  • Propellers
    New propeller design & manufacture for fixed pitch propellers up to 12t...

  • We design and manufacture custom propellers with 3 to 7 blades, ranging from 30" to 160" in diameter in all types of bronze and stainless steel and up to 12 tons in weight. Each propeller is engineered for optimal performance and efficiency, using advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to tailor the design to your vessel’s specific needs. Our propellers ensure reduced fuel consumption, minimized cavitation, and enhanced durability, making them ideal for a wide range of ship types.

    Our production process is highly automated, utilizing state-of-the-art CNC machines and robots. This automation ensures precision, consistency & efficiency in manufacturing, resulting in superior quality products and reduced lead times.

  • Propeller Nozzles
    We design and supply all types of propeller nozzles for ships, ensuring optimal propulsion efficiency....

  •  Our designs are created using CFD simulations that consider the interaction between the nozzle, hull, and propeller. This comprehensive approach maximizes thrust, reduces drag, and improves overall vessel performance, making our nozzles a reliable choice for both new builds and retrofits.
  • Rudders
    Our high-performance rudders are custom-designed to enhance vessel maneuverability and efficiency....

  • Using CFD analysis, we optimize rudder shapes to reduce drag and improve energy recovery from the propeller wash. Available in various configurations, including twisted and bulb rudders, our designs minimize resistance and improve steering, ensuring precise control in all conditions.
  • Shaft Line Systems
    Our complete shaft line systems include shafts, couplings, sterntubes, seals, shaft brackets, and nozzles, all designed for maximum durability and operational reliability....

  • With our expertise in shaft alignment and vibration analysis, we ensure smooth, efficient operation that minimizes wear and tear. Each shaft line system is tailored to the specific requirements of your vessel, providing optimal power transmission and long-term performance.

    Additionally, we support your project with a complete engineering package for the driveline, featuring:
     Rational shaft alignment
     Torsional vibration calculation
     Whirling and axial vibration analysis
     FEM calculations and ICE impact assessments
