Why Ethiopia needs chain couplings
Ethiopia is Africa's second most populous country, with a large farming economy and state-built industrial parks for textiles and agro-processing. It is landlocked and imports mainly through Djibouti by rail and road.
Couplings absorb shock and misalignment between motors and driven equipment; their rubber elements and gear teeth wear and are replaced during planned shutdowns.
