NOVELTY - A carbonization apparatus comprises carbonization part (2) which performs self sustained combustion of woody biomass raw material, carbonizes, and produces biomass charcoal (4), furnace part (1) which blocks gas flowing in carbonization part, pushing screw (7) which continuously sends woody biomass raw material to raw material part (3) located under the carbonization part from outside of furnace part, ventilation part (11) which is provided above the carbonization part and sends air from exterior to carbonization part, and mounting part which is connected to pushing screw.    USE - An apparatus for carbonizing woody biomass raw material, such as palm kernel shell, woody pellet-like biomass feedstock, or woody chip-like biomass feedstock, used for biomass charcoal manufacture (all claimed).    ADVANTAGE - Yield of product is improved, and energy cost is reduced.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - A carbonization apparatus comprises carbonization part (2) which performs self sustained combustion of woody biomass raw material, carbonizes, and produces biomass charcoal (4), furnace part (1) which blocks gas flowing in carbonization part, pushing screw (7) which continuously sends woody biomass raw material to raw material part (3) located under the carbonization part from outside of furnace part, ventilation part (11) which is provided above the carbonization part and sends air from exterior to carbonization part, and mounting part which is connected to pushing screw. Woody biomass raw material and generated biomass charcoal are mounted in mounting part. Air of quantity required for self sustained combustion of woody biomass raw material is supplied to mounted woody biomass raw material, self sustained combustion of woody biomass raw material is performed, carbonization process is carried out, and biomass charcoal is produced. Biomass charcoal is produced in state which covers outer side of newly sent woody biomass raw material. Manufactured biomass charcoal falls one by one from carbonization part by external force applied to newly sent woody biomass raw material. Part of heat energy produced by carbonization reaction in carbonization part is received, and carbonization reaction of newly sent woody biomass raw material is started. Removal of biomass charcoal and supply of new raw material are continuously performed. Biomass charcoal is continuously manufactured.
