Propellers

How can you prevent a loss of performance caused by fouling from reducing efficiency by up to 25%?

Propellers are crucial for a ship’s propulsion. Fouling on the propeller disrupts the water flow and directly affects efficiency.

Even a thin biofilm can cause a noticeable drop in performance.

The consequences:

Higher fuel consumption

Loss of assets

Greater stress on the powertrain

Vibrations and Imbalance

Accelerated wear or damage

SmartFlow prevents fouling on the propeller. The system transmits ultrasonic sound waves through the surface, creating vibrations that disrupt the adhesion of microorganisms. This prevents fouling from taking hold and keeps the propeller clean, ensuring that flow and efficiency are not compromised.

A clean propeller ensures maximum propulsion efficiency. Performance and fuel consumption remain consistent, and mechanical stress is reduced. As a result, components last longer and the entire powertrain remains in optimal condition.

This ensures that the powertrain continues to operate reliably and prevents unnecessary costs.
