ID, FD & PA fans
No-load start, fast current decay and variable-speed energy saving on draft fans.
Fluid couplings for power plants.
From coal handling to boiler auxiliaries, Fluidomat couplings start, protect and control the rotating equipment that keeps generation running — in more than 70 power plants across India and abroad.
Overview
Reliability where downtime isn’t an option.
A power station runs on a fleet of demanding drives — large fans, mills, crushers and pumps that start against high inertia and run for thousands of hours. Fluidomat couplings let motors start on no load, decay the starting-current kick in seconds and protect every drive from overload, while variable-speed scoop couplings turn fan and pump speed control into real energy savings.
Since 1971 our couplings have been proven across the sector — including a long association with NTPC, where custom-built HFD couplings solved persistent crusher-drive problems at Badarpur.
