About HTT AG
Heat Transfer Technology AG (HTT AG), headquartered in Zug, Switzerland, specializes in thermal process engineering. The company develops, calculates and manufactures custom heat exchanger plates (Dimple Plate / Pillow Plate), Dimple Jackets, falling film chillers, industrial ice makers and ice storage systems. Production is carried out by laser welding (including Trumpf systems) from mild steel, austenitic stainless steels and titanium; the ice machines are built entirely of stainless steel and operate with the refrigerant NH3 in pump mode at capacities of 5 to 150 tonnes of ice per day. Thermodynamicists, mechanical and welding engineers handle thermal calculations, design, engineering and system integration, complemented by CFD analyses, FEA and digital methods such as AI-assisted simulation. In addition to products, HTAG offers basic engineering, process optimization, revamping and energy efficiency studies. Customers come primarily from food processing (dairies, fish, meat, baked goods, breweries), chemicals, pharmaceuticals, concrete production and energy technology. In addition to the headquarters in Zug, there is a subsidiary in Olching, Germany; the systems are sold worldwide.
