What We Do
Our Production Process
Our production process involves carbonizing raw coconut shells in a controlled environment. Our final product is often available as briquettes, which are pressed into various shapes like cubes, hexagons, or pillows to suit the preferences of different markets.
To make briquettes, coconut shells should be made into powder after carbonization. We use carbonization furnaces for this purpose. Since charcoal powder has no viscosity, we add a binder to help it form briquettes. With a binder, the charcoal briquettes are more dense and the surface smoother. The most common binders we use are corn starch with water. Then the food is palatable and there is no harmful gas after burning.
The charcoal briquettes are packed on trays and dried naturally in the open air. Generally, it takes about 3-5 days for briquettes to dry completely by natural drying. In the absence of sunlight, charcoal briquettes are packed on trays and dried using industrial dryers. Industrial drying takes about 2-4 hours to completely dry the briquettes. These charcoal briquettes are stored on shelves in a dry warehouse.

Coconut Shell Charcoal Briquttes production process
Here is a clear, simple, and practical explanation of how Hexagonal Coconut Shell Charcoal Briquettes are made. This is the process used by most factories.
Dry coconut shells are collected.
Shells are cleaned to remove dust, fiber, or coconut meat.
Only hard, mature shells are used for best quality.
Coconut shells are burned in a carbonization kiln
Low oxygen environment is used.
Shells slowly burn for 4–8 hours until they turn into black charcoal.
This charcoal is cooled and then crushed into fine powder.
Final output: Pure coconut shell charcoal powder.
Charcoal powder is mixed with:
Natural binder (usually Corn starch)
Water
Purpose:
Binder helps the briquettes hold their shape and stay strong.
This mixture becomes a soft, dough-like texture.
The mixture is fed into an extruder machine.
The machine compresses the mixture into a long hexagonal stick with a center hole.
The hole helps airflow → strong, stable burning. Sticks come out in long lengths.
The Square charcoal cubes are cut into required sizes:
25mm/ 26mm (Or as the customer requests.)
The long hexagonal charcoal sticks are cut into required sizes:
5cm/ 10cm/ 20cm (Or as the customer requests.)
This mixture is fed into a pillow briquette press machine, also called:
Double roller press/ Ball press machine.
The machine has two rotating rollers with pillow-shaped molds that press and form the briquettes.
Output: Smooth, uniform pillow shape, Strong compression, Identical size.
Common shapes: 25×25mm /30×30 mm /50×50mm
Briquettes are placed in a drying oven Or Sun drying racks
They are dried until moisture is less than 5%.
(Small moisture = easy to light & long burning.)Finished briquettes are checked for:
Strength (no cracks, no breakage)
Uniform shape, Low ash, Long burn time, Odorless and smokeless performance
Why Choose Us
why should you Buy Our products?
Raw Material: It is made from 100% natural, fully matured coconut shells. This is a sustainable and eco-friendly practice as it utilizes a waste product from the country's massive coconut industry.
High Fixed Carbon: The fixed carbon content is a crucial indicator of energy. Sri Lankan charcoal is known for its high fixed carbon percentage, often exceeding 75%. This leads to a longer and more consistent burn time compared to wood charcoal.
Low Volatile Matter (VM): As a result of a thorough carbonization process, the volatile matter is kept at a minimum, usually less than 15%. This ensures a clean, odorless, and smokeless burn, which is essential for a high-quality shisha experience.
High Gross Calorific Value (GCV): The GCV is a measure of the heat energy released. High-quality Sri Lankan shisha charcoal has a GCV in the range of 7,200 to 7,600 Kcal/kg, indicating its high heat output and efficiency.
Low Ash Content: High-quality Sri Lankan charcoal typically has a very low ash content, often specified as less than 5%, and sometimes as low as 2-3%. This means a cleaner burn, easier cleanup, and minimal interference with the shisha's flavor.
Quality: Our products have high quality and 100% eco-friendly.
Lang Burning Time
Our charcoal briquettes, made from coconut shells, are a more environmentally friendly option for heating, as no trees are specifically cut down for their production.
While lump charcoal is favored for quick, high-heat searing, long-burning charcoal cubes (briquettes) are the champion for any cooking that requires a sustained and predictable heat source, making them a great choice for slow-cooked barbecue, smoking, and long grilling sessions,
No Spark
The lack of sparking and "tracking" (the production of fly-away ash or small, sooty particles) in long-burning charcoal cubes is a major advantage for several reasons, impacting both safety and the quality of the grilling experience.
The benefits of non-sparking and non-tracking charcoal cubes go beyond simple convenience. They contribute to a safer, cleaner, and more enjoyable grilling experience.
Odors Free
The "odors free" benefit of charcoal cubes during burning is a significant advantage, and it's a direct result of the high-quality materials and production processes used. This benefit goes far beyond just a more pleasant smell; it has a direct impact on the safety, cleanliness, and, most importantly, the flavor of your food.
"odors free" is not just a marketing term; it's an indicator of a superior product that delivers a safer, cleaner, and ultimately, better-tasting grilling experience.
Smokeless
The smokeless nature of charcoal cubes during a long burn is a key benefit that enhances the grilling or cooking experience in multiple ways. This characteristic is a result of a high-quality production process, often involving the use of pure, natural materials like coconut shells and a high degree of carbonization.
The lack of thick, acrid smoke means you can enjoy the experience without the risk of irritating eyes or lungs in our products
