STAINLESS STEEL RUNNER

Runner is the heart of hydropower plant, We supply CFD and FEA optimized stainless steel runner that milled out of a forged stainless steel monoblock.

Thanks to our experience and lean model of production we have reached excellent levels of accuracy: the great majority of runners we balance do not require any additional material removal, thus saving precious lead time and guaranteeing top-notch wheel quality, as well as a longer expected lifetime.
