Cooling Tower Gearbox Maintenance You Can Trust

Industrial in size and performance, Flender cooling tower gearboxes feature a unique design that’s engineered to handle extreme hot and cold temperatures quickly and almost simultaneously. They are often an important part of an operation’s total thermodynamic circle and must be maintained to Flender’s exacting standards with the right cooling tower gearbox parts; otherwise, the cooling tower fan can fail. At Geartec, we understand the unique mechanics of these industrial gearboxes and have the experience to service, repair, and rebuild the gears and drives on all Flender cooling tower gearboxes, even if your cooling tower features a custom-designed unit.

What Factors Can Lead to Cooling Tower Gearbox Failure?

When downtime is simply not acceptable, turn to Geartec for your Flender cooling tower repair needs. We offer decades of experience working on Flender equipment, and we’ve seen most of the major factors that can lead to gearbox equipment failure. Our knowledge helps us troubleshoot solutions quickly and helps you fix minor problems before they can hinder your entire operation:

• High operating temperatures. Flender cooling towers are engineered to handle high operating temperatures, but this exposure can eventually lead to worn parts.
• High humidity conditions. From ice to high-heat steam, gearboxes must be able to withstand water in all its forms and at its most extreme.
• Wearing of gears. Over time, gears can experience wear due to many issues, including vibration. Let us help you inspect and repair gears before they need to be rebuilt.
• Lack of maintenance. Because of the extreme conditions cooling tower gearboxes undergo, they must be cleaned and checked on a regular basis. If not, simple fixes can lead to larger repairs or necessary rebuilds.
• Improper lubrication. We can not only fix issues caused by a lack of lubrication, but we can also help your maintenance team understand how to properly lubricate gears for better performance.
• Environmental factors. Exposure to dust or other particulates can slowly wear down gears or drives. Proper maintenance can help offset this wear, but sometimes it can be unavoidable, especially if your facility experiences any type of extreme environmental event, including flooding, prolonged power loss, or other concern.

Our Cooling Tower Capabilities

At Geartec, we understand the need for cooling towers to keep temperature and humidity conditions under control. Gearboxes are paired with cooling tower motors to reduce fan speed and allow for a smaller, more cost-effective motor. Gearboxes in cooling towers act as a torque multiplier to take some stress off the motor.Because of large cooling tower applications, it’s imperative that maintenance and service issues are addressed regularly. Our team can help with routine inspection and gearbox repair. Cooling tower gear drives- Cooling towers require a functioning gearbox to reduce motor speed for an operation free of excessive sound and vibration. Premature gearbox failure can drastically impact your plant. Geartec has the expertise to replace any broken gear elements or completely rebuild your unit. Inspection and Maintenance- Being proactive and having your gearbox inspected and maintained regularly can significantly extend service life. Cooling tower gearboxes take on large loads at high-capacity production plants, so cooling tower service should not be overlooked.
