Propellers

 

• Money spent on horsepower can be money wasted unless your propeller has perfect pitch to give maximum thrust for each revolution.



• Bale Defence Industries' hi-tech computerised propeller measuring equipment enables repitching, repair and maintenance of propellers with accuracy not previously attainable.
  
• A perfectly pitched propeller will -

                ◊ Produce a marked increase in ship speed.
                ◊ Greatly improve fuel economy.
                ◊ Reduce vibration and associated noise.
                ◊ Reduce or eliminate cavitation.
                ◊ Extend the life of drive train and skeg bearings.
                ◊ Control maximum R.P.M. by increasing or decreasing pitch.

• We have the capacity to handle all propellers up to 3m in diameter, and can calculate exactly the correct propeller dimensions to give your vessel optimum performance.
  
• Our Long bed lathe enables machining of propeller shafts up to 7.5m between centres. With a swing of 1100 Diameter we can true up shafts to .005' run-out.
