About KKT chillers
KKT chillers, a brand of ait-deutschland GmbH headquartered in Kasendorf (Bavaria), has been developing and producing energy-efficient chiller and heat pump solutions for industrial and medical applications for over 30 years. The portfolio includes several chiller series (Green Line, Nano Line, Vario Line, Compact Line, Evo Line), medical coolers for MRI and CT, OEM cooling solutions, and high-performance heat pumps of the Thermodynamixx brand (MAGMA, ARCTIC). The systems are designed custom-built for the respective application, including plug-and-play delivery with custom connections and communication interfaces (e.g. Anybus gateway, Modbus). Fields of application include medical technology, the plastics and packaging industry, laser technology, chemicals and pharmaceuticals, surface technology, electronics, machine tools, the printing industry, and filtration. The offering is complemented by a 365/7/24 emergency service, maintenance packages, and health checks. At the Kasendorf site, self-developed heat-pump-based energy generators are used for the heating and cooling processes of its own buildings; the company is part of the Nibe Group and is internationally represented via a US sales company (KKT chillers, Inc., Illinois) as well as contacts worldwide.
