Piny Kay Fuel Briquettes – Premium Heating

Premium Piny Kay Briquettes Wholesale from Ukraine

Carbonis LLC supplies premium Piny Kay (also spelled Pini Kay) wood briquettes to wholesale distributors, retailers, and commercial heating customers across Europe and globally. Our briquettes are manufactured using advanced compression technology from pure hardwood sawdust without additives, delivering superior heating performance, extended burn times, and minimal maintenance requirements.

As a Ukrainian wood fuel exporter, we offer competitive wholesale pricing, reliable supply, and flexible logistics for container loads and pallet shipments to meet the demands of firewood distributors, heating fuel retailers, and commercial heating applications.

Product Specifications & Technical Data

Physical Dimensions: Octagonal cross-section with center hole, approximately 65mm x 65mm x 230mm per briquette. The distinctive octagonal shape with central airflow hole is the signature characteristic of authentic Piny Kay briquettes, ensuring optimal combustion efficiency.

Calorific Value: 4,500 kcal/kg (18.8 MJ/kg), providing exceptional heat output per unit weight. This high energy density makes Piny Kay briquettes significantly more efficient than traditional firewood and comparable to high-grade coal.

Moisture Content: Less than 7% (typically 4-6%). This extremely low moisture content is achieved through the high-pressure, high-temperature compression process, ensuring immediate usability and efficient combustion without additional drying.

Ash Content: Less than 1% (typically 0.6-0.8%). Minimal ash production means less frequent cleaning of stoves, fireplaces, and heating systems, reducing maintenance time and costs.

Wood Species: Premium hardwood sawdust blend including oak, ash, and beech. Hardwood composition provides superior calorific value and longer burn duration compared to softwood-based briquettes (pine/spruce).

Burn Time: 3-4 hours per briquette under normal conditions. Actual burn time varies based on appliance type, air intake settings, and number of briquettes used, but consistently exceeds traditional firewood.

Density: Approximately 1.08-1.12 kg/dm³. High compression density ensures prolonged burning and maximum energy release per volume.

Production Process: Manufactured using hydraulic compression presses at pressures exceeding 1,100 bar and temperatures of 250-350°C. This process binds the wood particles through natural lignin activation without requiring chemical additives or binding agents.

Key Advantages of Piny Kay Briquettes

Superior Energy Efficiency: Piny Kay briquettes provide 40-50% more heat per kilogram than traditional firewood due to their extremely low moisture content and high compression density. This translates directly to lower fuel consumption and heating costs.

Extended Burn Duration: Each briquette burns 3-4 hours, significantly longer than standard firewood logs. This reduces refueling frequency for residential heating and provides sustained heat for commercial applications.

Minimal Smoke & Emissions: The combination of low moisture content, high compression, and center airflow hole ensures complete combustion with minimal smoke production. This makes Piny Kay briquettes suitable for urban areas with air quality regulations and indoor heating applications.

Extremely Low Ash Content: With less than 1% ash production, Piny Kay briquettes require significantly less cleaning and maintenance than firewood or coal. Ash removal frequency can be reduced to once weekly or less for residential users.

Space-Efficient Storage: The uniform size and shape of Piny Kay briquettes enable compact stacking with 40-50% less storage space required compared to equivalent heat value in firewood. No air gaps between irregular logs.

Year-Round Usability: Unlike firewood which requires 18-24 months seasoning, Piny Kay briquettes are ready to use immediately upon production. No moisture absorption from air due to compression density, enabling outdoor storage without degradation.

Clean Handling: Dust-free, bark-free, and pest-free product. No insects, mold, or dirt associated with traditional firewood. Safe for indoor storage in homes, retail environments, and warehouses.

Consistent Quality: Every briquette meets identical specifications. No variation in moisture content, size, or heating value between batches. This consistency is crucial for commercial heating applications and retail customer satisfaction.

Environmental Sustainability: Manufactured from sawmill waste (byproduct sawdust) that would otherwise be discarded or burned as waste. No trees are felled specifically for Piny Kay production, making this a truly sustainable heating fuel.

Applications & Target Markets

Residential Heating: Wood-burning stoves, fireplaces, wood boilers, multi-fuel stoves, pizza ovens, and outdoor chimeneas. Piny Kay briquettes work in any heating appliance designed for solid wood fuel.

Commercial Applications: Restaurants with wood-fired ovens, hotels and hospitality facilities, commercial greenhouses, workshops and industrial heating, and district heating systems.

Wholesale Distribution: Garden centers, hardware stores, supermarkets, petrol stations, fireplace/stove retailers, and heating fuel distributors supplying retail networks.

Export Markets: Currently supplying EU countries with capacity for UK (post-Brexit requirements), Scandinavia, and other European markets. Container loads available for international distribution.

Competitive Wholesale Pricing: Ukrainian production costs and favorable logistics enable competitive pricing (€180-220/ton range) while maintaining premium quality standards. Cost-effective alternative to Western European suppliers.

Strategic EU Location: Western Ukraine location provides shorter transportation distances to Central and Eastern European markets compared to Baltic states, reducing shipping costs and carbon footprint.

Reliable Supply Chain: Despite regional challenges, Ukrainian wood fuel industry maintains consistent production and export operations with proven track record of on-time container deliveries.

Quality Consistency: Advanced production equipment and quality control procedures ensure every pallet meets specifications. We conduct regular laboratory testing for calorific value, moisture, and ash content.

Sustainable Sourcing: Our briquettes utilize sawmill waste from furniture and timber industries. This circular economy approach converts waste material into premium heating fuel without additional tree harvesting.

Export Experience: Carbonis has supplied wood fuel products to multiple European countries with complete understanding of export documentation, phytosanitary requirements, and logistics coordination.

Usage Instructions & Best Practices

Initial Lighting: Use 2-3 briquettes with kindling or fire starter. The center hole facilitates airflow for efficient ignition. Once established, add additional briquettes as needed.

Optimal Loading: Use 3-5 briquettes simultaneously for best results. Single briquettes may not provide sufficient heat output for larger appliances.

Air Intake Adjustment: Due to low moisture content, adjust air intake to lower settings than traditional firewood. This extends burn time and maximizes efficiency.

Storage Recommendations: Store in dry location. While moisture-resistant due to compression, prolonged exposure to rain may affect surface quality. Covered outdoor storage acceptable; indoor storage ideal for retail environments.

Safety Note: Do not break briquettes before use. The octagonal shape and center hole are engineered for optimal combustion. Breaking disrupts airflow patterns.
