NUCLEAR POWER
A NUCLEAR FAMILY Leading brands of Altra Industrial Motion Corp. including Ameridrives, Bibby Turbofl ex, Formsprag Clutch, Nuttall Gear and Stromag are all suppliers of innovative power transmission solutions for the nuclear industry. Providing brakes, gearing, couplings, drives, power units and monitoring systems to new power stations, lifetime extension and decommissioning projects worldwide – these brands are experts in demanding nuclear applications. Altra products are utilised in reactor buildings, fuel storage and waste handling cranes, all types of pumps, cooling fans, generators and other rotating equipment. T ese brands are experienced in working closely with operators, contractors and OEMs to deliver specialised solutions. For example, Nuttall provides its speed increasers for Westinghouse pressurised water reactors, while Stromag installs EDF C3 approved crane braking systems for use in advanced pressurised water reactor buildings. Formsprag was instrumental in the development
of long-life anti-rotation devices (ARDs) for reactor coolant pumps in pressure water reactors, while Ameridrives and Bibby regularly provide high performance couplings for cranes, generator sets and boiler feed pumps used in nuclear facilities.
FAMILIAR WITH THE INDUSTRY As established power transmission OEMs, each brand has the production capacity and stock availability to meet the supply demands of large-scale projects. Furthermore, each brand has the custom engineering capability to deliver assemblies and components to the required quality and redundancy standard specifi ed by the diff erent nuclear sites the brands work with.. T is is evidenced by the familiarity of each brand with the requirements of the industry. Experience providing the correct quality documentation, traceability and product testing assures customers that power transmission equipment will perform as reliably in even the most demanding applications.
THE NUCLEAR OPTION T e global reach of Altra also ensures that brands off er localised support to nuclear facilities worldwide. T is includes new power stations in Europe, lifetime plant extensions in the USA and beyond. Altra’s single-supplier, localised approach helps to simplify procurement and expedite project schedules. Additionally, expert personnel are ready to respond to any on-site requirement. With Altra’s engineering capability,
industry experience and high service level throughout the product lifecycle, new power station, lifetime facility extension and decommissioning projects have comprehensive, turnkey power transmission support. T is helps to ensure reliability across all operations, improving return on investment (ROI) for these high value undertakings that represent the pinnacle of engineering.
