Media group "Technologies and Innovations" has already held three congresses, and all of them had great success because every time the congress gathers a full hall of people who actively discuss topical issues.

 

 

The second conference day, December 13, will include a business tour of the enterprise with freezing capacities - Kamianka-Buzky plant food products. And everyone who is interested in the freezing business will be glad to get there. It is a new but successful enterprise that started its work in August 2023 in Kamyanka-Buzka, Lviv region. For a new company from Lviv Oblast, the issue of energy efficiency and saving was crucial. Thus, for the freezing system, it was decided to use carbon dioxide as a refrigerant instead of Freon. The company has installed equipment from leading European and Ukrainian manufacturers - a shock - freezing tunnel from the Polish manufacturer UNIDEX, part equipment from Uni-Masz H.M. Juszczuk Sp.J., Sortex optical sorter, and other equipment from powerful manufacturers. The refrigeration system was installed by Koriel Group company. The total area of the plant is about 4.5 thousand m 2, which includes the pre-cooling room, the product preparation workshop, a shock-freezing tunnel with a capacity of 3 tons per hour, as well as a packing place and storage.

 

Moreover, the second conference day will cover a visit to the farm "Prykarpattia Agro" which grows blueberries under the TM Boikivchanka in the village of Pidberezhya Ivano-Frankivsk region. This farm also grows raspberries and is going to grow strawberries in the modular greenhouses thanks to received state grant. The farm is now building 8 greenhouses measuring 10 x 50 m. 

 

Overall, the VIII International Scientific and Practical conference "Berry Growing and Processing: Technologies and Innovations" will be devoted to the technologies of growing berry crops.
