Our horizontal carbonization furnace is a batch-type charcoal making furnace designed for converting wood logs, branches, bamboo, waste wood and other biomass materials into charcoal. The furnace uses oxygen-limited carbonization and combustible gas recycling to improve heating efficiency and reduce external fuel consumption. Different furnace sizes and production capacities can be customized according to your raw material and project requirements.
Working Principle of Horizontal Carbonization Furnace
The furnace heats biomass under oxygen-limited conditions. During carbonization, volatile compounds are released as combustible gas, wood vinegar and wood tar. Part of the combustible gas can be recycled to provide heat for the furnace, reducing external fuel consumption. After carbonization is completed, the charcoal is cooled before discharge.
Advantages of Our Horizontal Charcoal Furnace
Batch Carbonization for Large Biomass: Suitable for logs, branches, bamboo and other large-sized biomass materials.
Combustible Gas Recycling: Part of the combustible gas generated during carbonization can be reused as a heating source, reducing external fuel consumption.
Easy Loading and Discharging: The horizontal structure and optional rail cart system make batch loading and charcoal discharge more convenient.
Customized Capacity: Furnace size and production capacity can be customized according to raw material and daily output requirements.
Raw Materials Suitable for Horizontal Carbonization
The horizontal charcoal furnace can process a wide range of solid biomass materials. It is particularly suitable for raw materials with relatively large particle sizes that can be loaded directly into the furnace.
1.Wood Logs：Logs and cut wood can be carbonized directly after proper drying.
2.Branches and Waste Wood：Tree branches, forestry residues and waste wood can be converted into valuable charcoal.
3.Bamboo：Bamboo can be carbonized to produce high-carbon biomass charcoal.
4.Biomass Briquettes：Biomass briquettes can be carbonized into formed charcoal products.
How to Use a Horizontal Wood Carbonization Furnace？
1.Check whether the raw materials meet the standard. The water content is less than 20%, and the size is about 50mm. Otherwise, we can provide you with crushers and dryers.
2.Open the furnace door, and put the mateiral inside directly; or you can put the mateiral on the rail car to send the material into the inner pot.
3.Seal the furnace, and check the valves and other things.
4.Fire the furnace and to make the charcoal. This step, there is the combustible gas to produce and this gas can be sent to the bottom of the fire mouth to let the machine heat.
5.After the charcoal finished and cooled, then use the rail car to delivery the charcoal out.

Horizontal carbonization furnaces are available in different chamber sizes and batch capacities. The suitable model depends on raw material size, moisture content, required charcoal output and operating conditions. We can recommend the appropriate furnace configuration based on your daily production target.
Horizontal Carbonization Furnace Production Line
A typical wood charcoal production process includes raw material preparation, drying, furnace loading, carbonization, cooling and charcoal collection. If the final product is formed barbecue charcoal or shisha charcoal, additional crushing, mixing and briquetting equipment can be added after carbonization.
Production Line 1 ： Crushing — Drying — Press briquette — Carbonizing briquette to charcoal
Production Line 2：Raw Material Preparation → Drying → Carbonization → Cooling → Charcoal Collection
1.Coconut shell, wood, bamboo and other biomass are carbonized into charcoal by carbonization furnace and enter hoister and storage tank. According to customer’s raw material, you can choose continuous carbonization furnace, horizontal charcoal making stove and hoisting carbonization furnace.
2.charcoal can be crushed into charcoal powder by dust-free grinder.
3.Stir the charcoal powder and adhesive with a mixer.
4.Charcoal powder can be formed into ball, cylinder, tables and cubic by briquette machine
5.Enter the dryer by drying.
Packaging and Shipping of Horizontal Carbonization Furnace
Before shipment, each horizontal carbonization furnace is inspected and prepared according to the transportation requirements of the destination country. Main components are securely fixed, protected against moisture and collision, and packed in suitable wooden cases, steel frames or containers depending on machine size and configuration. We can arrange sea freight and provide loading photos, packing lists and shipping documents for customer confirmation before dispatch.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does one batch of wood carbonization take?
The carbonization time depends on furnace size, wood moisture, raw material size and operating temperature. We recommend determining the cycle based on the actual furnace model and raw material conditions.
What moisture content is suitable for wood carbonization?
Lower and more stable moisture content generally improves carbonization efficiency. If the wood is too wet, pre-drying may be required.
Can combustible gas from carbonization be reused?
Yes. After suitable treatment, combustible gas generated during carbonization can be recycled as a heating source for the furnace.
How much does a horizontal carbonization furnace cost?
The price depends mainly on furnace size, capacity, configuration and auxiliary equipment. Contact us with your raw material and required output for a customized quotation.
