ANDRITZ Atro Archimedean Screw

Archimedes invented the screw
pump 2300 years ago
ANDRITZ Atro designs and builds
screw pumps for decades

ANDRITZ Atro hydropower screw as a turbine

ANDRITZ Atro invented the
hydropower screw 15 years ago
The genius principle is turned
around
The hydrodynamic screw is
placed inclined in flood direction
in the river
The water flow makes the screw
rotating.
The energy is given to
a generator via a gearbox

Do you want to invest into
renewable energy?
Do you have problems with the
interconnected grid,
because there is none?
because the power lines are to
weak?

Do you have nearby

a natural river flow

with currents?

an owerflow over an existing dam?

an irrigation channel?
old unused hydropower site?
a clean water outlet of sewage
treatment plants?
