Coconut charcoal
Coconut charcoal
Coconut shells or shells are often just thrown away in traditional markets.
Coconut shells can be used as raw material to make charcoal. Coconut shell charcoal products can also be processed again into innovative charcoal products. Coconut shell charcoal can be produced to market needs and become a superior export product. Processing coconut shell into charcoal is done by burning it. A pile of coconut shells is put into the drum.
Then, the coconut shell is burned. After that, the coconut shells that have not been burned are added, step by step, into the drum. This was done continuously until the drum was full of coconut shells. When full, the drum is closed and all coconut shells in the drum undergo a combustion process. Gradually, the coconut shell will turn to charcoal. After being separated from the combustion waste, coconut charcoal will become the raw material for innovative charcoal products to be exported to world markets.
The burning of the coconut shells was made by workers at A BIG FACTORY. Unfortunately, the amount of coconut shell — as a basic raw material — to be burned into charcoal is still very limited.
As a result, A BIG FACTORY has to get a supply of coconut charcoal as raw material from suppliers from various regions, such as Riau Province and Riau Islands. A BIG FACTORY make more or less 300-400 tons of shell charcoal per month as raw material for the production of innovative shell charcoal.
From shell charcoal, A BIG FACTORY processes or processes it further into export-oriented charcoal products. The shell charcoal is shaped and printed by a printing machine according to market needs. After printing, the charcoal product still has to be heated in a heating machine.
Currently, A BIG FACTORY ‘s shell charcoal production volume reaches 300 tons per month. For certain products, coconut charcoal products are also given chemicals. The function of the chemical is only to be able to light a fire on the charcoal without having to use fuels, such as kerosene.
To control the quality of shell charcoal, A BIG FACTORY also has several control devices. Before the product is shipped, the shell charcoal that is produced is also tested to see its quality, such as the burning time of the charcoal.
