Hydro Turbine Refurbishment involves complete inspection, repair, restoration, and performance improvement of hydro turbine components to extend turbine life and improve efficiency.
At Flow Max Hydro Turbine Services, we provide complete refurbishment solutions for Pelton, Francis, and Kaplan turbines & other Hydro Turbine components like Nozzle Tip, Nozzle body/Deflector, Seat ring, Guide vanes/Wicket gates, Head cover, Bottom cover etc using precision engineering, welding, machining, grinding, post weld heat treatment, surface polishing, NDT, Static Balancing & HVOF Coating techniques.
Our refurbishment services help hydro power plants reduce downtime, improve efficiency, and extend the operational life of turbine components.
🔧 What It Includes
1. Inspection & Condition Assessment
We perform detailed inspection of turbine components to identify wear, cracks, erosion, cavitation damage, and performance issues. Our engineers prepare a condition assessment report and refurbishment plan.
2. Dismantling Turbine Components
Complete dismantling of turbine parts including runner, shaft, guide vanes, bearings, and covers using proper engineering procedures and safety standards.
3. Repair (Welding, Machining, Coating)
Damaged components are repaired using:
- Precision welding
- Machining
- Grinding & polishing
- HVOF / protective coating
- Static/Dynamic balancing
4. Replacement of Worn Parts
Replacement or manufacturing of worn or damaged parts such as:
- Runner
- Blades
- Shaft
- Guide vanes
- Nozzle components
- Seat rings
5. Reassembly & Testing
After repair and replacement, turbine components are reassembled, aligned, and tested to ensure proper performance, vibration control, and efficiency improvement.
