The blading design provides for high efficiency

over the whole operation range, giving the
customer highly flexible plant operation.

The single body turbine has a symmetrical casing

with horizontal joint flange, which allows short
start-up times and rapid load changes.
The design of all supports for labyrinths and
blade carriers ensures flexibility for the whole
turbine.

Internal valve arrangements, controlling the

steam flow to the back end of the turbine, are
used to maintain constant process steam
extraction pressures over a wide flow range.
The rotor of the SST-400 range is made of solid
forging and is fitted with resonance-resistant
