At Chardust we use custom-made pillow briquetting equipment imported from Sree Engineering Works in Hyderabad, India.

We have been sufficiently impressed with this equipment to have become Sree agents for Africa. The machinery is solidly built, easy to maintain in locations with limited spares availability and up to 90% cheaper than European or North American equivalents.

All machinery is made to the specifications of the customer to whatever level of sophistication suits the intended market.
