LITOSTROJ ENGINEERING (Czechia)
Rooted in a Moravian machine-building tradition dating back to 1698, the Blansko facility serves as the strategic engineering brain of the Litostroj. This is where theoretical physics meets physical validation. Our Czech headquarters specializes in the complex custom engineering of every turbine profile we produce.
Utilizing advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Finite Element Method (FEM) optimization, and physical model testing, the Brno team ensures the maximum efficiency for your powerhouse before any steel is cut.
About
THE BIRTHPLACE OF MODERN HYDRO INNOVATION
We do not rely on theoretical catalog curves. Our engineering is physically validated in the heart of Europe.
The "spirit of Kaplan":
The Blansko valley is intimately tied to the earliest days of hydro engineering. At the beginning of the 20th century, Prof. Viktor Kaplan—the inventor of the Kaplan turbine—collaborated directly with the predecessors of our current Brno and Blansko design team to bring his revolutionary machine to life. Today, that exact heritage drives our modern R&D.
The hydraulic research laboratory
Blansko is home to Litostroj's independent, state-of-the-art testing laboratory. Depending on project requirements, new hydraulic profiles are validated through advanced CFD numerical analysis and, where appropriate, physical model testing. This combination of digital simulation and experimental verification enables us to accurately assess hydraulic performance, energy characteristics, and dynamic behavior.
IEC 60193 compliance
Our laboratory operates in strict accordance with the international standard IEC 60193. We routinely invite clients and third-party inspectors to our Czech facility to witness the physical proof of their guaranteed turbine efficiencies prior to final manufacturing.
