Cooling Towers for Mining

Cooling Towers: Built for the Toughest Mining Environments

Mining is one of the harshest industries on earth. From crushing and grinding to ore processing and onsite power generation, equipment runs under constant stress. With that stress comes heat, and managing heat loads is critical to keeping production safe, efficient, and continuous.

That’s where Tower Thermal Cooling Towers step in. They are Australian engineered, manufactured, and designed to deliver reliable cooling in the world’s most demanding mining environments.

Why Cooling Towers Matter in Mining

Cooling towers are the backbone of heat rejection across the mining sector, supporting a wide range of
operations such as:

• Ore processing: stabilising temperatures during flotation, leaching, and refining.
• Onsite power: cooling diesel and gas generators that keep remote mines operating.
• Ventilation and HVAC: maintaining safe conditions in underground and processing plants.
• Industrial equipment: rejecting heat from mills, crushers, and compressors.

When cooling is unreliable, productivity drops, energy consumption increases, and unplanned shutdowns
can halt production entirely.

The Harsh Reality of Mining Sites

Mining environments create challenges far beyond standard industrial applications:

• Dust and debris can clog fill media and air paths.
• Variable water quality often contains minerals that accelerate scaling and fouling.
• Extreme climates range from scorching deserts to freezing high-altitude regions.
• Remote locations demand equipment that is reliable and simple to maintain.

For these reasons, cooling towers in mining must be stronger, more efficient, and easier to service
than typical commercial-grade units.

At Tower Thermal, we manufacture cooling towers specifically designed for mining. Our TXQ Quietflow® and TXF ranges are built to withstand harsh environments while delivering durability, efficiency, and long service life.

FRP Strength and Durability

Instead of relying on steel that corrodes, we use Fibreglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP). This material resists corrosion, UV damage, and weathering, giving mines longer tower life with reduced maintenance.

Modular and Scalable Design

Our cooling towers are Australian engineered with modular construction, making transport and assembly simpler in remote locations. Systems can be expanded as cooling demand grows.

Easy to Service

Every hour of downtime is costly. That is why Tower Thermal designs include removable hot water basin covers, accessible fan systems, and quick-clean drift eliminators. These features allow faster maintenance and keep operations online.

Efficiency That Saves

Each tower is engineered for low fan and pump energy input, optimised heat rejection, and reduced drift loss. The result is lower operational costs and improved sustainability outcomes.

Safety and Reliability

Heavy-duty internal framing, enclosed belt guards, and safe access walkways ensure structural strength and operator safety throughout the life of the tower.

Supporting Mining Sustainability

Mining companies face increasing pressure to improve water and energy efficiency. Tower Thermal cooling towers help achieve these goals by:

• Reducing water loss with high-performance drift eliminators.
• Lowering energy use through efficient fans and drives.
• Extending tower life to reduce waste and replacement requirements.
