Shell Charcoal is an important product obtained from coconut shell. Shell charcoal is used widely as domestic and industrial fuel. It is also used by blacksmiths and goldsmiths and in laundries. Shell Charcoal is also used to produce activated carbon. Activated Carbon produced from coconut shell has certain specific advantages as the raw material can adsorb certain molecular species. Shell is carbonized by using methods like pit method, drum method, destructive distillation etc.
The shell charcoal is the raw material required for the manufacture of activated carbon. The shell charcoal is manufactured by burning shells of fully matured nuts in limited supply of air sufficient only for carbonisation, but not for complete destruction. The output of charcoal in the traditional pith method is just below 30 per cent of the weight of the original shells. In India the average output in the traditional method has been found to be 35kg of charcoal from 1000 whole shells or about 30,000 whole shells yield 1 tonne of charcoal. Sometimes, especially when the processing is defective, the output is still lower and nearly 50,000 shells are required to produce one tonne of charcoal. To obtain good quality charcoal, fully dried, clean, mature shells should be used. Now several modern methods are in vogue for the production of charcoal.
In the modern waste heat recovery unit the heat generated by the burning of coconut shells is used for drying copra and shell charcoal is obtained as by-product. A simple and efficient method adopted for the production of charcoal on cottage scale is given below.
PT. Sejahtera Inticarbon Persada, established in 1970 located in North Sulawesi - Indonesia, is one of Indonesian’s largest suppliers of coconut shell charcoal to China, Korea and Japan. We supply and ship coconut shell charcoal to your specifications with confidence.
North Sulawesi exhibits picturesque landscapes blending in harmoniously together with thousands of hectares of coconut palm tree plantations. The region is blessed with fertile volcanic soil and a flourishing flora and fauna. It's here where we cultivate our natural resources and process coconut shell charcoal. Our raw materials are carefully selected and processed under strict quality control.
In order to exceed export demands we develop machinery capable of enhancing quality requirements and capacity. The company's modern production facility is capable to produce charcoal in various mesh sizes; 24, 36, 48, 6 X 12, 6 X 20, 12 X 30, etc., assorted to the application requirements the product is further processed in. Our charcoal is predominantly used in the production of activated carbon which is a highly effective natural adsorbent of liquid and gas phase toxins. Due to the extensive internal pore structure of activated carbon processed from coconut shell charcoal, it is an ideal natural source for catalytic and contaminant filtration systems. We produces environment friendly products which are ecologically sustainable as coconut trees are not cut down for the raw material.
