Geppert Hydropower products

Shut-off devices, through their emergency closure capability, contribute significantly to the proper operation of hydropower plants of every type and size.

In 2018, Geppert set a visionary, ecological milestone in the field of small-scale hydropower: the introduction of a container power plant as a power plant solution. Simple, stand-alone and cost-effective, the Hydropower Cube can supply up to 1 megawatt of green energy.

In the course of refurbishment measures and partial renewals of existing power plants, Geppert brings your equipment up to the state of the art in order to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the power plant.

The Pelton turbine is also known as an impulse turbine. Due to its method of operation, this water turbine is ideally suited for hydropower plants with very high heads (over 30 and up to 1,500 m) and comparatively low water volumes. The turbines are manufactured at the Geppert plant in Hall in Tyrol, using world-leading engineering skills.

The versatile Francis turbine is a medium-pressure turbine. Due to its method of operation, this water turbine is ideally suited for power plants with a low to medium head (5-300 m) and corresponding flow rates.

With pride in their domestic turbine construction know-how that enjoys global demand, the fourth generation of the Geppert family is continuing the company’s rich tradition of developing forward-looking energy solutions. First and foremost, the innovative diagonal turbine – also known as the Dériaz turbine. Its extremely high efficiency over a wide range of applications is unique.

Named after the world-famous Austrian inventor Victor Kaplan, this is a low-pressure turbine offering extremely high efficiency. Due to its method of operation, this water turbine is ideally suited for power plants with large quantities of water.
