Konvekta - Tradition & Innovation
KONVEKTA has been a successful and innovative manufacturer of thermo systems for commercial vehicles since 60 years. Therefore Konvekta is able to provide a wide range of high-quality products for the most applications.
Due to our well-based experience we are able to offer smart solutions for regular air conditioning units for standard vehicles and also the development of specialized solutions for non-standard applications.
We emphasize on functional character and design. Especially in the field of vehicle technology the service has a very high status because it is absolutely important that partners and customers can rely on a well functioning world-wide service and production network with trained employees.
- Technology and innovation centre
In-house air conditioning devices and heat pumps will be tested and optimised in the new technology and innovation centre. Equipped with the most modern technology, requirements of the customers shall be met in the best possible way. With the ever-increasing demands of the market and the tougher competition in the air conditioning industry, Konvekta is safeguarding its long term position with this new construction.
Apart from offices and presentation rooms on two floors, as well as a control centre on the upper floor, there shall be an exhibition and presentation area for customers and visitors. There are a vehicle air conditioning chamber on the ground floor for vehicles to drive in, measuring a total length of 24 metres and a height of 5.5 metres that is designed for the most diverse types and sizes of vehicles. The new building meets the most stringent requirements, being divisible in three independently functioning test regions or even as a large area chamber for special vehicles, such as, for example, double-decker and articulated buses.
The air conditioning and heating units are tested for their suitability of use under the most diverse conditions of temperature and climate – wherein even solar radiation is simulated and a temperature range of -25 °C up to +50 °C can be reached. In the additional function and performance test benches, individual components can be tested both stringently and comprehensively. Furthermore, even the service life can be determined in test benches especially set up for this purpose.
The quality of the products is crucial for the success of a company. The technology and innovation centre will ensure the quality of the products and also make a significant contribution to the optimisation of the manufacturing processes.
- Sheet metal production
With state-of-the art production facilities on the pressing technique sector, we are able to manufacture everything from a prototype part up to mass production at low cost.
Pressing/Nibbling/Edging
Efficient work in our sheet metal production department
On our CNC pressing-nibbling machines, we are able to handle steel and aluminum sheets up to 4 mm thickness as well as stainless steel sheets up to 2mm thickness and the dimensions up to a length of 3,000 mm and a width of 1,500 mm. With our state-of-the-art CNC-controlled trimming presses we are able to edge parts with a edging length up to 3 m.
Our production facilities are very economic. We produce with our modern machines according to different process steps fully or partly automated in one go.
We manufacture your steel, stainless steel or aluminum parts in single or serial production, with the utmost precision and at the utmost cost effectiveness.
- Heat exchanger production
An optimized layout for production expertise guarantees the realization of specific customer requirements. Together with our customers, we develop the optimal geometry, combination of materials and the supply pipe specification. For special tasks, we offer use-oriented surface coatings.
Made-to-measure for the respective operating conditions, our products stand for durability and a high safety level.
Surface Treatment
If desired by the customer, we offer our heat exchangers as a varnished version. The varnishing provides an increased corrosion resistance as well as the possibility to choose colour and design according to individual requirements.
- Broad variety of piping sets
Our continuously growing production facility underlies a strict quality management and manufacturing and testing is done according to ISO standard. Our spacious tubing stock and the comprehensive stock of finished products guarantee the necessary flexibility and the ability to react quickly on the customers’ requirements.
Materials
For the production of y-pipes, distributors and collectors, we use copper pipes fulfilling CUPRO CLIMA standard. Fins are made of aluminum or copper band. On request, we also offer special aluminum alloys, hygroscopic coatings and special surface coatings.
Expanding
The connection of pipe and fin is established by mechanical expansion of the pipes.
Leakage Testing
As standard practice, all heat exchangers and construction parts undergo a permeability and pressure test according to DIN 8964. Therefore, an air-pressure underwater test is conducted.
Quality Assurance
Our company is certified according to DIN EN ISO 9001-2015.
For all divisions and departments, there are defined quality assurance plans which guarantee the high quality standard of our products.
- Housing Technology
Concerning housing technology, we can individually adapt our manufacturing procedures to different customers’ needs: Starting with sheet metal casings from our own production, followed by synthetic die-cast components and up to an extremely long-lasting and durable construction material which forms the basis for the reception of all construction elements.
- Production of heating, ventilation, cooling and air conditioning units

Konvekta C.H. Schmitt Foundation
In the center of Germany is the ancient and diverse cultural landscape of Schwalm: On the middle reaches of the river is home, who gave it its name, the North Hesse region extends between Knüllgebirge, Vogelsberg and Kellerwald. It encloses some 25 villages and towns Ziegenhain and Treysa, when taken together with other unincorporated areas, the city of the same name Schwalmstadt.
The area is a traditional, self-contained and dominantly agricultural settlement area on the edge of ancient trade routes. Despite its economic remoteness and at first glance, without the necessary political and cultural requirements, the region has only to rich heritage and a large pool of cultural products.
Since the 50s of the 20th century, an increasing loss of Schwälmer tradition is to complain. The typical, richly designed costumes about is only very occasionally carried by mostly elderly women; the men's costume is, however, long gone from the streets.
The Konvekta C.H. Schmitt Foundation has made in the country version uncommitted public contract to own: the knowledge to preserve the traditions and the cultural identity of Schwalm from responsibility for this region.
The foundation was recognized on 2 March 2004 as a foundation under civil law - It pursues exclusively and directly charitable purposes.
