IHI is the abbreviation for Ishikawajima Heavy Industries. The Japanese company mainly makes machines for heavy, industrial applications such as aviation, energy generation, infrastructure and shipping. In this blog, we focus specifically on a product group with which IHI has a big name to uphold: IHI turbochargers.
There is a similarity with MasterTurbo, sister company of Wilmink Engine Parts: like Wilmink, IHI once started as a shipyard. That was back in 1853. Gradually, the company got bigger and bigger and IHI also entered the civil engineering business, for instance by collaborating on complicated structures like bridges. Today, IHI has many branches outside Japan, in Europe, the US, actually all over the world. IHI has so far produced the impressive figure of 100 million turbochargers, for light passenger cars, but mainly for heavy duty machines in agriculture, shipping and industry. MasterTurbo, as the official distributor of IHI turbos for the Netherlands, has very good experiences with IHI and the users of IHI turbos. |
IHI's range of turbochargers is wide; MasterTurbo is official distributor for all of them. Incidentally, IHI also makes turbochargers specifically for power sources running on innovative hydrogen and fuel cell or 'Fuel Cell' energy. With the latter type, the oil-free turbocharger for fuel cells, IHI won a prestigious Japanese innovation award. In the quest for efficient and sustainable use of fuels in high-performance engines, turbochargers are playing an increasingly important role.

WG1131328: for Hitachi motors. As at sea, in the industrial sector, a broken turbo can spell disaster. A production line that grinds to a halt always entails high costs, due to lost production. No wonder the owners of machinery fleets in the manufacturing industry are particularly critical of a turbo's quality and lifespan. The same goes for working with excavators, bulldozers and (construction) cranes. |
