| CholodSummit Rossija: Innovative refrigeration in the foodstuff chain The CholodSummit Rossija takes place in the Swissotel Krasnye Holmy in Moscow on 16–17 February 2010. "Innovative refrigeration in the foodstuff chain" is the core topic of the summit with accompanying foyer expo. Refrigeration applications play an important role in food processing, storage and distribution. Ten of the most important international companies from the refrigeration industry present their products and services at the foyer expo accompanying the summit. By organizing the CholodSummit Rossija in Moscow, the NürnbergMesse Group takes up a special issue of great importance for the Russian refrigeration industry. Russia has imported a large share of its food from abroad until now, but local production is to be stepped up appreciably in future. Innovative refrigeration equipment is required for the processing, storage and distribution of this food, which the Russian government wants to promote through suitable state support programmes. The ministries, associations and institutes in Russia are therefore very interested and have already confirmed their participation. They include Rossojuscholodprom – the Russian Union of the Refrigeration Industry Enterprises, the International Academy of Refrigeration – IAR, the Scientific Institution All-Union Research Refrigerating Institute, the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation, the Federal Agency for Fisheries of the Russian Federation, and the State Duma Committee on Agricultural Questions. The summit focuses on topical issues like "Energy efficiency and environmental protection", "Innovative solutions in the foodstuff chain: Refrigeration applications for production, storage, transport and distribution", "Heat pumps: Use of industrial waste heat" or "Legal, financial and administrative conditions for the development of the refrigeration industry in Russia". The experts can listen to interesting lectures such as "Efficiency and safety of refrigeration equipment for the food industry", "Eco-efficient system of centralized refrigeration supply for retail enterprises with the new Bitzer refrigeration compressors", "Cost savings during the project planning of industrial refrigeration equipment with piston compressor Grasso V with minimal entrainment of oil", "Energy efficiency in supermarkets on the basis of modern refrigeration technology and automation" or "Continuous cold chain – Resource-based strategy to ensure food quality", to mention only a few. The CholodSummit opens with the keynote speech, for which two noted experts have been obtained: Igor Martynovich Kalnin, Head of the Refrigeration and Cryogenic Engineering Department of the Moscow State University of Environmental Engineering, who also chairs the summit, and Alexander V. Baranenko, President of the International Academy of Refrigeration (IAR). Both associations support the CholodSummit Rossija. Small but smart is the motto of the foyer expo, at which participants at the CholodSummit can meet ten top international companies from the refrigeration industry and source comprehensive information about innovative refrigeration in the food industry. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Exhibition News :: home page |
