What is Carbon Activation Plant
Carbon activation plant is continuous production equipment used to produce high-quality activated carbon from carbon raw materials by means of physical activation. Carbon activation plants can be used in the activation process of biomass carbonization materials, charcoal, and coal-based carbon. The carbonized material is obtained by the carbonization plant, and the raw materials of the biomass carbonized material are various, including but not limited to coconut shell, apricot shell, palm shell, nut shell, fruit shell, sawdust, rice husk, straw, etc.
The main equipment of the activation production line is the carbon activation kiln. The final product activated carbon produced by the continuous activation kiln produced by AGICO has high quality and can be widely used in water purification and other fields.
Activation Process
In the activated carbon manufacturing process, after the carbonized material enters the high-temperature activation furnace, under the action of the activation medium steam, the steam is fully contacted with the carbon material to be activated, and a reduction reaction occurs, thereby completing the activation process. During the period, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and other hydrocarbon gases will be produced, and the purpose of creating pores in the carbon particles is achieved through the gasification reaction of carbon.
The main equipment of the activation plant includes a material silo, elevator, feeder, carbon activation kiln, temperature measurement device, PLC control cabinet, cooling device, settling chamber, fan, and dust removal device.

Outstanding Advantages of Activation Equipment
As the largest activated carbon plant machinery manufacturer in Asia, AGICO has dozens of core patented technologies in the fields of high-end activated carbon production, activated carbon equipment technology development, and hazardous waste activated carbon regeneration technology. The annual export value of activated carbon production equipment can reach 200 million Yuan, and the market share of activated carbon equipment in Asia can reach 55%.
Full steam activation ambience
The new activation kiln designed by AGICO adopts a full steam activation ambience, which can effectively improve the activation effect of activated carbon. We have the core technology of high-end activated carbon production equipment, designed activation furnace production line with high production efficiency, and high quality of finished activated carbon.
Continuous operation mode to support large-scale production
Activated carbon rotary kiln is a device that uses physical methods, that is, high temperature + steam, to continuously activate carbon raw materials for production. Activated carbon rotary kiln can carry out continuous long-term uninterrupted production, with a large production capacity. The finished product quality indicators such as methylene blue adsorption value, iodine value, and other indicators are excellent.
Flexible and convenient operation, lower labor cost
All activated carbon activation equipment adopts a PLC control system, which changes the traditional operation mode, greatly reduces the labor intensity of workers, and greatly saves labor costs. The quality and safety of the activated carbon production process are controllable, which effectively improves production efficiency.
Successful Carbon Activation Plant Cases Show
Peru gold mine activated carbon activation plant project
