NETZSCH Trockenmahltechnik GmbH
NETZSCH Fine Impact Mill Condux® Compact from NETZSCH Food & Confectionery
The ATEX-compliant Condux® Compact makes the installation of an efficient grinding plant considerably easier for a variety of different products: With this newly developed plant design explosion protection valves or explosion-suppression equipment, explosion-decoupling, ventilators and even dust filter systems are no longer necessary in a classical sense. NETZSCH has now revised this plant concept once again and improved it in decisive points: The footprint (space requirement) of the compact plant is 80% smaller than that of comparable standard grinding plants with the same throughput capacities. This also has an effect on the investment costs, which are about 30% lower.

SOLERCOOL TECHNOLOGIES LLC
Turning sun into Power of Refrigeration for post harvest loss prevention
Africa one of the few continents with long sunny days and plenty of sunshine. At the same time, hot weather and high solar intensity also leads to faster spoilage of our fruits, vegetables, flowers, dairy products. We turn what would have cause spoiling( sun) of these agro-products into solution ( refrigeration technology) for farmers in Africa hence reducing food wastage after harvest.
