Hacker designs, develops, and manufactures high-performance Francis, Pelton, Kaplan, Bulb, and REVO turbines for Small Hydro Plants (SHPs) and large hydro projects up to 30 MW per unit.
With custom hydraulic blade profiles designed via advanced CFD simulations, each machine delivers optimal energy yield across seasonal flow variations.
Francis Hacker turbines are suitable for projects with medium to high hydraulic heads and medium water flow rates. Built with heavy steel spiral cases and precision-machined stainless runners for up to 94% peak efficiency.
Designed for high-altitude mountain potentials with low flow rates and heads ranging from 328 to 3,937 ft (100 to 1,200 m). Equipped with 1 to 6 precision needle injectors for flat efficiency across extreme partial loads.
National pioneer in Brazil. Suitable for low heads and large flows. Double regulation of runner blades and wicket gates ensures outstanding adaptability and sustained efficiency across changing river seasons.
A linear axial derivative of Kaplan technology, housing the generator inside an aerodynamic waterproof bulb. Minimizes civil works and excavation costs while maximizing discharge capacity in flat river basins.
The revolutionary modular turbine developed by Hacker to unlock low-viability sites. Offers standardized plug-and-play assembly, ultra-low civil costs, minimal environmental footprint, and fast commissioning.
