Propeller Design & Evaluation

Free propeller design and evaluation service: from submitted ship data Fountom simulates and proposes diameter, pitch, blade number, material and estimated weight, mainly for small to mid-size vessels.

Description

Fountom's Propeller Design & Evaluation service is a free preliminary propeller calculation based on ship data submitted via a data collection sheet. Fountom runs the data through simulation software and returns proposed propeller specifications with guidance for ordering or replacement; more detailed information is needed for a final design.

Results provided

  • Diameter, pitch and number of blades
  • Material
  • Estimated propeller weight
  • Cost, if ordering is of interest

Typical use cases

  • Original propeller design or data is no longer available
  • Small to mid-size vessels such as fishing boats, passenger ships and barges
  • Poor performance of the original propeller: noise and vibration, low propulsion efficiency, engine overload or early blade wear not caused by physical damage
