Kaplan turbines


In 1913, the company was the first to recognize the importance of Victor Kaplan’s invention and, in partnership with him, developmental tests were carried out in the Voith research laboratory. Since then, thousands of Kaplan turbines have left our workshops, among them the most powerful and largest in the world.

Our stepped program offers an economical solution for any requirement. Large custom-built Kaplan turbines for high output ranges are Voith’s speciality.

Characteristics:

Custom Kaplan turbines are used primarily for lower heads and larger flows. Voith Hydro also supplies cost-effective Kaplan units in standardized designs for smaller hydro power plants.
