3 power levels with one drive: DEPRAG turbine technology explained
A drive solution that can do (almost) everything
Assembly lines are becoming faster, systems more compact and requirements more versatile. Anyone selecting drive technology for industrial processes today needs systems that are powerful, low-maintenance and ideally also flexible. Conventional electric motors or compressed air drives quickly reach their limits - for example in confined spaces, in explosion-proof environments or when a large power range needs to be covered. This is where the DEPRAG turbine offers a convincing alternative.
Why DEPRAG turbines are different
Traditional industrial turbines are often limited to special applications, too expensive or simply not flexible enough for a wide range of applications. The DEPRAG solution focuses on industrial suitability for everyday use: compact, robust, energy efficient.


Three power levels - the right torque range for every task
At the heart of DEPRAG turbine technology is the unique power level control. If the power of the turbine is not sufficient for the application, the DEPRAG turbine can easily be switched to a higher power - without compromising on quality. Three different power ranges can be called up with just one drive - precisely adapted to the respective application:
- Stage 1 – 1.5 kW
- Stage 2 – 3.0 kW
- Stage 3 – 4.5 kW
This flexibility saves space, reduces the number of variants and simplifies integration into existing systems - offering real added value, especially in mechanical engineering.
What sets the DEPRAG turbine apart from the competition
This adjustable performance is unique on the market - you won't find it in any other drive solution. High power density, exceptional service life and minimal maintenance are also convincing - even in continuous use. DEPRAG turbine technology is also ATEX-certified and therefore safe to use in potentially explosive atmospheres. Compared to vane motors, turbines are better suited to continuous industrial use.
Another unique selling point: The DEPRAG turbine is completely sealed and can therefore even be used under water. Thanks to the integrated oil pump, the turbine can be flexibly mounted in any conceivable position - ideal for complex machine layouts.
Your advantages at a glance:
- Maximum energy efficiency
- Maintenance-free
- ATEX conformity
- Compact design
- Flexible installation position
- Optimized service life, especially in 24/7 operation
Success stories from the application
DEPRAG turbine technology is used worldwide and is convincing in numerous applications, including
- Drilling and milling applications: high performance in a compact design
- Grinding applications: high speed with low maintenance requirements
- Starter motors: reliable overcoming of the starting torque for starting small and medium-sized combustion engines and gas turbines under the most adverse environmental conditions
The three performance levels make it possible to cover different applications with just one solution. The turbine replaces several individual drives - this reduces costs and simplifies maintenance.
The result: one turbine, many solutions
With three performance levels in one drive, DEPRAG turbine technology combines what was previously considered a contradiction in terms: maximum performance with plenty of scope for an efficient and future-proof machine. The economic advantages are obvious: fewer variants, higher availability, lower operating costs.
