The VihoX-15AC 15HP air-cooled industrial water chiller provides heavy-duty central cooling for multi-station thermoforming lines, large food container molds, and multi-machine cup production bays. Engineering 41.8 kW (35,948 kcal/h) of continuous heat removal via a 13.62 kW scroll compressor, it stabilizes mold temperatures across simultaneous forming, trimming, and stacking stations. A generous 270-liter SUS304 stainless steel vessel dampens temperature fluctuations during intermittent mold cycling.
Constructed on a rigid structural steel chassis with a heavy-duty industrial blue-and-white powder-coated finish, the VihoX-15AC handles harsh plant conditions with ease. Its 1.5 kW circulation pump supplies 7.17 m³/h of chilled coolant across DN40 flanges, maintaining high Reynolds numbers inside intricate mold baffles. Overhead dual high-efficiency fans evacuate 15,000 m³/h of condenser heat, while the multi-stage electronic control system prevents thermal throttling even under continuous 24/7 operating schedules.
Quality assurance protocols require every VihoX 15HP chiller to complete extended continuous operational verification at our facility. Our engineers inspect four-point refrigeration pressures, verify phase protection interlocks, and measure decibel output alongside thermal pulldown speeds on multi-station tooling circuits.

The VihoX-15AC is engineered to support one medium three-station thermoformer (such as the VihoX 710×850 or 710×610), or dual simultaneous cup making machines running high-speed food container packaging.
Multi-station machines have separate forming and punch-die cooling requirements; the 270L buffer ensures both stations receive chilled water at stable temperatures without cross-station thermal interference.
The entire fluid circuit is built with SUS304 stainless steel reservoir walls, copper heat exchange coils, and brass/bronze fittings, ensuring rust-free operation that protects precision CNC-machined mold channels.
Yes, with 7.17 m³/h flow and 41.8 kW capacity, it can provide chilled water to 3-roll sheet polishing calenders on compact single-screw sheet lines within its cooling envelope.
The unit features an IP54-rated sealed electrical enclosure with Schneider/Chint thermal overloads, phase sequencers, and an illuminated digital PLC interface showing run hours and diagnostics.
We recommend maintaining at least 1.2 meters of clear clearance on the air-intake sides and at least 2.0 meters of open vertical clearance above the exhaust fans for unobstructed airflow dissipation.
A float-operated automatic water top-up valve connected to an external municipal or deionized water line maintains constant liquid head above the 1.5 kW pump suction inlet.
Yes, while standard models run on R410A or R407C, VihoX can configure the refrigeration circuit for low-GWP refrigerants upon customer specification.

Fifteen horsepower suits a mid-size line that also generates a substantial heat load, so a VihoX 100 ton cooling tower is the usual companion. Compressed air for the same cell comes from a 50HP PM VSD screw compressor, and the host machine is often a three-station thermoformer running several forming zones.
