Blacksmith Victor Manastirly from Ciadar-Lunga is present at the exhibit “Made in Moldova” with biomass boilers made by him. The entrepreneur has told IPN’s reporter that he started by making iron gates and fences and in time learned to forge metal to make decorative objects for gardens and then boilers.

The idea of making boilers adjusted to the conditions in Moldova came to his mind when he saw how much biomass waste is burned in the fields. Victor Manastirly said resources that can be used to heat homes are burned in Moldova. The boiler was patented and he is the only one who has the legal right to make it.

The boiler can heat an area of about 150-200 square meters. It burns wood, briquettes, pellets and any type of biomass that burns. It can be fueled manually or programmed to work autonomously. It can maintain the temperature of water, can fuel itself automatically and can throw out ash.

The blacksmith said he has more ideas and will come with them at other “Made in Moldova” exhibitions when he puts them into practice so as to popularize them. A boiler made by the entrepreneur from Gagauzia costs 30,000 lei.

The national exhibition “Made in Moldova” is held at the exhibitions center “Moldexpo” during February 1-5. The event involves more than 350 producers from all over the country.
