Turbine Maintenance

Turbine Maintenance shop and field work.

Prime Machine has been involved with Turbine Maintenance since our very beginning.  We have extensive knowledge of the Elliott YR series turbines and have reverse engineered almost every part in these turbines.   Over the years our experience grew and we have been involved with major Utility turbine overhauls.  Our work includes:

  • Main Turbine Valves rebuilds with HVOF tungsten carbide coatings
  • On site Low speed balance of rotors
  • Laser alignment and case inspections
  • Stud removal
  • Babbitt bearing rebuilds
  • Case machining
  • On-site machining line boring, flange facing, milling
  • Code welding of components.
