Advantages for the customer
The removal and installation of turbine gearboxes is often very complex, as work is carried out in very confined spaces and access is difficult, especially in historic mills or barrages. This is why we at KACHELMANN ensure that our turbine gearboxes are extremely easy to install right from the design stage.
- All individual part drawings and assembly drawings are archived at KACHELMANN and thus ensure the supply of spare parts for the gearbox over the entire product life cycle
- Optimisation of the gearing ensures low-noise operation
- Experience and improvements from many successful turbine gearbox solutions are incorporated into every repair.
- We use the latest methods - always with the application in mind
- Optimised adaptation to changes in the respective hydropower plants (change in process control, structural conditions)
- Documentation of the gearbox inspection and gearbox repair,
- 24-hour service hotline
