What we can do to a turbocharger
Complete overhauls under one roof — and, when the rotor cannot leave the vessel or the plant, the workshop travels instead. Cleaning, NDT inspection, machining, welding, balancing and testing, with a documented report at every step.
Multiple disciplines, one standard
The same operations, to the same acceptance criteria, at any station in the network.
Rotor balancing
Dynamic balancing of rotors from 100 g to 2.000 kg, at any station in the network. The balancing machines are calibrated and certified annually by their manufacturer, to ISO standards.
Ultrasonic cleaning
Tanks of 4.500 and 5.000 L, plus ultrasonic wall-thickness checks on casings.
Shaft repair
Grinding and recovery of turbine shafts and blades, by metal spraying or laser cladding.
Hardness testing and NDT
Hardness verification and non-destructive testing with dye penetrant and UV light for crack detection.
Welding and laser cladding
MIG/TIG, conventional welding, metal-spraying projection welding and laser cladding to rebuild geometry with minimal heat input.
Final inspection and report
Assembly, measurement and verification before dispatch, with a documented report of every step.
The rest of the operations
- Machining of casings, housings and replacement parts
- Ultrasonic wall-thickness checks on casings
- Micro-blasting, blasting and high-pressure washing
- Pressure testing and hydraulic testing
- Reconditioning of plain and anti-friction bearings
- Nozzle-ring and diffuser repair
- Heat exchanger and charge air cooler overhauls
- Handling with a 6,3 t overhead crane
Every intervention leaves with its workshop report: measurements, clearances, photographs and the acceptance criteria applied.
Which rotor fits at which station
If your rotor is beyond the capacity of the nearest station, we move it within the network rather than turn the job away.

Three portable balancing machines travel to the vessel, the port or the plant and balance rotors from 1 to 750 kg where they are, with vibration measured before and after and a documented report.

When does a rotor need rebalancing?
After any blade replacement or repair, whenever there are signs of rubbing or vibration, and as periodic practice — the usual recommendation is around 20.000 to 24.000 running hours. Unbalance is an asymmetric mass distribution about the axis of rotation, so it is corrected on a balancing machine, removing material at the defined correction planes.
Why is the rotor balanced on a machine and not adjusted by feel?
Because a turbocharger rotor is a rigid rotor turning at very high speed, and what has to be measured is the amount and the angle of the unbalance in two planes — something no amount of experience can judge by hand. The machine gives both figures; the correction is then made within the limits defined for each model.
