Cooling towers for UK cheese maker
25 Feb 2011
Hatherton, UK – Cheshire-based cheesemaker Joseph Heler Cheese has installed two new custom-designed cooling towers, made by Carter Environmental Engineers of Birmingham, UK.
The units replaced two problematic old cooling towers at the Joseph Heler creamery in Hatherton near Nantwich, and prompted the need for a far more efficient and hygienic system at the plant.
The installation included adapting Carter’s Sandringham B Cooling Towers to utilise Joseph Heler’s preference for stainless steel dairy pipe fittings and stainless steel air-actuated float valves – instead of standard screwed fittings and copper ball floats. This was combined with ABB electronic controls.
Carter’s custom-built Sandringham cooling tower is a forced-draught counter-flow design covering water flow rates from 6m3/hr to 600m3/hr.
Incorporating a direct drive axial fan-set located on the side of the tower at low level, the Sandringham benefits from ultra-high efficiency, interlocking drift eliminators and a multi-sloping ’ERS’ base tank with bottom located drain.
The design also features a removable pack access door and a non-aerosol forming, self draining trough and weir water distribution system.
