Our Sectors
At Allander Aerotech we specialise in Aerospace and Power Generation.
Aero Engines
With many years of collective Aero Engine experience we are comfortable taking on all aspects of Engine Design.
From rotatives to static parts, concept design or detail design, engine design, Instrumentation packages or rig, we have the experience to deliver.
Aero Engines
Our multi-disciplined team diversity allows us to work on and support all aspects of the design including, thermal analysis, MI analysis, rotor-dynamics, Secondary Air Systems and project management.
Contact us to discuss your requirements.
Industrial Gas Turbines
With many years of Industrial Gas Turbine experience behind us, we pride ourselves in being able to comfortably take on all aspects of design of this type of power unit.
Our most recent undertaking included two major work packages involving the Intermediate Casing Assembly and the LP Turbine Assembly & Outlet Casing and all associated systems and services.
Contact us to discuss your requirements.
Industrial Gas Turbines
In this intensely competitive industry, our collective objective is to provide not only robust designs but innovative and cost effective solutions.
Our team have been responsible for the design of large assemblies and components including HP & LP turbine shafts & blades, vanes, vane carriers & casings, bearings & bearing housings, oil & air systems, borescopes, instrumentation, flexible couplings and drives to name only a few.

Industrial Compressors
Industrial Compressors are a huge part of the Power Generation industry. These heavy duty units must be robust, efficient, reliable and cost effective.
Our team has experience with all aspects of design and the manufacturing techniques of this type of machinery.
Contact us to discuss your requirements.
Industrial Compressors
Although heavy duty and robust, the attention to detail in the design of these units remain as high as ever.
The running clearances both axial and radial provide recognisable challenges.
Material selection for all parts is critical.
Knowledge of standard and state-of the-art manufacturing techniques is essential.
The Allander Aerotech team has the experience and knowledge to comfortably engage in this type of project.
Contact us to discuss your requirements.
Steam Turbines
Like Industrial Gas Turbines and Compressors, the Steam Turbines can be used in multi-unit strings in the Power Generation industry.
Heavy duty in nature, these units can operate in tough, rugged and environmentally hostile environments.
The same design principles apply and our teams experience in heavy duty industrial Gas Turbines and Compressor design dove-tail naturally with Steam Turbine design principles.
Our team has experience in the design of these units and the final checking of drawings, assemblies & BOMs as well as manufacturing processes.

Rig Tests/Instrumentation
Test rigs are a large part of all engine and product development.
They can be a scaled down, fully instrumented version of the production unit and are used to test all running conditions expected in the production unit.
Instrumentation could include:-
Kulites
Temperature/ pressure keil heads
Rake bodies
Strain gauges
Telemetry
Vibration measurement
Tip clearance measurement
Accelerometers
Tip timing
Contact us to discuss your requirements.
Rig Tests/Instrumentation
Our team is fully experienced in all aspects of Test Rig instrumentation.
From the positioning of the measuring points in collaboration with the experiment owners, to the running of the cables, tubes and land lines.
We have experience in telemetry and all associated instrumentation.
This technology can require specific bespoke machined features often requiring specialist machining techniques, particularly on sensitive parts like blades and vanes. In this regard we are comfortable taking on all aspects of instrumentation activities.

Flow Rigs
Occasionally a complex design can benefit from a Flow Test. Where CFD analysis data can be compared to test results from a physical test.
This is especially relevant if a power unit is being designed to operate in a mobile environment, ie in shipping or off-shore installations (FPSO) where the unit may pitch or roll considerably.
The Flow Rig would demonstrate the behaviour of the lubricant/coolant flow at all extreme operating positions.
With the Flow Rig also designed for maximum visual and camera access, the static photos and video films shot provide valuble real-time imagery that can be extremely useful when compared with CFD results
Contact us to discuss your requirements.
Flow Rigs
Our team at Allander Aerotech have experience with this aspect of design. Flow rigs can be full size or scaled down versions of a design proposal.
The flow rig components are often produced from clear perspex where possible to maximise visual line of sight and camera access.
They can also be 3D printed or conventionally machined. Our team have the experience to produce these designs, recommend and oversee the manufacture of the parts and interface with the test facility and experiment owners.

Wind Turbines
Our intention is to embrace the Green Energy initiative and get involved in the Wind Turbine industry and Green Energy sectors.
With decades of experience in Aero Engines and Power Generation and with the Global drive to develop Green Energy alternatives the natural way forward for our team is with Wind Turbines.
Contact us to discuss your requirements.
Wind Turbines
Either sea or land based our intention is to seek out opportunities to be involved in this industry and move toward a more environmentally friendly future.
