tool Temp improves its facilities
Drafting PU15/10/2002
Koller + Co established the manufacture of Tool Temp in Speicher in 1973. Only a year later had developed the first unit for restraint. At that time the production for the year was 17 units and already in 1975 moved to Roggwil. It is only the beginning of a company represented in Spain by Alboex (www.alboex.com) and considered to be the first manufacturer of atemperadores.
After a first move to only two years of its Foundation, as a result of permanent expansion, the company moved with its 35 employees to Romanshorn in 1986. During the later years, production has increased continuously. In 1998 / 1999 production increase was so great that took the decision to move the carrier to Sulgen.
Today, Tool-Temp AG is the largest European manufacturer of atemperadores. 95 Percent of the more than 8,000 units, are supplied to European countries, as well as to 30 countries around the world. Employs approximately to 150 people in order to meet the current demand. In their workshops are manufactured not only atemperadores, but also refrigerators and baths of conditioning for pieces of nylon. The foundry industry, the plastics, chemistry and pharmaceuticals required units for restraint.

A history of expansion
Following the acquisition of an area of 34,000 m2 in Sulgen, the first stone was laid on 3 April 2000. Three areas for offices, production and warehouse with a total of 170 m long and 30 m wide and also an additional external store is planned. The production has 4 floors of 5,000 m2 each and offices concerned with 5 floors.
The energy and environmental concept of the building is very interesting. The rain water for example, is collected in tanks and is subsequently transferred to a lagoon of retention of 50 m long x 20 m wide. The water from the production recovers. As the system of heating and hot water, cover the energy needed by three burners of oil of 500 kw each. The loss of heat is used as much as possible. The pollution of the oil burners, is cooled to 30 ° C using a heat exchanger driver. The recovered heat is introduced into a tank of 20,000 litres. The exits of air (ovens and rooms) are equipped with air/air heat exchangers. Two fans located on each floor re-circulan the hot air to heat the building. Two collectors of solar energy with a total capacity of 150 kw, heated two water tanks for 20,000 litres.
A large amount of heat is produced during the test of how each of the atemperadores and refrigerators. This energy is introduced or is out of the three tanks of 20,000 l. to save hundreds of kw of power.
The compressed air supply is guaranteed by 12 compressors of approx. 100 kw. The hot air produced is also used to heat the building.
On the first floor it has installed a fully automatic machine for the painted. This machine is modded with the most modern technical advances.
The transfer to the new building could start in December 2001 and was completed at the end of February 2002
