Prima Power in the Energy sector

Find out what we do in the energy sector.

Analysts predict that electricity demand will grow significantly through direct electrification and the uptake of green hydrogen. In this context, renewables will rapidly increase to half of electricity generation by 2035. Yet fossil fuels will continue to play a major role in the energy market until 2050, driven by growth in areas such as chemicals and aviation. (Source: McKinsey, Global Energy Perspective 2021)​

We understand the main challenge this sector has to face is the qualification of the processes. Machines used for drilling, cutting and welding applications must be particularly precise, stable, and reliable to maintain the certified parameters to ensure quality work while also avoiding waste and costly rework.

And we also know that you need intensive supplier support, which must be provided by consultants who know your case well and have highly specialized technical know-how.

Process control is the driving force when manufacturing components for the energy industry.

Documentation supplied with the machine must be clear, accurate, and exhaustive. Training must be highly customized so that your company can make the most of individual systems.​

Knowing these dynamics in depth means that Prima Power machines are widely used in the aerospace industry in different applications, mainly for drilling cooling holes on hot turbine engine parts (both for aerospace and energy production) and for the manufacture of complex parts that require cutting and welding processes.

Solutions

Find your ideal solution

Learn how our systems work and how our offerings set us apart from other manufacturers. ​

Our Laserdyne systems, as well as Laser Next product family, guarantee accuracy and repeatability. These can be equipped with one or more numerically controlled rotary tables to machine cylindrical parts for the turbine, even during loading/unloading phases in masked time.

Our systems can measure/find parts using integrated sensors (optical and/or capacitive). This increases the accuracy of the system without the need for expensive equipment. It also allows you to compensate for any errors in the shape of the component.

Our unique process control solution on laser drilling systems, known as FlowComp™, enables airflow requirements on parts to be met while complying with the tightest tolerances. The FlowComp™ performs automatic compensation and adjusts the size of the drilled holes using measurements from a specific airflow test bench integrated with the machine. The numerical control and CL50K laser, both developed and manufactured at Prima Industrie, just like the machine, manage the correction without operator intervention.

Our experts are highly specialised in this area: they provide added value and help you maximise profit.

Our qualified services complement our advanced technology and are the key to improved productivity and higher profit.

All our systems are designed and developed based on the “Green Means concept”, which means they are productive and eco-sustainable at the same time.
