INDUSTRY TRENDS TOWARD 2030
Plastic consumption in Vietnam is projected to reach 16.36 million tons by 2029, with a CAGR of 8.44%. At the same time, the government plans to end the production and import of single-use plastics after 2030, while promoting recycled and bio-based plastics. The industry is shifting toward a circular economy, prioritizing eco-friendly materials, multi-cycle packaging, and reusability.
Digital transformation is also accelerating. Plastic manufacturers must invest in new technologies, automation, and data connectivity to improve productivity and meet sustainable development standards. All these changes demand high-efficiency, energy-saving cooling systems that integrate seamlessly with digital management.

THE ROLE OF CHILLERS IN PLASTICS MANUFACTURING
Processes such as injection molding, extrusion, film blowing, and packaging require precise temperature control within ±0.5 °C. Without stable cooling, products can deform, develop uneven surfaces, or even require scrapping entire batches. Chillers act as the “heartbeat” of production, ensuring consistent quality and productivity. As output rises and product standards tighten, traditional on/off chillers reveal limitations: higher power consumption, larger temperature fluctuations, and weak integration with smart management systems.
WHY TRANSITION TO DC INVERTER CHILLER TECHNOLOGY
Energy savings and lower carbon emissions
DC Inverter compressors adjust speed to match real-time load, cutting electricity use by 20–35% compared to conventional on/off chillers. This significantly reduces operating costs and CO₂ emissions per ton of plastic, supporting certifications such as green building labels, ESG compliance, or ISO 14001—requirements increasingly demanded by FDI partners and export customers.
Flexible capacity
Cooling demand in plastics manufacturing fluctuates with product type, production shifts, and ambient conditions. DC Inverter chillers automatically adapt capacity, maintaining stable temperatures even when production loads change suddenly, thus minimizing defects.
Support for digital transformation
Modern DC Inverter chillers are equipped with Modbus/RS485 protocols for easy SCADA or IoT integration. Manufacturers can monitor remotely, record energy data, and receive early fault alerts—ideal for smart factory initiatives.
Consistent quality for high-performance plastics
Engineering plastics, medical-grade plastics, and high-performance packaging require exceptional temperature precision. The variable-speed compressor and sensitive sensors of a DC Inverter chiller keep water temperature steady, improving surface finish, reducing defects, and extending mold life.
LONG-TERM BENEFITS FOR VIETNAMESE PLASTICS ENTERPRISES
Investment in DC Inverter chiller technology offers rapid payback through energy savings and lower maintenance costs thanks to smooth operation and fewer start/stop cycles. High-efficiency cooling also strengthens export competitiveness, meeting strict environmental standards in Europe, the U.S., and Japan, while supporting Vietnam’s national goals for emission reduction and a circular economy.
