Machines builtto never stop.

The OLT-D continuous carbonization machine is the main equipment for biochar production: PLC-controlled end to end, heated by its own pyrolysis gas once running, and designed for months of continuous duty.

The line, machine by machine

Crush. Dry.Carbonize. Mold.

Every drawing here is one of Olten's catalogue machines, running. Together they make a complete charcoal line.

01

Crush

Crushing: feed falls through the hopper and the rotor's hammers break it; sized material drops into the bin. Feed for the OLT-D must be ≤ 30 mm.
Drying: hot air passes through the turning drum while wet feed tumbles down its slight incline; moist air leaves through the cyclone. The OLT-D needs feed at ≤ 15 % moisture, and part of its waste-heat flue gas can heat the dryer.

Dry

03Carbonize — The OLT-D, part by part↓
  1. 01Crush and dry

    Feed must be ≤ 15 % moisture and ≤ 30 mm. Material that doesn't meet this is crushed and dried first.

  2. 02Preheat to 350–400 °C

    The drum is heated by natural gas, diesel or LPG through the heating nozzle before any material enters.

  3. 03Feed and carbonize

    A sealed hopper with a limit sensor and screw feeder keeps the drum airtight while biomass turns through it.

  4. 04Gas takes over

    About 20 minutes after feeding, combustible gas forms. The induced-draft fan leads it to the combustion chamber, which heats the drum and cuts energy use.

  5. 05Reuse the heat

    Part of the waste-heat flue gas dries incoming feed; the rest can fire a boiler. Exhaust leaves through dust removal and flue-gas treatment.

Feed must be ≤ 15 % moisture and ≤ 30 mm. The drum is heated to 350–400 °C before feeding; about 20 minutes after feeding starts, combustible gas forms and the induced-draft fan returns it to the combustion chamber, which then heats the drum.

04

Mold

Molding: carbonised powder is pressed by a screw in a heated barrel through a square die and leaves as continuous sticks, cut to length on the table.

Why it runs for months

Fourteen systems, engineered as one.

  1. 01

    Feeding

    U-type, tube or large-inclination belt feeders, chosen for the material and site.

  2. 02

    Airtight inlet

    Hopper with a limit sensor keeps the drum sealed.

  3. 03

    Main drum

    304 stainless steel for heat and corrosion; other grades on request.

  4. 04

    Insulation

    Ceramic-fibre modules: dense, heat-resistant, no shrinkage.

  5. 05

    Discharge

    Water-cooled discharge conveyor: good cooling, low cost.

  6. 06

    Induced draft

    304 stainless impeller with a special seal: no leakage.

  7. 07

    Heating

    Direct heating with natural gas, diesel or LPG, PLC temperature control.

  8. 08

    Transmission

    Inner-cylinder drive keeps the gear ring and riding rings away from heat.

  9. 09

    Combustion chamber

    Cast high-alumina refractory for long high-temperature service.

  10. 10

    Temperature monitoring

    Integrated PLC with automatic control.

  11. 11

    Sealing

    Four dynamic seals on the drum, each with an 8-layer structure.

  12. 12

    Purification

    Full combustion in the chamber, exhaust treated before discharge.

  13. 13

    PLC control

    Manual and automatic modes; feed rate, drum speed, fan frequency, temperature and remote assistance.

  14. 14

    Modular build

    Dual support of host and chassis for fast installation and commissioning.
