Controllable-Pitch Propeller

SCHOTTEL controllable-pitch propellers (SCP), manufactured by SCHOTTEL-Schiffsmaschinen GmbH (formerly WPM), are propulsion systems that can be used with almost any type of vessel. The power spectrum ranges from 600 kW to 30,000 kW, with propeller sizes varying between approximately 1.5 to 8.0 metres.

Advanced calculation methods allow the controllable-pitch propeller systems to be optimally adapted to the vessel’s hull form, thereby maximizing efficiency and minimizing noise generation.

The simple structure of the SCP guarantees a high level of user-friendliness, and the robust design keeps maintenance requirements to a minimum and ensures it a long service life.
