Safe filling for all! Always stronger, faster, higher… But didn’t we forget something? 4

Safe filling for all! This is the way things are done today: Decanting with electrically driven pump Decanting by gravity With no safe alternatives for the low-volume LPG filling industry, we have seen - and will continue to see – filling solutions that don’t comply with international standards. It’s a problem. But whose problem is it? 6

Safe filling for all! The inconvenient truth! 7

Safe filling for all! These LPG fillers do not need a Flexspeed system that fills 4000 cyl/h. Nor do they need a compact palletizer. They need equipment with the following characteristics: • Low capacity • Easy to maintain • Affordable • Safe • Accurate • Reliable • Flexible Houston, we have a problem! 8

Safe filling for all! To solve a problem, it’s sometimes a good idea to see things in a new perspective. Perhaps you can’t even recognize something you know. 9

Safe filling for all! Step 1: Take a filling machine Step 2: Turn it upside down Step 3: Remove everything not needed for filling small volumes. 10

Safe filling for all! and then we end up with… A safe, accurate and affordable filling machine for small volumes • Simple design • Easy to install • Competitive price compared to any other type of filling machine • Fills both centre- and screw valves • Complies with all safety standards • Easy to operate • The same well know CUC control system as KC uses for all filling machines • OIML approved as Check Scale • Patented filling concept 11

Safe filling for all! Snapshots from the real world 19

Safe filling for all! Opportunities for KCFiLL1 NEW MARKETS • Huge interest from Asia, Central America and Africa • +150 units sold to new customers in new markets • In Africa, customers demand “full package” solutions (pump skids, etc.) EXISTING MARKETS • Customers in Europe are buying KCFiLL1 for filling small quantities of cylinders on a second line to supplement high-capacity filling lines In total, we have sold, after 8 months on the market, KCFiLL1 to 23 different countries around the world
