A hydropower generation device that can generate electricity with low head and small flow, primarily installed for agricultural water use, but also applicable for sewage and industrial wastewater.
The "Power Archimedes" is a device that utilizes the height difference between the upstream and downstream of a water channel to generate electricity by turning a water wheel with the gravity of the water, using a synchronous generator for power generation. The amount of electricity generated is determined by the flow rate and the drop in height of the water, and it converts this potential energy of water into mechanical and electrical energy with high efficiency. It is suitable for installation in areas with low height differences and small flow rates. 【Features】 ○ The power generation device can be installed directly in the water channel. ○ High power generation efficiency at low height differences and small flow rates. ○ Simple structure (can be manufactured in developing countries). ○ Water drop device at the water wheel entrance (maintainable). ○ Low cost of the device. ○ Easy installation of the device. ○ Easy maintenance. ○ Currently targets power generation outputs of 100 kW or less.

basic information
【Lineup】 ○ Low Drop Type → Designed for drop heights of 3.5m or less → There is a type with a low height of 65cm → Used in sewage systems, agricultural water, factory drainage, etc., and currently has the highest delivery volume ○ High Drop Type → Designed for drop heights of 5m or more → Used in sediment control dams, small rivers, factory drainage, etc. → Each water wheel is equipped with a suction pipe (draft) that can respond to changes in water level below the water wheel ○ Type Suspended from Water Supply → When creating a water supply to install a power generation device, it can be suspended directly in the water supply drop channel to reduce costs → Agricultural water often has intake gates upstream, so it is applied when there is no significant flooding → Equipped with a water drop device to allow for checks on the water wheel without stopping the water supply For more details, please download the catalog or contact us.

Company information
In recent years, our country's economy has undergone significant changes due to the Lehman Shock and the Great East Japan Earthquake. Additionally, the manufacturing industry is experiencing an acceleration of overseas relocation due to the hollowing out of domestic industries, and there seems to be a lingering sense that recovery across various sectors is still progressing slowly. It is essential for small and medium-sized enterprises to cultivate vibrant agility and creativity, and to engage in passionate management that allows them to become a steadfast presence rooted in their communities. It is not only important to pursue new products and business developments, but we are also in an era where the development of new products, new technologies, and new services is necessary. Hokuriku Seiki will continue to challenge itself in manufacturing, further addressing quality, cost, and delivery times. Furthermore, we have been conducting research and development in the small hydropower generation business for the past ten years, and we will continue to advance this development to ensure safe energy supply and to bring joy to everyone.
