In 1936, Gottlieb Kochendörfer, one of the pioneers of hydroelectric power as we know it today, laid the foundations for the modern-day tradition-rich company in Georgenberg in the Upper Palinate administrative region of Bavaria, with which we still identify ourselves today.
Our family business now run by its third generation established itself to its fullest potential through innovation, quality and reliability. We regard the fact that we have been able to look after many of our clients through many decades, as an act of faith. Through consistent development and investments we will also offer our clients outstanding service and products in future.
Technical expertise, many years of experience, extensive processing options and highly qualified staff make it possible for all turbine types to be overhauled and reconditioned. Make use of the options we can offer you independently from the manufacturer.
Professional project planning using engineers guarantees our commitment to recognising and highlighting the potential for an effective performance and efficiency level increase, and evaluating this from an economic point of view.
We will show you how economic modernisation can result in acquired surpluses.
Our knowledge of the mechanical equipment and the mechanical processes used by your hydroelectric power plant enable us to develop comprehensive and safe automation concepts. Standardised equipment and industrially evaluated solutions offer you extensive disposability in the process.
Our criterion is protective installations, grating cleaning machines, air vanes, hydraulic and electrical drives for safe operation and the highest disposability. In the process we offer solutions for anything from small to very demanding applications.
Kochendörfer offers the entire spectrum of mechanical and electric equipment for the installation of a new turbine from planning to final assembly, or will carry out the replacement of an existing turbine. Our supply repertoire for this comprises all turbine designs such as Francis, Kaplan and Pelton.
Kochendörfer is supplying and assembling in its entirety, the mechanical equipment for the new Risi 3 turbine of the EW Näfel power generation plant in Switzerland.
With the decision to build a new production and manufacturing plant Kochendörfer is consistently heading towards better customer service.
After a two-year construction phase, Kochendörfer has put into operation for the city of Munich’s municipal works, the completely upgraded Isarkraftwerk 2 power plant with four vertical Kössler-Kaplan turbines.
