcane bagasse および 竹 even the municipal solid wastes can be carbonized for charcoal. And the final charcoal can also be further processed with BBQ炭, シーシャ炭 or hookah charcoal and other kinds of charcoal briquettes. But among all these charcoal, why bamboo charcoal is so popular even though it is costly?

炭素化機からの竹炭とは何ですか？

Here are some reasons for explaining this phenomenon that bamboo charcoal made by charcoal making machine is so expensive. Bamboo can be carbonized by the 炭化炉 directly. There are mainly two kinds of charcoal machines can be selected when to make bamboo charcoal. The first one is the 連続炭化炉 which can carbonize the bamboo chips with the diameter less than 10mm into charcoal within 20 minutes. For this carbonization process, the bamboo should be crushed into pieces firstly by the 木材クラッシャー.

The other kind of charcoal making machine for sale is the 空気流通式炭化炉 as well as the 自己着火炭化炉, which can carbonize the bamboo directly without crushing. But considering the carbonization ratio, we should pay attention to the moisture content of the bamboo. If the moisture content is too big, the carbonization rate will be low and the charcoal quality will be not so good, especially for the fresh bamboo. The carbonization time in these two carbonization machines is usually 7-8 hours, and their output is very big.

竹炭製造機の竹炭の主な利点：

1. 竹炭は高い吸着能力を持っていますほとんどミネラルが含まれています 

Bamboo is rich in potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium and other minerals that are soluble in water. After burning bamboo charcoal in the carbonization furnace, minerals three times more than charcoal will be concentrated in bamboo charcoal. When 竹炭 is used to boil water, cook rice, brew tea, or brew coffee, these minerals will dissolve into the water.

2. 竹炭は優れた吸着能力

竹炭の内部の孔は広く分布しており、竹炭の1グラムあたりの表面積は最大300平方メートルに達し、これは木炭の3〜5倍です。これらの大きな孔径を持つ孔は優れた吸着能力を持ち、塩化物、硫化物、ホルムアルデヒドなどの有害物質や臭いを吸収することができます。竹炭を水に入れると、塩化物イオンや茶渋などの微細な不純物を吸着して水を浄化します。
