Ship propeller SCP series

variable-pitchshaft drive4-blade

Robust, reliable, powerful – the SCHOTTEL ControllablePropeller combines maximum thrust and manoeuvrability with utmost reliability, low operating costs and user-friendly operation. Particularly suitable for vessels fulfilling different operation profiles, the SCP always provides optimal propulsion power for changing speeds or loads. In addition, the robust design keeps maintenance to a minimum and ensures a long service life. ADVANTAGES AT A GLANCE Maximum thrust at changing speeds and loads Reduced noise and vibration levels (particularly with 5-bladed version) Full-feathering mode (optional) Minimal maintenance thanks to its robust design Easy access to hub for less servicing effort Complete propulsion package available with comprehensive equipment PRECISION PERFORMANCE The SCP allows the propeller blades to be adjusted in pitch for manoeuvring and to adapt to changing operating conditions. The propellers are designed according to the customer’s individual requirements using state-of-the-art calculation methods such as software-based flow simulation (CFD). These ensure that the SCP meets the specific requirements of the customer. The operator thus benefits from a high degree of efficiency with lower fuel and operating costs. SCHOTTEL has enhanced its CP propeller design with its newest generation of controllable pitch propeller hubs. The improved hub shape considerably reduces the risk of cavitation, which may otherwise occur due to the high loads in applications with higher speeds. To further minimize noise and vibration levels, modern 5-bladed propellers are available in combination with the new generation CP hubs.
