Galvanised Steel Grain Silos

A bespoke cooling tower manufacturer designs each unit around the site, the duty and the environment, rather than supplying off-the-shelf equipment. That matters in industrial cooling because heat loads, footprints, water flow rates, noise restrictions, and access conditions vary widely between projects. The right tower for one site is the wrong tower for the next, and a manufacturer that can configure across the whole range gives you the best chance of a tower that performs and lasts.

Inside Franklin Hodge’s Cooling Tower Manufacturing 

Franklin Hodge designs and manufactures the Carter Environmental cooling tower range at our Birmingham facility. The brand has decades of engineering behind it, including Visco Cooling Towers which has been part of Franklin Hodge since 2003. Every tower is configured to the buyer’s duty before it leaves the factory, with options across draught type, fan configuration, materials, and circuit design. The whole range carries ISO 9001:2015 quality accreditation and BS/ISO 14001:2015 environmental accreditation. 

The Carter Environmental Industrial Cooling Tower Range 

The Carter Environmental range covers four product series, each suited to different duties. The BAL uses centrifugal fans in a forced-draught counterflow design. The BUC is induced-draught with axial fans. The SAN is forced-draught with axial fans. The ABC and WABC are closed-circuit dry air blast coolers, with the WABC offering an adiabatic mode for water-efficient operation. Open and closed-circuit variants handle water flow rates from 6 to 600 cubic metres per hour. See the full Carter cooling tower range for technical detail. 

How a Bespoke Cooling Tower Is Specified 

Specifying a bespoke cooling tower starts with the heat load and the process conditions, then the site constraints. We need to know the water flow rate, the inlet and outlet temperatures, the wet bulb temperature for the site, and any restriction on water use. After that, site access, footprint, headroom, noise limits, and corrosion exposure shape the configuration. We translate those inputs into the right draught type, fan, circuit, and materials from the Carter range. 

Bespoke Cooling Tower Options for Tough Sites 

Tough sites are where bespoke specification pays back hardest. Stainless steel construction protects the tower in corrosion-resistant applications across coastal, chemical, and high-humidity environments. Where noise matters, our cooling tower noise reduction packages cut breakout noise on the inlet, outlet, and casing. Site-assembled construction lets us install towers in basements, plant rooms, and roof spaces where crane access is restricted. Each option is configured into the tower before it leaves the factory. 

A UK Cooling Tower Manufacturer with Global Reach 

Franklin Hodge supplies cooling towers across the UK and internationally from our Birmingham manufacturing facility. Being a UK cooling tower manufacturer means design, engineering, manufacturing, and project support all sit in one place, which simplifies bespoke work. We also support every tower we build over its full life, with OEM cooling tower spare parts available for Carter equipment back to the 1980s, alongside servicing and refurbishment from the team that built the original asset.
