Our Product and Solution Portfolio

Pelton Turbine

Pelton turbines are designed for sites where water head is high and flow is low. Water jets strike the buckets attached to the runner, converting kinetic energy into rotational energy. These turbines are extremely efficient at high heads and are widely used in mountainous regions.

Key Features:

Operation efficiently between 50 to 1000m head
Suitable for small to large power stations
Maintenance friendly design
Wider Operating Range
Long Operational life

Francis Turbine

Francis turbines are the most widely used hydro turbines in the world. They are versatile and can operate efficiently under a wide range of heads and flows.

Water enters the turbine radially and exits axially, spinning the runner to generate power.

Key Features:

Operates efficiently between 15 to 300m head
Vertical or horizontal design
Spiral casing (Medium heads) or open flume (Low heads)
Compact design
Reversible Pump Turbines

Kaplan Turbine

Kaplan turbines are turbines with adjustable blades, making them ideal for sites with low water head and large flow volumes, such as river or canal based installations.

The ability to adjust the blade angle allows them to maintain efficiency across variable flow conditions.

key Features:

Best suited for heads between 1 to 40m
Adjustable runner blades for optimal performance
High Efficiency at variable flow conditions
Ideal for low- heads run-of-river projects
