Moventas Gears UK has completed its 3.6MW gearbox load test bench and MW final assembly centre in Huddersfield.
The upgraded test bench, which was supported by the UK government’s Regional Growth Fund, is ready to tackle the multi-brand turbine gearbox market, Moventas said.
“From now on, serviced gearboxes no longer need to be sent to mainland Europe for testing,” the company said.
Moventas added it can service up to 20 different turbine brands’ gearboxes covering over 60 models.
The models include: Vestas V80 and V90; Senvion MM82 and MM92; Nordex N80 and N90; and Siemens 2.3 and 3.6 turbines.
