In 2011 Schottel will be represented on the Frydenbø Stand E02-29. Here[ds_preview] the propulsion experts will inform about the range of products for the shipping world.
With the SRP 4000 Schottel has started the introduction of the entirely new generation of azimuth thrusters SRP and STP for high-performance vessels in 2010. Through intensive research and development in the areas of structural mechanics and hydrodynamic design, Schottel has succeeded in developing very compact Rudderpropellers with a significant reduction of weight and oil charge. Besides the noise-optimized gearbox, which is designed for a large range of possible input speeds, and the compact construction this new SRP generation is also characterized by integrated steering hydraulics. For high-speed applications, customers may select a propeller nozzle specially tailored to these requirements.
Controllable-pitch propeller systems have been in the product portfolio of the Schottel Group for more than 10 years. They are used wherever utmost requirements in terms of variable modes of application and high manoeuvrability have to be met, from conventional freighters to fast ferries and powerful tugs, and can even be implemented for continuous operation under extreme loads in demanding offshore service with dynamic positioning. For applications requiring a lightweight construction plus high power, e.g. military vessels or yachts, Schottel has extended its product range to include a five-blade variant.
