| | The VEEMKaplan propeller series is suited to nozzle applications and is extremely popular for sailboat trawlers, tugs and other vessels requiring high towing or bollard pull thrust. The Kaplan propeller is designed to operate in a nozzle and has excellent thrust characteristics in low speed applications. The Kaplan propeller has a combination of aerofoil sections and double ogival sections towards the tip. The blade for boat contour has a wide tip that is designed to run with a close fit to the inside of the nozzle. Each Kaplan propeller is customized for rake, blade area and boss detail to suit for boats the specific requirements of each vessel. Why compromise when VEEM can supply you with a propeller that provides optimum performance? The VEEMKaplan is manufactured from high strength nickel aluminium bronze material, providing high quality castings with excellent resistance to corrosion, erosion and fatigue. In addition, nickel aluminium bronze is readily repairable. | The VEEMSkewplan propeller is a further evolution to the highly successful VEEMKaplan propeller. The Skewplan is designed for use in applications similar to the Kaplan such as on trawlers, tugs and long liners, whilst providing superior smoothness. Reducing noise and vibration is of particular concern for vessels which operate for extended periods of time, where crew fatigue is not only dangerous, but reduces productivity. Not simply a skewed Kaplan, the Skewplan incorporates many additional features not found on competitors' propellers. Blade foil sections have been further optimised to suit modern trawling and bollard pull applications, which means that the Skewplan is well suited to new nozzle designs. Water inflow angle is optimised to each area of the propeller using a variable pitch distribution, as compared to the constant pitch of the Kaplan design, which has the additional effect of controlling cavitation near the blade tips. Overall the Skewplan offers excellent bollard pull, high efficiency, and smooth operation, making it the ideal choice for any vessel equipped with a nozzle. | |
