Company & eco-infrastructure

The only fully integrated coconut charcoal manufacturer in India

From coconut shell collection to activated carbon, briquette manufacturing and BBQ grill assembly β€” Flareon Briquettes controls 100% of raw material quality.

Manufacturing pillars

Three things competitors outsource. We own all three.

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

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

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.

3.5 MW vs 2.8 MW draw

End-to-end process β€” briquettes

Landfill shell to sealed carton

Four controlled stages. Nothing sub-contracted, nothing chemically accelerated.

  1. Open sacks of coconut shell charcoal chips and carbon powder
    01

    Raw shell recovered

    Coconut shell waste upcycled straight out of the landfill stream.

  2. Milled coconut shell carbon powder
    02

    Crushing & carbonising

    Controlled pyrolysis tuned for high fixed carbon.

  3. Plant team working the briquette press line
    03

    Potato starch binding & compacting

    High-density hydraulic pressing into pillow, hexagon and cube.

  4. Freshly pressed pillow briquettes laid out on a drying tray
    04

    UV solar drying & packing

    Multi-day UV drying, then poly-bag sealed against sea humidity.

End-to-end process β€” activated carbon

Shell char to filtration-grade carbon

The second line off the same raw material: activation, milling and testing before a sack is sealed.

  1. Graded coconut shell char selected for activation
    01

    Shell char selection

    High fixed-carbon shell charcoal graded and screened before activation.

  2. Carbon conveyor feeding the press beside stacked drying crates
    02

    Steam activation

    High-temperature steam activation opens the internal pore structure.

  3. Milled coconut shell carbon powder
    03

    Milling & sieving

    Milled to powder or granular mesh grades and sieved to specification.

  4. Testing and packing coconut shell activated carbon
    04

    Testing & packing

    Iodine value checked, then sealed into 25 kg moisture-barrier sacks.

Sustainability impact

Carbon-negative by design

Every tonne of Flareon coconut shell charcoal briquettes displaces wood charcoal that would otherwise come from felled trees. Production runs on captive windmill power β€” 3.5 MW generated against a 2.8 MW plant draw β€” so the surplus alone makes this export line carbon-negative before a single briquette leaves the yard.

Agricultural waste feedstock, zero deforestation

Coconut plantation β€” the renewable shell waste stream our briquettes are made from

Renewable feedstock

Shell waste from working coconut plantations β€” a by-product stream, never a felled tree.
