TKT has been able to further improve the insulation values of its insulated containers. This is the result of the so-called k-value measurements, which have now been carried out again. During the tests, TKT insulated containers were, of course, again awarded the ATP and HACCP certificates. The k-value measurements, prescribed by law to be taken every six years, must prove that the products meet the requirements of the ATP Agreement. For this purpose, the insulated containers are tested in appropriate laboratories. The result for the TKT insulated containers was extremely positive. The continuous improvement of the transport containers – especially the foam system – made it possible to once more improve the k-values. For TKT customers, this means increased security and approval for use for fresh and frozen goods.

A new 350-ton press has been put into operation at TKT GmbH in Arnsberg. With this machine, the specialist for insulated containers has once again invested in the quality of its products. The press guarantees improved dimensional accuracy and allows large series to be produced more variably. This also increases production flexibility at TKT, which ultimately benefits customers. The installation of the press was a feat of strength. A new foundation had to be cast for the machine. Two cranes then lifted the new press through the open ceiling into the production hall.

TKT, a market and quality leader for insulated containers for more than 40 years, has also been able to further expand its business in the USA. Numerous new customers have been acquired who are now using TKT’s insulated containers. In the United States, trucks with refrigeration units are still mainly used. However, TKT insulated containers are now becoming of increasing interest to customers in the USA because they can save transport and energy costs and make the delivery of fresh and frozen goods more flexible. Word of these advantages has long since spread to other countries around the world. TKT insulated containers have been sold in Korea, Taiwan, Ghana, China and Hong Kong. These countries are also increasingly relying on TKT products.

Special TKT insulated containers allow the user particularly flexible use in the transport of goods. The small insulated boxes of the N-165 / G-180 / G-250 model series can be placed in existing rolling containers. As a result, on the one hand, cooled goods can be transported in the thermal container simultaneously with the dry product range in the rolling container.

On the other hand, customers who wish to continue using their lattice rolling containers can use the TKT insulted containers inside. Nothing changes for the truck planning, since the dimensions of the rolling containers remain the same.

The same principle is fulfilled by the revised TKT C-560 insulated container. This is particularly suitable for supplying small branches of food chains or petrol stations. The insulated container has a grid attachment so that chilled and dry goods can be transported simultaneously. This saves space and above all time – and thus costs in the case of deliveries to the store or gas station on site.
