A good analysis makes the difference!
Ship operators are looking for ways to reduce their CO2 emissions, fuel consumption and other negative performance issues while visiting the dry doc. Shipyards that offer a good solution are favoured and can achieve long-term success.
Use this opportunity and advance your shipyard with the most accurate and efficient analysing technology. Make your shipyard a place for the best possible balancing, optimisation, repairs and modifications!
Conventional tactile measuring methods used today can be replaced by this efficient new technology.
A bad propeller blade is one of the main reason for high CO2 emissions and fuel consumption as well as other negative performance issues. An accurate analysis is crucial for proper optimization and therefore key to eliminate propeller inconsistencies and increase the performance of a vessel.
Advance your shipyard and benefit!

Quality
ISO 484 – 1 /2
PropSAS® determines inaccuracies in propeller pitch, camber, elevations and every discrepancy and tolerance deviation according to ISO 484/2.
Because of PropSAS® high accuracy we even introduced our own class 0!
On-site balancing
Virtual dynamic balancing without need to remove propeller from drive shaft.
ISO 1940 1:2003
The standard has issued guidelines with regard to a number of different kinds of devices. A balance quality grade of G6.3 is appropriate for most of propellers. A grade of G2.5 is usually only required on very special equipment. We exceed these standards, and we offer G2.5 grade balancing in most cases.
The PropSAS® service
3D Scanning
Using the latest 3D scanning technology, PropSAS® records three-dimensional shapes of marine propellers with accuracy and independent of materials and dimensions. The 3D scan captures the exact geometry of the scanned propeller surface with its bumps and lumps as well as its thickness and volume.
Reverse engineering
After scanning, you get an exact 3D replica of your propeller blade. PropSAS® displays the 3D surface and directly shows all deviations from the ISO 484/2 standard. By monitoring the volume of the propeller blades, you get important information about its balance. All this information is needed for a perfect optimization.
Simulating & evaluating
For a clear image of your ship’s current state and the best possible optimization, PropSAS® enables you to simulate and evaluate all relevant categories – fluid behaviour, propeller-hull interaction, drag resistance and many more.
Best quality service
Refurbishment and repairs, modifications and improvements, balancing, or optimization and modification of the propulsion system, PropSAS®'s advanced 3D scanning technology consistently provides the most effective way to achieve top-notch results. The precise capture and detailed analysis of the propeller's geometry enable unmatched optimization in terms of balance and efficiency, leading to enhanced performance and reduced fuel consumption for the ship.
Advance your service
Use the most reliable end precise portable 3D scanning method, to generate detailed stereolithography images and offer the best possible service to your customers.
Refurbishment and repairs
Provide efficient and precise on-site service for all possible repairs and refurbishments of propeller geometry.
Modifications and improvements
Generate a detailed image of the actual marine propeller to locate all imperfections and thus all possible modifications of the geometry to ensure highest manufacturing tolerance class. Inspect easily leading-edge radius, blade thickness, pitch angles.
On-site balancing
Inspect dynamic balance of marine propeller for desired rotational speed. Stereolithography image of propeller is analysed in special software for virtual balancing, now is not necessary to remove propeller from the drive shaft and can be balanced immediately in dry dock. This gives you a maximum competitive advantage.
Optimization and modification of propulsion system
Our engineering department enhances latest hydrodynamic computing technology which helps you to foresee possible improvements of propulsion system. Evaluating and retrofitting actual propeller geometry and present configuration of propulsion system can improve over all vessel performance and efficiency.
