Nguyen Quoc Tuan, a 32-year-old mechanic in Lac Tanh town (Tánh Linh) has tinkered, built a screening machine, and crushed it to make fertilizer. His computer is visited by many localities and ordered .

Father died early, in 11th grade, Tuan had to take a break to work as a laborer to help his children. Seeing that he was hired enough to live through the day, Tuan asked his mother to study the welding job. After two years of apprenticeship in Ho Chi Minh City, three more years of work, Tuan has accumulated quite a bit of experience and some initial capital. In 1995, a mechanical repair shop on the banks of the Cat River in Lac Tanh town (Tanh Linh) of a 20-year-old young man, Nguyen Quoc Tuan, opened.

Initially Tuan only made iron doors, simple welding machines. In Tánh Linh in the years 1995-1997, people did not make three rice crops as much as in later years, there were many reasons but irrigation was the reason that farmers were most afraid of. Near La Nga River, the water source is plentiful but the small capacity water pump does not attract water to the fields, big machines, the farmers do not buy. In a 'hybrid' with some farmers in the neighborhood, the story of the water pump made Tuan think several nights. Then he discussed with Farmer Nam Re near his home, borrowed a pump to upgrade and succeeded unexpectedly.

Since the successful upgrade of the water pump, farmers in the region have come to order more and more to make triple rice. Then Tuan did both the machine for separating corn, beans, and slices of cassava . In 2007, knowing that Tuan was gifted with machines, Mr. Nguyen Huu Nghia, Deputy Director of Tanh Linh Thien Chi Community Development Center, brought To Tuan's shop, a mixed dry garbage bag, order Tuan to produce a garbage screening machine (separate iron, separate rock) and crush raw garbage into one to two cups of powder, to invest in a treatment plant. Lac Tanh waste.

Thinking several nights about the mechanism of operation, benefits of environmental improvement when manufacturing the garbage machine, Tuan decided to risk 'try once to tell' . Not until the date, but Tuan called him Meaning notice to receive machine production.

Strongly accept orders

In May 2007, the economic contract for the production of the garbage crusher was signed, binding both the liability for compensation. Tuan said: 'Knowing how many machines have never been afraid, but when I signed a contract to produce a garbage crusher, my people kept trembling, the writing handle was not standard'. That was the first contract with a relatively large amount of money involved in the profession, making Tuan unforgettable.

After signing the contract, after finishing one month, Tuan has not completed the drawing of the machine. Then, during a meal at the hotel, Tuan's wife grumbled down the rice mill in the village without degrading it. Hearing this, Tuan removed the meal, ran to the store to unpack the old rice mill that had been bought earlier to take the hotel filter as a model for the screening unit, separating steel from the mixed garbage before grinding.

After that, he studied other milling units to make a garbage mill into a powder. Three months of persistent testing and assembly time and time, assembling and testing, finally the screening and crushing machine with a capacity of 1.5 tons per day is also completed.

Mr. Nguyen Huu Nghia said: "There is Tuan's garbage crusher, Lac Tanh waste treatment plant that produces high quality organic fertilizer because it can separate hard waste, the rate of humus is over 70%, manure works to make soil porous, not toxic to the environment, so the market is very popular. "

Distributed by the Lac Tanh garbage treatment plant on the market, many people began to care about production technology, including Tuan's screening and crushing machine. So many localities came to learn, then ordered Tuan to do it. In May 2008, Tuan produced a screening machine to dispose of 5 tons of garbage per day for Phu Quy island.

Tuan is currently making another machine with a capacity of nearly 7 tons per day for other orders. Besides, Tuan is also completing the application for registration of intellectual property rights on the machine he created .
