High-Performance Marine Propellers by Rice Propulsion
At VICUSdt, innovation and propulsion performance optimization are at the core of our work. Now, with the incorporation of Rice Propulsion, we combine our engineering expertise in propellers design with a brand that boasts over 100 years of experience in the marine market.
Optimized new propellers designs for all types of vessels
Propellers play a crucial role in the efficiency and operation of any vessel. At VICUSdt, together with Rice Propulsion, we create customized solutions to enhance hydrodynamic performance. Using advanced tools like CFD simulation, we achieve precise designs that reduce fuel consumption and improve propulsion system efficiency.
A strategic partnership for a more efficient future
By integrating Rice Propulsion and leveraging the support of our sister companies within the Grupo Emenasa, we strengthen our ability to offer a comprehensive solution for propulsion and maneuvering systems—combining design, engineering, and propeller manufacturing in a single provider. If you’re looking to enhance your vessel’s efficiency with a tailor-made propeller, contact us and discover what we can do for you.
High-Quality Manufacturing with Cutting-Edge Technology
With our newly integrated brand, Rice Propulsion, we continue to provide a manufacturing methodology that ensures maximum precision and quality. Designed for all types of vessels, each propeller is tailored to meet specific requirements for thrust, speed, low noise, and minimal vibration, while also considering geometric and hydrodynamic constraints. Our range includes a wide variety of models and sizes, manufactured in bronze and stainless steel, ensuring durability and resistance under the most demanding conditions.
