About RKTC

40 Years. Located in the Panhandle. One Focus: Industrial Turbine Integrity.

RK Turbine Consultants, LLC is an independent turbine MRO operator serving suppliers and end-users of industrial turbo-machinery worldwide.

The Operator-Grade Alternative to OEMs.

RK Turbine Consultants, LLC provides a cost-effective alternative to OEMs for replacement parts, small and major component overhaul, and technical support to suppliers and end-users of industrial turbo-machinery globally.

Our focus is the Saturn® and Centaur® product lines — from O-rings and turbine engine assemblies through to completely refurbished compression, power generation, and mechanical drive packages. Although Solar Turbines are our forte, we also support GE®, Rustin®, and Pratt & Whitney® industrial turbines.

We operate out of the Florida Panhandle, backed by 40+ years of industry experience and a team committed to quality, turnaround, and technical depth — without the OEM markup.

Owner & President

Former U.S. Air Force, Randy Kuhnell brings over 21 years of direct turbine industry experience to RKTC. His background spans mechanical expertise, operations management, customer relationship management, and business development — built over two decades in the field, not in a boardroom.

Randy founded RK Turbine Consultants to give operators a real alternative to OEM pricing and lead times — one backed by actual technical depth and hands-on accountability.

To provide operators with a cost-effective alternative to OEMs — without compromising on parts quality, turnaround, or technical depth.

Three reasons operators bring us in.

The reasons RKTC gets called when an OEM quote comes back too slow, too expensive, or too rigid for the operating reality on the ground.

01

Direct OEM Alternative

Independent of any single manufacturer. Quoted, sourced, and delivered without the OEM markup or lead-time penalty.

02

Global Technical Support

Parts shipped, field crews deployed, and technical guidance delivered worldwide. Operators across multiple sectors and continents.

03

Full-Service In-House

Overhauls, rebuilds, exchange, and field service under one operator. One vendor, one accountability chain, one call when something needs answering.

Located in the Florida Panhandle.

Both shop and field operations run out of our Florida Panhandle footprint. Centrally positioned for Gulf Coast oil & gas operators, and well-connected for parts distribution and field deployment to operators across North America and globally.
