/ The Marley Difference /

You’ll enjoy single source responsibility and reliability because we design and manufacture virtually all major cooling tower components.

All Marley components are designed and selected to be part of an integrated system. For example, the spray pattern from nozzles and the pressure drop through drift eliminators both affect a fill’s heat transfer capacity. So, we include that impact in our thermal analysis.

Drift eliminators must be effective at the air velocities where fill is most efficient. So, we’ve carefully designed both components to work together efficiently.

Guaranteed Performance. Don’t rely on outside agencies with limited enforcement powers. We’ll stand by our responsibility for reliable thermal performance. We designed it. We rate it. We guarantee it!

Long Service Life. We’ve carefully chosen all the materials used in Class 160 towers for their corrosion resistance and suitability for cooling tower service. Pressure-treated lumber, heavy-galvanized steel, stainless steel, PVC and fiberglass keep your Class 160 tower working year after year.

Efficient Field Assembly. Precise factory fabrication assures that every component in your Class 160 tower will fit as designed. And SPX offers an unparalleled nationwide construction organization to build your tower quickly and economically.

Easy Maintenance Access. The Class 160’s crossflow design gives you quick, direct access to the open distribution basins, plenum and mechanical components for regular inspection and service.

How many other cooling tower companies can offer you this assurance? They may use Brand “A” nozzles with Brand “B” fill and Brand “C” drift eliminators. When they all come together, the whole may be less than the sum of the parts.

Our total system approach assures that all the parts work together to provide you the greatest total performance.

And because we design specifically for cooling towers, all our components will provide many years of service with minimal maintenance. From design through installation and on throughout your tower’s life, all of SPX will work for you.

Low Operating Costs. Marley high-efficiency fill and fans, gravity-flow water distribution, and efficient Geareducer® drive work together to offer maximum cooling with minimum power use.

Low Maintenance Costs. Induced-draft propeller fans on Marley rightangle Geareducer units; TEFC, 1.15 service factor motors; and heavy-duty mechanical equipment supports assure long service life with minimal maintenance.

All-Season Reliability. Class 160 towers perform as specified in the heat of summer. They respond well to energy management techniques in the spring and fall. They operate virtually ice-free in the dead of winter. And they offer simple maintenance all year long.

We guarantee it!

Single Source Parts Availability. SPX designs, manufactures, guarantees, and stocks all major components of the tower except motors and some fan sizes. In fact, we stock many of those parts, too. We’ll have the parts if you ever need them.
