VietnamPLAS 2025, Ho Chi Minh City: booth B130
VietnamPLAS 2025 ran 17–20 September at the SECC in Ho Chi Minh City. Kerke shared booth B130 with GCMT, showing the KTE twin screw platform and two-stage lines to Vietnam's masterbatch, WPC and recycling processors.
Quick answer
Kerke exhibited at VietnamPLAS 2025, Vietnam's international plastics and rubber exhibition, from 17 to 20 September 2025 at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC), booth B130 — shared with our partner GCMT, whose local team handled the Vietnamese-language conversations.
What was on the stand
Three applications dominated at the stand:
- WPC and wood-plastic profiles. Vietnam is one of our largest WPC markets; moisture control and wood-fibre feeding drive the screw profile, and the two-stage layout keeps the melt low-shear at the die.
- Filler and colour masterbatch. High-loading concentrates for the growing local film and injection base, with wear packages sized for CaCO3-heavy recipes.
- Plastics recycling. PE/PP flake and film to pellet on two-stage KTE/SE lines — the segment growing fastest in Vietnamese project enquiries.
Why this market
Vietnam has become a second home market: filler masterbatch and WPC lines already run in the country in significant numbers, and the recycling build-out is accelerating as export markets tighten recycled-content rules. The processors we met are scaling fast and asking the right question — not "what does the machine cost" but "who fixes it when a liner wears out."
That is where the Kerke structure answers: screws, barrels and liners machined in our own Nanjing works, standard wear parts dispatching in 24–48 hours, and a 3–7 day material trial at the factory before a line is quoted. The trial — 25–50 kg, pellets, video, parameter sheet — is what a Vietnamese buyer actually takes home from a conversation like B130.
The questions we answered
| Question | Answer on the stand |
|---|---|
| WPC: how do you handle wet wood fibre? | Pre-drying plus a feeding and venting layout proven on running Vietnamese lines — set in the trial, not guessed. |
| Masterbatch at 80% filler without surging? | Feeder, screw profile and temperature profile are tuned on your material; the measured parameters go in the contract. |
| Recycling flake with moisture? | Two-stage KTE/SE with vacuum venting; IV and MFR retention measured in the trial run. |
| Local support in Vietnamese? | GCMT handles first-line contact locally; engineering answers come from Nanjing within one working day. |
Visit the works instead
Every machine Kerke sells is built and run in one place: screw elements, shafts and barrels are machined in our Nanjing works, gearboxes are assembled and run in for 24 hours, and every line is tested with material before it ships. If the show was busy, the better meeting is at the factory — send 25–50 kg of your material and we run it on a lab extruder in 3–7 days: pellets, running video, temperatures and output per hour.
