High efficiency - Alpha fixed pitch propeller for long-haul propulsion by Everllence

FPPs for the lowest operational costs

Alpha (former MAN Alpha) FPPs are ideal for ships where the highest efficiency and sturdy simplicity take top priority.

Our tailored FP propeller designs with bolted replaceable blades or bolted adjustable blades are a great fit for special high ice class ship and propulsion applications. Bolted blades can be exchanged without docking the vessel, and bolted adjustable blades make it possible to adjust the “fixed” pitch setting. Furthermore, we offer a new-generation of mono-block FP propeller with flanged hub/shaft connection. Shaft line systems with tail shafts, intermediate shafts, bearings, shaft alternators, and couplings are always customized and optimized to the individual powertrain and ship.

Characteristics

Fixed pitch propellers are the obvious choice for ocean-going vessels involving straightforward propulsion plants and operational patterns with long-haul sailing at service speeds at or around the propeller design and layout point, close to or precisely at the maximum propulsive efficiency. Straightforward FPPs are also specified for smaller yachts and workboats.

Benefits

Lowest TCO (total cost ownership): The highly efficient design with few wearing parts ensures operational savings – robustly designed for high reliability and longevity.
Minimum fuel consumption and emission levels: Maximized propeller efficiency ensures reduced fuel consumption and a reduction in the exhaust gas emission levels.
Efficiency optimized by design: The superior efficiency from the streamlined and smallest hub dia./propeller dia. ratio is used with respect to controlled cavitation, pressure pulses, and noise.
