Overview
Carbonized coconut shell left in its natural piece form, with no pressing and no binder. It lights faster and peaks hotter than a briquette, at a lower price per ton. Two rounds of screening keep bags inside the stated 20 to 80 mm band, and the fines go to the industrial line.
Burn profile
Shell lump comes up to high heat quickly and burns down sooner than a pressed format, which suits open grills and quick service. For a long oven service, hardwood lump is the better choice.
Screening and moisture
Two rounds of screening keep the size band, and the liner bags hold moisture to 10% maximum in transit so ignition behaves the same at humid destinations.
Packaging
Woven PP bags of 15 kg with a moisture liner, palletized or floor-loaded. Roughly 17 t fits a 20 ft container.

Product FAQ
Ordering, testing, and shipping for this line.
What separates natural shell lump from pressed briquettes?
Lump is unpressed shell broken down to 20 to 80 mm with no binder, so it lights faster and burns hotter at the start, whereas a pressed briquette holds a steadier temperature for longer. Buyers with a quick grilling turnover generally go for lump.
What contract specs apply to this lump?
Fixed carbon at 72% minimum, ash at 3.5% maximum, moisture at 10% maximum, and 6,800 kcal/kg minimum. Sizing is screened twice, keeping the carry-over of fines below what a bagging line would reject.
How is the lump bagged for export?
Woven PP bags of fifteen kilograms with a moisture liner, which is what holds a 10% moisture spec through a humid ocean leg. Printed bags start at 500 bags per design.
Can I check the lot before I pay the balance?
Yes. Each batch has an internal burn record, and the container certificate of analysis quotes the batches loaded. SGS or Sucofindo pre-shipment inspection can be booked at cost, with the report in your hands before the vessel sails.
