Turbines

The first Francis Turbine was made in ČKD Blansko 150 years ago. Under the supervision of Viktor Kaplan, ČKD Blansko was subsequently a component of the technical hydro-revolution. Perfect technical design is our main objective also at present and for this reason we can boast of more than 1,000 installations worldwide.

With an installed output of more than 21,000 MW, we rank among the largest world manufacturers of hydro power plants.

  • Kaplan Turbine

    Since 1904, almost 500 Kaplan turbines have been made in ČKD Blansko.

    We supply Kaplan turbines in horizontal or vertical design, spiral case or open-flume, bulb, pit, S-type with fixed or adjustable runner blades and guide vanes.

    Kaplan Turbine

  • Francis Turbine

    More than 250 Francis turbines have been manufactured since 1904.

    We make the Francis turbine in vertical and horizontal design.

    Francis Turbine
    • Basic characteristics
    • High resistance to cavitation and abrasion
    • Innovative runner blade design
    • Friendly to the environment and the ecosystem of the watercourses
    • Robust construction with long service life
    • Output: 200 kW – 350 MW

    • Runner diameter: 400 – 7,500 mm
  • Francis reversible turbine

    Francis reverse turbines with an installed output above 7,500 MW were supplied to our customers from the workshop of ČKD Blansko.

    We supply Francis reversible turbines in several operating designs – pump, turbine and compensation operating design.

    Francis reversible turbine
    • Basic characteristics
    • Friendly to the environment and the ecosystem of the watercourses
    • Robust construction with long service life
    • Output: 5,000 kW – 400 MW
    • Head: 40 – 550 m
    • Runner diameter: 1,000 – 7,500 mm
  • Pelton Turbine

    We can boast of more than 50 Pelton turbines in horizontal and vertical design.

    Pelton Turbine
    • Basic characteristics
    • Friendly to the environment and the ecosystem of the watercourses
    • Robust construction with long service life
    • Output: 300 kW – 350 MW
    • Head: 70 – 1,200 m
    • Runner diameter: 500 – 4,500 mm
  • Deriaz Turbine

    The first Diagonal Turbine was developed and manufactured in ČKD Blansko 50 years ago. Diagonal turbines are reverse machines, which operate in both turbine and pump mode. As compared with the Francis turbines, the Diagonal turbines have variable runner blades. Due to this, they provide a broader operating range.

    Deriaz Turbine
    • Basic characteristics
    • Friendly to the environment and the ecosystem of the watercourses
    • Robust construction with long service life
    • Output: 2,000 kW – 150 MW
    • Head: 20 – 65 m
