KBB · HPR · HPA · ST · Turbocharger
Genuine, OEM and reconditioned spares for KBB turbochargers — the KBB HPR, the high-efficiency HPA / HPA and the KBB ST series — sourced beside Alang, shipped to India, UAE, Singapore & worldwide.
A century of diesel
Kompressorenbau Bautzen (KBB) is founded in Germany, building turbomachinery.
KBB develops the HPR high-pressure-ratio marine exhaust-gas turbocharger series.
KBB launches the high-efficiency HPA series for low-emission engines.
KBB adds two-stage and high-pressure-ratio turbocharging.
KBB turbochargers run on modern medium- and high-speed engines; Wattmare keeps every HPR and HPA unit running with genuine, OEM-equivalent and Alang-reconditioned parts.
Who is KBB
KBB (Kompressorenbau Bautzen) of Germany makes the HPR and HPA high-pressure-ratio marine exhaust-gas turbochargers, fitted to medium- and high-speed marine and genset engines across the world fleet.
A single fleet can run the HPR series, the high-efficiency HPA series, or the ST / R2S turbochargers — and Wattmare supplies genuine, OEM-equivalent and Alang-reconditioned turbocharger spares (rotors, cartridges, nozzle rings, bearings and compressor wheels) across every KBB frame size.

Engine series we cover
Mechanical 2-strokeThe classic two-stroke that powered a generation of merchant ships. Many are ageing out — exactly why fleets struggle to find parts. Our strongest Alang line.
View all 23 HPR models
Common-rail 2-strokeThe rotor-free high-efficiency two-stroke — sealing-air and bearings controlled electronically from a high-pressure rail. We hold sealing rings, sealing-air parts, injection equipment, cartridges and compressor wheels.

|---|---|
| Loss of compression or power on one unit | Turbocharger cartridge, sealing rings, compressor wheel |
| High exhaust temperature after the turbocharger | Nozzle ring, bearing spindle |
| Knocking or pounding from the rotorcase | Main, thrust or shaft bearings |
| Rising charge-air temperature | Cartridge wear, sealing rings, shaft-seal rings |
| Difficult or failed starting | Starting air valve, lube-oil pump (plunger / barrel) or rail valve |
| Black or smoky exhaust | Nozzle ring nozzles, slide valves, turbocharger interface |
| Oil leak at the compressor wheel-rod gland | Stuffing box scraper and sealing ring set |

The complete guide
Wattmare is a specialist KBB turbocharger spare parts supplier serving India, the UAE, Singapore and the wider global fleet. From our base in Bhavnagar — beside the Alang ship-recycling yard — we supply genuine, OEM-equivalent and reconditioned spares for every generation of KBB two-stroke marine turbocharger, dispatched worldwide in 24–48 hours.
KBB turbochargers are designed and built by Kompressorenbau Bautzen of Germany, a turbomachinery specialist since 1948. The HPR and HPA series power modern medium- and high-speed marine and genset engines worldwide. We supply spares across all of them.
The single most important question on any KBB order is whether the engine is an HPR, an HPA or an ST series. The KBB HPR is classic — lube-oil pump, fuel cam, shaft seal and mechanical bearing gear. The HPA / HPA and the KBB ST series are electronically controlled, replacing the rotor with a high-efficiency supply unit, sealing rings, sealing-air parts and hydraulically actuated bearings. Cartridges, casings, compressor wheels and bearings are broadly common by frame size, but injection and actuation parts are entirely different — always give us your exact HPR / HPA / ST series designation.
Alongside the two-strokes, KBB’s medium-speed four-stroke engines power gensets and auxiliary sets. The range — KBB HPR, HPA and ST turbochargers, plus the V-versions — is among the most installed auxiliary engines afloat. While this page focuses on the marine turbochargers, we also supply rotor shafts, compressor wheels, cartridges, valves, nozzle rings, lube-oil pumps and bearings for these four-strokes.
Bhavnagar sits beside Alang, where hundreds of vessels are dismantled every year — including ships still running ageing KBB HPR two-stroke engines. That gives Wattmare direct access to genuine, low-hour parts that are slow or costly to source from distributors, at a fraction of new-part cost and lead time. For hard-to-find HPR lube-oil pumps, shaft seals, cartridges or rotating assembly, this is the fastest source in the world. Browse our reconditioned marine spare parts range, the wider turbocharger spare parts category, or sister brands like MAN engine spares and Mitsubishi UEC.
Send your KBB engine make and model with a photo or part number on WhatsApp, or use the quote form. We confirm availability and price — usually within the hour — and dispatch in-stock items within 24 hours. Typical air-freight transit is 12–18 hours to the UAE, 16–24 to Singapore, 20–26 to Greece and Turkey, and 28–36 to Northern Europe.
FAQ
Yes — turbocharger cartridges are one of our strongest KBB lines. We carry genuine and reconditioned cartridges for the HPR and HPA series, plus the rest of the HPR range (HPR3000 to HPR6000), honed to OEM tolerance with measurement reports. Most legacy HPR cartridges are recovered and reconditioned beside Alang.
The KBB HPR is a classic (mechanical) two-stroke — lube-oil pump, fuel cam and mechanical bearing actuation. The HPA / HPA and the KBB ST series are electronically controlled, replacing the rotor with a high-efficiency supply unit, sealing rings, sealing-air parts and hydraulically actuated bearings. Cartridges, compressor wheels and bearings are broadly similar by frame size, but the injection and bearing actuation parts are completely different — always quote your exact HPR, HPA or ST series model.
We cover the full two-stroke range — the current KBB ST series (ST, ST, ST, ST, ST, ST, ST), the high-efficiency HPA / HPA (the HPA and ST range) and the legacy KBB HPR (HPR3000 up to HPR6000, including the HPA and ST variants) — every KBB HPR, HPA and ST frame size. We also supply the four-stroke medium-speed KBB HPR, HPA and ST turbochargers.
Reconditioned parts ship with inspection reports, dimensional measurements and photographs, and are accepted by class societies (Lloyd’s Register, DNV, ABS, BV, ClassNK, RINA) on survey. Genuine KBB parts carry full material and test certificates.
In-stock items dispatch within 24 hours from Bhavnagar. Typical air-freight transit to the UAE (Dubai, Jebel Ali, Fujairah) is 12–18 hours. Singapore is 16–24 hours, Greece and Turkey 20–26, and Northern Europe 28–36.
Yes — nozzle rings, injector nozzles, high-pressure lube-oil pumps, plungers and barrels for KBB HPR engines, plus high-efficiency supply units, sealing rings, sealing-air parts and injection equipment for HPA / HPA and ST series engines, are stocked and bench-tested before dispatch.
Genuine parts come from the original maker (KBB / KBB) with full certificates. OEM-equivalent are quality aftermarket parts at 30–50% less. Reconditioned are low-hour parts recovered from Alang, inspected and certified to OEM tolerance, at up to 70% less with a 30-day warranty.
Yes — obsolete KBB HPR parts are our specialty. Beside Alang we recover low-hour lube-oil pumps, shaft seals, cartridges and wheels and rotating assembly from HPR-powered vessels being dismantled, then inspect and certify them. For the HPR and HPA range and HPR engines this is often the fastest source in the world.
Yes — rotor, cartridge and bearing spares for the four-stroke medium-speed KBB HPR, HPA and ST turbochargers, including rotor shafts, compressor wheels, cartridges, nozzle rings and bearings, fuel equipment and bearings for gensets and auxiliary engines.
