The VihoX-30AC 30HP air-cooled industrial water chiller represents our flagship thermal control solution for large-scale packaging factories, plastic sheet extrusion plants, and centralized thermoforming departments. Delivering a massive 83.6 kW (71,896 kcal/h / 23.77 RT) of nominal refrigeration capacity powered by a 27.15 kW heavy-duty scroll compressor, it stabilizes process temperatures across multi-line operations. A 450-liter SUS304 stainless steel buffer tank maintains uninterrupted thermal consistency under severe production demands.
Built on an ultra-rigid steel channel base frame measuring 2500 × 1200 mm with an operating weight of 1,150 kg, the VihoX-30AC circulates 14.33 m³/h of chilled water across generous DN65 flanged connections via an integrated 2.2 kW centrifugal pump. Powerful multi-fan overhead assemblies discharge 30,000 m³/h of hot condenser air. Complete with shell-and-tube or high-efficiency coil evaporators and advanced digital PLC diagnostics, this centralized unit provides rock-solid reliability for non-stop industrial packaging manufacturing.
Every flagship VihoX 30HP centralized industrial chiller undergoes extensive heavy-load commissioning on our factory test stand. Technicians measure dual-circuit refrigerant balance, calibrate digital PLC temperature cutouts against calibrated RTD probes, and verify 14.33 m³/h water circulation across high-resistance cooling manifolds.

The VihoX-30AC is engineered for full plastic packaging plants running continuous sheet extrusion lines (calender rolls and haul-off cooling) combined with multiple high-speed cup forming or three-station container machines.
DN65 flanged connections allow the 30HP unit to serve as a central chiller header, feeding a distributed plant manifold with high volume (14.33 m³/h) at low pressure drops across long factory distribution runs.
Yes, while a SUS304 tank with immersed copper coil is standard, we offer cleanable heavy-duty shell-and-tube evaporators as an optional configuration for closed-loop pressurized factory circuits.
With nearly half a ton of chilled water in reserve, the system effortlessly absorbs massive thermal load spikes when an extrusion calender starts up or multiple thermoforming molds open simultaneously, preventing return-water temperature surges.
We customize the 32.33 kW total electrical load for standard 3Ph 380V/50Hz as well as 415V/50Hz, 440V/60Hz, or 480V/60Hz, incorporating heavy-duty Schneider contactors and soft-start options.
The system features dual independent refrigeration circuits, oil separators, suction line accumulators, high/low pressure relief valves, reverse phase protection, and multi-sensor PLC alarm interlocking.
With an equipment weight of approximately 1,150 kg, the VihoX-30AC incorporates integrated forklift pockets and top rigging lift lugs for safe crane placement on mezzanine decks or factory equipment pads.
Yes, our engineering team can provide recommended plant piping schematic layouts, header sizing advice, and valve selection guidance to optimize chilled water flow throughout your thermoforming workshop.
VihoX stands as your comprehensive manufacturing partner for industrial plastic packaging, supplying continuous extrusion lines, multi-station thermoformers, scrap granulators, and plant-wide centralized water chillers built for 24/7 reliability.

The largest frame in the range is normally installed with a VihoX 150 ton cooling tower handling bulk rejection. Air demand on a plant of this scale calls for a 100HP PM VSD screw compressor, and the cooling circuits usually serve sheet extrusion lines together with several forming machines.
