FIBREGLASS PRODUCTS

Cooling Towers. 

Cooling towers consist of various equally important parts and unfortunately these items are maintenance dependent.

 

Our fiberglass division specializes in the manufacturing, repair and maintenance of FRP fan blades, more commonly known as fiberglass blades / impellers or Fibre Reinforced Plastic blades to be more accurate. 

 

Fiberglass fan blades have been replacing its steel and aluminium counterparts for various reasons, but mostly because of the strength to weight to cost ratio. 

The light weight, more durable and less corrosive nature of a fiberglass cooling tower fan makes perfect sense and we can manufacture a New or replacement blade for your specific application ranging from 300mm to 9200mm. 

 

Unfortunately, fiberglass or FRP Cooling Tower blades are not indestructible and will also need maintenance or repairs to be done from time to time. 

 

Gear Protect can assist with the renewal, revival or repair of a damaged, deformed or delaminated blade. 

 

Maintenance of cooling tower blades not only optimizes performance, but saves money in eliminating downtime and unplanned shutdowns. 

 

Our fiberglass division can enhance performance of cooling tower fan blades through maintaining the aerodynamics of the blades and by balancing blades that have been in operation for some time, which is essential for longevity of the blades. 

 

Although fiberglass products are not supposed to retain water, we have found water retention in most of the fan blades that we have attended to. Water is mostly ingested through damage caused to the leading edge or tip of the blades.  Water retention is in our opinion the number one cause of delamination or failure of cooling tower blades. 

 

Please feel free to contact us for all your cooling tower needs. We can manufacture and supply cooling towers to your specific needs and can supply cooling tower spares e.g. fan blades, tower fills, baffles, resonators, coupling flanges, U-bolts, hub plates and more. 

 

Other fiberglass projects include manufacturing of high-quality tooling and moulds from engineers drawings with great precision. 

 

We can manufacture any GRP products e.g. air ducting, ventilation, camera domes, security huts, vendor kiosk, reusable buckets used in concrete slab pouring, actually anything and everything that you can think of with great perfection as per your exact specification.
