HYDRAULIC MACHINES DIVISION

In the design of hydraulic machinery, ANDRITZ AG has done true pioneering work. The first water turbines were planned, designed and manufactured here more than 120 years ago!
Hydraulic machines supplied by ANDRITZ have since then helped to ensure electric current supply in many countries across the globe.

Extensive research and development in the laboratories and test stands of ASTRÖ Institute of hydraulic research, a Graz-based affiliate of ANDRITZ-AG, form the foundation stone for this.

ANDRITZ - Hydraulic Machines Division provides design, manufacture, installation, start-up and servicing of all components for Hydro Power Plants:

• WATER TURBINES:
  • Kaplan turbines
  • Kaplan - Bulb turbines
  • Francis turbines
  • Pelton turbines
  • Mini-turbine compact plants

   

• CONTROL SYSTEMS:
  • Butterfly valves

   

• SHUT-OFF DEVICES:
  • Butterfly valves
  • Spherical valves
