What we make for other brands
Koel Dehydrates is a drying, milling and packing unit in Coimbatore. We make dried and powdered ingredients and a few ready products for brands that sell them under their own name.
- Fruit, vegetable, leaf and flower powders, milled cool to the mesh size you need.
- Dried slices, flakes and granules for snacks, cereals, teas and mixes.
- Herbal tea blends and fruit and vegetable malts made to your formulation.
- Ready-to-cook gravies, chutney bases and ready-to-eat idiyappam for retail and for hotels.
Who it's for
Start-ups and food brands with a product idea but no dryer. Makers of soups, seasonings, beverages, bakery and nutraceuticals who need one ingredient to a fixed spec, batch after batch. Hotels and caterers who want their own bases and premixes made to their recipe.
How it works
- Brief. Tell us the product, the format, a rough quantity and how it should be packed.
- Trial. We make a small lot first so you can check colour, taste and texture before you commit to volume.
- Sourcing. We source the produce for you, or you send your own.
- Processing. Ozone wash, slow low-temperature drying and, for powders, heat-controlled milling.
- Checks. Every batch is checked for colour, aroma, moisture and microbial load before it's packed.
- Packing. In bulk for manufacturers, or in retail-ready packs labelled as agreed with you.
Getting the product right first
For first-time brands this is often the most useful part. Formulation and process advice comes straight from our founder, a food technologist trained at the Defence Food Research Laboratory (DRDO) and CSIR-CFTRI. Small trial batches mean you can adjust before you spend on volume.
Keeping every batch the same
Once your product is set up, the process stays fixed. That's what lets one batch match the next. If a batch doesn't meet the agreed specification, we tell you and work with you to put it right.
Your recipe stays yours
Recipes, specifications and brand details are used only for your work. We're happy to sign an NDA before you share anything.
