Chemicals β€” food-grade binder only

Why the coal burns differently

Integrated from shell to shipment

Shell collection, activated carbon plant, briquetting and BBQ grill assembly all sit under one roof in Palladam, Tamil Nadu, India β€” which is why we can promise raw material quality instead of hoping for it.

01

Chemical-free standard

100% food-grade binders

Pure potato starch binder only. Zero barium nitrate, zero sodium nitrate, zero chemical accelerants β€” so nothing carcinogenic comes off the coal and into the food.

0 chemical additives

02

UV solar drying yard

55,000 sq. ft UV covered yard

Natural solar drying under UV-trapping sheets. Multi-day slow drying prevents internal micro-cracks β€” which is what gives the briquette its long, steady, non-spitting burn.

55,000 sq. ft

03

Clean renewable power

3.5 MW captive windmills

We generate 3.5 MW of wind energy against a combined plant draw of 2.8 MW. Every container that leaves Palladam is manufactured carbon-negative.

Before you enquire

The six questions every buyer asks

One 20ft FCL β€” roughly 15 tons. We do not force 18-ton-plus FCL-only terms, so a first trial container stays affordable. Repeat buyers usually move to 40ft high cube at ~26 tons.
