Introduction: Meeting Cambodia’s Demand for Efficient Briquette Production
In 2025, Weiwa Machinery collaborated with a Cambodian client to test our honeycomb briquette charcoal machine, a solution tailored for converting raw coal or biomass into high-density, uniformly shaped honeycomb briquettes. This trial wasn’t just about proving machine functionality—it was about demonstrating how our technology solves real-world challenges in charcoal production, from raw material versatility to energy efficiency.
As a leading manufacturer of honeycomb charcoal coal briquette forming machines, Weiwa has refined its designs over years of global deployments.
Why Honeycomb Briquettes Are the Science Behind the Shape?
The Unique Advantage of Honeycomb Structure
Honeycomb briquettes aren’t just visually distinctive—their hexagonal or square-celled design serves a critical purpose:
- Uniform Burning: The holes ensure consistent airflow, extending burn time and reducing smoke compared to traditional lump charcoal.
- High Density: Our coal briquettes making machine compresses raw materials (coal dust, biomass, or blends) into dense blocks that burn longer than loose alternatives.
- Ease of Use: Ideal for household cooking, industrial heating, and even restaurant grills, these briquettes are a staple in Southeast Asian markets like Cambodia.
Trial Highlights——From Raw Material to Finished Briquettes
Machine Setup & Client Specifications
The trial featured a customized honeycomb briquette charcoal machine selected by the Cambodian team after reviewing Weiwa’s catalog. Key parameters included:
- Production Capacity: 600-1500 kg/hour (adjustable based on material moisture).
- Input Materials: A mix of crushed coal and binder (optimized for low ash content).
- Hole Diameter: 140-220mm (client’s preference for optimal airflow).
Unlike generic briquette machines, our honeycomb punching machine uses precision molds to ensure uniform hole patterns, a factor our client emphasized for market competitiveness.
Step-by-Step: How the Honeycomb Briquette Charcoal Machine Works?
- Material Feeding: Coal dust or biomass is fed into the hopper, where a conveyor regulates flow to prevent clogging.
- Compression: Hydraulic or mechanical pressure (depending on the model) molds the material into honeycomb shapes.
- Ejection & Cooling: Briquettes are ejected onto a cooling tray, solidifying within minutes for handling.
During the trial, the machine processed 500kg of raw material in under 45 minutes, with zero jamming—a testament to Weiwa’s engineering.
What the Cambodian Client Received?
Visual & Performance Metrics
Post-trial, the client received a sample batch of briquettes for testing. Key observations:
- Burn Time: 3–4 hours per briquette (vs. 1–2 hours for traditional charcoal).
- Smoke Emission: Minimal, meeting local air quality guidelines.
- Shape Consistency: 98% of briquettes had uniform holes and dimensions.
Why Weiwa’s Machines Stand Out in Cambodia?
Localized Support & Customization
Unlike generic suppliers, Weiwa offers:
- On-Site Trials: We bring the machine to your site (or test your materials in our factory) to ensure compatibility.
- Binder-Free Options: For clients preferring additive-free production, our machines accommodate dry coal dust with minimal fines.
- After-Sales Training: Our technicians guide Cambodian teams on operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
The trial in Cambodia included a half-day workshop on optimizing material moisture levels—a common hurdle in tropical climates.
