Kaloud charcoal discs

Coconut shell discs pre-scored in 3 and 4 slice patterns that fill a Kaloud Lotus style heat manager from edge to edge, rated for 110 minutes.

Within a season, lounges running Kaloud Lotus style heat managers tend to move most of their charcoal volume to discs, because one scored disc covers the whole device, lights as a single piece, and gives even heat from the first draw. Our discs are pressed in a dedicated die from coconut shell to the same 80% fixed carbon spec as the rest of the shisha range, and burn for about 110 minutes.

Which heat management devices are the discs made for?

The Kaloud Lotus I and II, and any round heat manager built to the same inner diameter. Kaloud and Lotus are trademarks of the device maker, and these discs are an independent product made to fit them. Include the device model in your RFQ and we confirm the fit from a sample before you commit to a container.

Three slices or four?

K3 is the standard and fits most branded disc boxes on the market. K4 gives premium lounges finer heat control, and suits tobaccos that run hot, since a server can lift one smaller wedge to cool the bowl. Both discs burn for about 110 minutes at 80% fixed carbon and 7,500 kcal/kg.

Why do lounges move from cubes to disc charcoal?

In a round heat manager, cubes leave gaps and need turning. A disc covers the whole base, so heat is even from the first draw, staff light one piece rather than three, and the pre-scored wedges let a server adjust a bowl without disturbing the rest. The outcome is fewer charcoal changes per session and a more consistent bowl across the whole floor.

How are the discs scored and tested?

The score depth is set so the disc survives sea freight in one piece yet separates by hand along the lines. Each batch is dried to 5% moisture and checked for fixed carbon, ash, clean separation, and burn time. The certificate of analysis for your container quotes the batches loaded, and the MSDS and the self-heating test report go with every booking.

Product FAQ

Ordering, testing, and shipping for this line.

What is the minimum order quantity?

One 20 ft container, loaded to about 18 t. A 40 ft holds about 26 t, and larger quantities earn a discount. We do not ship LCL or pallet lots, although a mixed-product container is fine for a trial.

Can I get samples before ordering?

Yes. Samples up to 1 kg are free, with the shipping on your account. Larger samples are charged at a minimum price. Ship collect on your own DHL or FedEx account, or ask us for a quote from our preferred courier.

What is the production lead time?

Typically 1 to 4 weeks from order confirmation to loading, depending on the quantity and the orders already in production. Peak season slots in Q3 and Q4 should be booked in advance.

What payment terms do you accept?

A 30% deposit on order and 70% against the shipping documents. On programme contracts we accept an irrevocable LC at sight. First orders are not shipped on open account.

How do I know the spec is genuine?

Each batch is tested in our own lab, and the container CoA quotes the batches that were loaded. On request we book SGS, Sucofindo, or Carsurin for pre-shipment inspection and factory audit at cost, and the MSDS and self-heating test report are issued before the vessel sails.

What packaging options exist?

Shisha lines go in 500 g, 1 kg, and 3 kg inner boxes packed into master cartons. BBQ lines go in 3 kg, 5 kg, 10 kg, and 20 kg bags. Lump and fines go in PP bags, kraft bags, and 1 t jumbo bags. Above the design minimums, any product can carry your branding.

Do you produce under private label?

Yes. Any product in the catalogue can carry your branding: your artwork on inner boxes, bags, and master cartons, printed to your dieline once proofs are approved. Mixed containers under one label are a routine way to launch a range.

Which Incoterms and ports do you work with?

FOB Jakarta (Tanjung Priok) or Semarang as standard, CIF or CFR to the major ports on request, and EXW for buyers running their own forwarders. The MSDS and the non-self-heating test report carriers require under IMDG Class 4.2 come with every booking.
