Why Cooling Tower Spares Can’t Be an Afterthought
Downtime Costs More Than Spare Parts
Imagine a large plant in Mpumalanga that loses a fan motor in peak summer. Within hours, process temperatures start climbing, equipment alarms trip, and output slows. The cost of lost production dwarfs the price of that spare motor. Having quick access to the right cooling tower spares isn’t just about convenience — it’s a safeguard against massive operational losses.
Preventative Maintenance Extends Lifespan
Cooling towers are exposed to harsh African climates: heat, dust, humidity, and often poor-quality water. Without proper cooling tower preventative maintenance, components degrade quickly. Spares like nozzles, fills, and gearboxes need replacing before they fail outright. This isn’t overspending — it’s investing in long-term reliability.
Common Cooling Tower Spares Every Facility Needs
Cooling Tower Fill
Fill is the heart of efficient heat transfer. If it’s clogged with scale or broken, your tower loses performance fast. LCTS carries high-quality cooling tower fill designed for industrial demands. Read more about our cooling tower spares here.
Drift Eliminators
Drift eliminators reduce water loss and prevent chemical carryover. Damaged eliminators lead to unnecessary water wastage and environmental compliance issues.
Gearboxes and Motors
Motors seize. Gearboxes wear. When they fail, the tower grinds to a halt. Keeping spares on hand avoids last-minute panic buying at inflated costs.
Fans and Blades
Balanced, efficient fans are vital. Corroded or damaged blades increase vibration, risk structural failure, and hammer your energy bill.
Nozzles
Small but essential. Blocked nozzles cause uneven water distribution, creating hot spots and reducing cooling capacity.
Partnering With a Trusted Cooling Tower Spares Supplier
Not all suppliers are equal. Some just drop off parts, but at LCTS, we combine cooling tower spares, repairs, and preventative maintenance under one roof. Our technicians understand what each component does and how it impacts your system’s overall efficiency.
We don’t just sell spares — we install them, inspect surrounding systems, and make sure you’re not facing another breakdown next week.

Local Expertise Across Sub-Saharan Africa
Industrial Cooling Towers in Harsh Conditions
From Johannesburg to Richards Bay, and from mining operations in Rustenburg to manufacturing hubs in Durban — right through to plants across Sub-Saharan Africa — conditions vary. Hard water scaling, high dust, and corrosive coastal air are just a few of the challenges. Having local knowledge of how towers behave in these environments is crucial. LCTS has serviced clients across the country and built up decades of experience. Read more about our industrial cooling towers.
GRP Cooling Towers
For many facilities, GRP cooling towers are the workhorse. Lightweight yet strong, they still require the right spares and proper maintenance. If you’re running a GRP system, we’ve got the right fill, fans, and nozzles to keep it efficient. Check our GRP cooling tower expertise.
Beyond Spares: Repairs, Refurbishment, and New Towers
Cooling Tower Repairs
When damage goes beyond a quick part replacement, our repair crews step in. We’ve rebuilt towers damaged by fire, storms, and even years of neglected maintenance.
Refurbishment Projects
Sometimes the best option isn’t buying a brand-new tower but extending the life of the one you have. With the right parts and skilled workmanship, an old tower can perform almost like new. See our cooling tower refurbishment services.
Field-Erected Cooling Towers
Some plants run massive field-erected units. These demand a specialist touch. Our team has tackled large-scale installations and can source the parts needed for these giants. Learn about our field-erected cooling tower expertise.
New Cooling Towers
If your tower has reached the end of its life, we also design and install new cooling towers built to spec. View our new cooling tower options.
