Restoration of a Turbo Food Pump

Restoration of a Turbo Food Pump

🔧 Emergency Response at TACQUET INDUSTRIES ⚙️

At the beginning of 2024, in the middle of the winter season, TACQUET INDUSTRIES responds to an urgent call for the restoration of a Turbo Food Pump. This critical situation impacts the operator’s electricity production, which is only stabilized at 47% of capacity.
📉 The strategic and financial stakes are high!

🚀 An expert team is immediately deployed to the site. What’s their mission? Assess the means needed to restore this vital equipment. In no time, a thorough study confirms the procedure and establishes a provisional schedule.

OBJECTIVES
– Dimensional and geometric controls of the upper and lower body combining sophisticated metrology «SCAN 3D & TRACKER LASER» as well as conventional
– Destruction of damaged rushes
– Mechanical crimping of new reeds
– Recovery of the pitting and sealing ranges of these reeds
– Dimensional and geometric checks for acceptance

Days later, our teams start construction 👷
Two machines and a staff of ten technicians are deployed to optimize response time. The checks and analyses are carried out before the first machining operations begin.

💪 The flexibility of our design office, workshop and stakeholders has made it possible to achieve this mission successfully, while respecting our client’s tight schedule.

TACQUET INDUSTRIES, always at your service, even in the most critical moments ! 🚀🔧

Machining 2 flanges in planing

Machining 2 flanges in planing

– The first operation consisted of surfacing the flange, from diameter 2570mm to diameter 2710mm, in order to eliminate any surface defect with a roughness of Ra1.6/3.2.

– Then, a second flange was worked, with a surface needed to pass the diameter 3000mm, eliminating any defect to obtain a roughness of Ra1.6/3.2.

Wheel coat machining (Kaplan type) 𝘍𝘌𝘚𝘚𝘌𝘕𝘏𝘌𝘐𝘔

Fessenheim Hydroelectric Power Plant, France

Wheel coat machining (KAPLAN types)

In January 2022, we worked on the G4 Group (Kaplan type) of the Fessenheim Hydroelectric Power Plant, in France, for our client EDF. At the beginning of January 2024, our teams carried out an identical operation on Groupe G3 de la Centrale.

Videos

Enlarge the cylindrical and spherical part of the existing wheel mantle by 3 mm radius, while copying the shape already present. The machining had to be done on a height of 1700mm.

  • Final side of cylinder and sphere: Ø6686mm 0.1 mm radius
  • Surface Condition: Ra 3.2

Our intervention took place in several stages:

  • Step 1: Analysis of the subject in our Design Office (feasibility, 3D modeling of the turbine, study and calculations to determine the profile of our shape copying element, implementation of our machine in the 3D work environment).
  • Step 2: Carrying out pre-work checks (Laser Tracker) by an external company.
  • Step 3: Installation of our machine on site and machining.
  • Step 4: Realization of after-work checks (Laser Tracker) by an external company.

3D MODELLING

Calculations were used to study and verify the shape of the copying surface for machining.

PRE-WORK & MACHINE SETUP

Our machine was installed in the turbine and adjusted with the help of the Laser Tracker

Wheel coat Ø3400

Take a wheel coat Ø3400 of a Kaplan turbine by machining and all that on site?! The TACQUET INDUSTRIES teams also know how to do it!
If you want to know more, it’s here 👇

During the month of July, our teams had the privilege of working on the renovation of another hydroelectric power plant group. ♻️💧

THE MISSION: 🔍
– Resumption of the cylindrical and spherical part Ø3400 of the wheel mantle on a height of 1m.

Tolerances requested: 🔑
– Final coast of cylinder diameter and sphere Ø3400
– Surface condition: Ra 3.2 max

Machine used: Boring-Surfacer TI6500 🎯

The subtlety on this site lies in the development of a completely mechanical copier to follow and recreate the original shape of the coat. No CNC was used for this operation. 👌

Intervening on this type of site allows us to improve our techniques in order to deliver an optimal quality of service and services for our customers!

VERDICT: 🏆Successful mission🏆

This new success was achieved thanks to rigorous preparation upstream by our Design Office and the professionalism of our technicians on site. 💯

We thank Automated Precision Europe GmbH for their support on this project.
