From coconut shell to premium briquette — full in-house control using the latest pyrolysis technology.
Step by Step
We purchase coconut shells primarily from sellers sourcing from households — cleaner and drier than those from Copra or DC mills. Collection points are set up in community areas and rural schools, supporting low-income families.
Shells are loaded into our purpose-built horizontal barrel furnaces using the pyrolysis method. Each furnace processes 2,500 kg of shells per cycle, producing 1,000 kg of high-carbon charcoal over 8 hours — without polluting the environment.
Our five-chamber gas separation system extracts all gases, vapours, wood vinegar and tar created during carbonising — producing charcoal with minimal volatile substances and moisture.
The charcoal goes through crushing, mixing with food-grade corn starch binder, extruding, cutting to 25×25×25mm cubes, and drying. All steps conform to strict quality control procedures.
Finished briquettes are packed within 1 hour of drying into sealed 1kg inner bags or boxes, then into master carton boxes. Final quality inspection is carried out before despatch.

Responsible Sourcing
Most Sri Lankan households consume coconuts for cooking and the shells are typically sold to shell collectors. We purchase from sellers sourcing household shells — cleaner and drier than those from mills.
We have set up shell collection points in community areas where low-income households are able to convert shells into rupees. In neighbouring rural schools, funds collected pay for basic school requirements.
