Primarily used for pressing charcoal and coal powder into spherical shapes, the machine is commonly employed in the production of barbecue charcoal. We offers a wide range of Charcoal Ball Press Machines with capacities ranging from 1 t/h to 30 t/h, providing versatile solutions to meet diverse production requirements.
Raw materials of charcoal ball press machine
The raw materials used in a barbecue charcoal ball press machine are typically carbon powder and coal powder. To ensure proper processing, these materials must meet the following requirements:

- The diameter of the raw material should not exceed 3 mm.
- The raw materials need to be mixed with a specific proportion of binder and water for optimal binding and molding.
In addition to charcoal and coal powder, various other powdery materials with low water content can also be processed into spherical shapes.
- Chimney ash
- Iron ore powder
- Aluminum powder
- Cast iron dust
- Manganese ore powder
- Gypsum powder
- Ferrosilicon powder
- Lead powder
- Blast furnace ash
These materials are versatile and can be used to create a range of products through the charcoal ball press machine, further enhancing its utility in various industries.
Structures of barbecue coal making machine
The barbecue coal making machine is composed of four main parts:
Feeding port
- Allows raw materials to be fed into the machine.
Driving part
- Includes the motor, belts, cylindrical gear reducer, gear, and roller, responsible for powering the machine.


Molded part
- Core components: two rollers and the mold.
- Roller types: rough rolls come in two types—integral forging and casting.
- Mold variations: molds are available in different shapes, such as:
- Round
- Pillow-shaped
- Heart-shaped
- Square-shaped
Hydraulic system
- Required for materials with low water content, like chimney ash and mineral powder, to assist in shaping the final product.

The mold is made of 65Mn material, which has good corrosion resistance, wear-resistance and long service life.
The pure copper motor is more energy-efficient and can maintain stable operation for a long time without noise.


The outlet is equipped with belt conveying, the material discharge is smooth, and it can also buffer the newly formed briquettes.
The powder filter can sieve out the excess powder, which can be collected and reused.

Different molds of barbecue charcoal machine
The most common shaps of molds are pillow-type, bar-type, round and so on. We can provide customized type according to your demand. We can aslo make lettering charcoal balls with special molds.

FAQs of charcoal ball press machine
Why are the prepared briquettes incomplete?
On one hand, the pair of rollers are not aligned, they need to be re-adjusted. On the other hand, the humidity of the raw materials is not uniform, the raw materials need to be re-adjusted to add water and the ratio of binder, and then fully stirred.
Can the BBQ charcoal machine press sawdust?
Sawdust balls can be made, but a dry powder ball press is required, the kind with high pressure.
What kind of shapes can a charcoal ball press machine make?
The most common shapes are regular spherical, pillow-shaped, and rugby-shaped.

Loading and delivery of barbecue charcoal machine
We are currently preparing a barbecue charcoal ball press machine for delivery to Uganda. The customer, who operates a factory with an excess of wood waste, requested a small machine to convert this waste into charcoal balls. This machine will help him utilize the wood waste efficiently, turning it into valuable charcoal products.
In addition, we recently shipped a barbecue charcoal ball press machine to a customer in the Philippines. After setting up their own factory, they began producing heart-shaped barbecue charcoal for local markets. Thanks to the machine’s reliable performance, the customer enjoys a high production success rate, minimal scrap, and increased profitability.


Charcoal briquette production line
For customers looking to invest in a barbecue charcoal plant, we offer a comprehensive charcoal processing solution. Our full barbecue charcoal production line includes all the necessary equipment to efficiently produce high-quality charcoal briquettes. The process typically involves the following stages:

- Carbonization
- The first step involves converting raw materials, such as wood, into charcoal through a carbonization process.
- Charcoal crushing
- The carbonized charcoal is crushed into smaller particles, preparing it for the next stage.
- Charcoal powder stirring
- The crushed charcoal powder is mixed with binders and water to ensure proper molding.
- Barbecue charcoal molding
- The charcoal mixture is then pressed into various shapes, such as round, heart-shaped, pillow-shaped, or square-shaped, using the charcoal ball press machine.
- Drying
- After molding, the charcoal balls need to be dried to remove moisture. This is done in a drying room to ensure the finished product is ready for use.
- Packaging
- Finally, a packaging machine is used to pack the dried charcoal balls into bags for easy distribution and sale.

Our sales team, along with our factory, will assist you in selecting the right equipment for starting a new charcoal business, ensuring you get the best solution tailored to your needs.
What kind of charcoal is the best for outdoor barbecue?
At present, the common barbecue fuels on the market can be divided into four categories: natural trees, log charcoal, machine-press charcoal briquettes, and wood pellets. These four types of fuels are very different in terms of composition, production method, burning time, and burning heat.

- Natural Logs
- Unique flavor, but limited supply and smoky with spark risks.
- Carbonized Logs
- Easy ignition, short burn time, and environmentally unsustainable.
- Machine-Pressed Charcoal Briquettes
- High density, long burn time, and ideal for both commercial and home use.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the Charcoal Ball Press Machine is an essential tool for efficiently transforming charcoal powder into high-density, durable briquettes. With its versatility in molding various shapes and its ability to process a wide range of raw materials, it is the perfect solution for both small-scale and large-scale charcoal production.
