For facility managers and contractors in regions like Dubai, Vietnam, and Korea, importing Cooling tower fill from China is the most cost-effective strategy. However, the volume of the product can lead to high shipping costs. Here is how we help you optimize logistics and installation.
1. Shipping: Glued Blocks vs. Loose Sheets
The biggest cost in importing fill is "shipping air."
Option A: Pre-Glued Blocks. We assemble the PVC cooling tower fill in our factory. This is convenient but takes up massive space in a container.
Option B: Site Assembly (Recommended). We ship Counterflow Film Fill or Crossflow Film Fill sheets nested together. This increases the container capacity by 300** to 400**. We provide the specialized solvent glue and detailed video instructions for your local team to assemble the blocks on-site.
2. Installation: Crossflow vs. Counterflow Differences
Installation methods vary by tower type:
- Counterflow Towers: Requires cutting blocks to fit circular or irregular tower shapes. Our blocks are easily cut with standard tools. Ensure the blocks are packed tightly to prevent air bypass.
- Crossflow Towers: Typically use hanging sheets. When installing Crossflow Film Fill, it is critical to ensure the integral louvers and drift eliminators are oriented correctly to prevent water splash-out.
3. Quality Check Upon Arrival
When your shipment arrives, check the sheet thickness. High-quality export fill should be rigid. Our sheets are formed from premium PVC, ensuring they don't crack during the rough handling of international transport and installation.
