New Assembly Line for high-capacity units: efficiency, innovation, and integrated logistics
At ThermoKey, we believe that industrial innovation goes beyond product development. Continuous improvement of production processes is equally crucial. That’s why we’ve launched a new strategic investment: a dedicated assembly line for our ventilated units — including the Super Jumbo models — capable of producing up to two high-performance Dry Coolers per day.
This new line was created with a clear objective: to optimize operational flows, improve internal logistics, and increase overall production efficiency. The project is fully aligned with lean manufacturing principles. Minimizing waste, reducing handling time, and enhancing flexibility are essential to meeting market demands.
The new assembly line also supports the growth of strategic products like the Modular Dry Cooler with microchannel technology, addressing the rising demand for high-density, large-scale industrial cooling solutions.
Optimizing space and productivity
The ST2 facility was selected for its large surface area and high ceilings. This — together with two 5-ton overhead cranes — facilitate the assembly and handling of large equipment. These features also pave the way for potential direct loading onto transport vehicles, offering significant advantages in logistical efficiency.
To further enhance productivity, the line has been positioned near the existing vertical storage system, already operational within ST2. This allows immediate access to key components, dramatically reducing wait times and simplifying operational flow.
The process concludes with the integration of a new automated electrical testing booth, designed to ensure the highest quality standards. Fully integrated with the company’s management system, the booth enables testing of all units produced — including those up to 150 kW/Amp.
This initiative reinforces ThermoKey’s commitment to a leaner, more responsive, and flexible manufacturing model — one that is well-equipped to meet the challenges of the global market with greater agility and competitiveness.
