Our Propeller Design Services
Propeller design is crucial for the performance and efficiency of vessels, from smaller vessels to massive cruise ships. By optimizing elements like blade shape, diameter, and vortex dynamics, designers can significantly reduce drag, increase thrust, and ultimately improve fuel efficiency.
New propeller design for fixed pitch propellers up to 12t
VICUSdt offers a customized service, including new propeller design, propeller analysis manufacturing and technical support. Our engineers have many years of experience in CFD propeller design , manufacturing and supply of complete propulsion package, including shaft lines, stern tubes, nozzles and rudders.
Optimized Vessel Propeller Designs for Every Marine Application
VICUSdt PROPELLERS are suitable for any kind of vessel, including yachts, ferries, fishing vessel, oceanographic and navy vessels. VICUSdt designs propellers that guarantee compliance with the customer requirements in terms of speed, tow pull, low noise or vibration, as well as geometric and hydrodynamic limitations. Small improvements in the propeller efficiency can provide important fuel savings in the ship operation.
Propeller Analysis: shafting calculations
Apart from hydrodynamics, we also take care of the FEM (finite element) calculations required for compliance with ICE Class notations for propellers as well as all the shafting calculations.
FPP: propeller manufacturing
In the foundry, we have all the necessary equipment to manufacture FP propellers up to a maximum of 12 tons in weight and certified by the main IACS Classification societies. Our experience covers from strong inland navigation ducted propellers to the most silent Class S high skew propellers for Navy and Yacht applications.
VICUSdt uses HydroComp software in propellers’ design, NavCad, PropElements and PropCad, being the European representative of HydroComp software.
