The SCHOTTEL EcoPeller convinces with an outstanding overall propulsion efficiency and excellent course-keeping stability. This also leads to reduced emissions and fuel savings and is a real asset for shipowners facing the need for ever more performance and stricter emission regulations..
The SRE combines proven SCHOTTEL quality and technology with the latest, hydrodynamic insights from CFD simulations and model tests. The SRE is based on the SCHOTTEL Combi Drive design principle: The electric motor is vertically integrated into the support tube of the EcoPeller. This design saves space and eliminates the upper of the two angle gears as well as any necessary shaft lines. Thus, the EcoPeller also offers unbeatable comfort thanks to extremely low vibration and low noise levels. Additionally, the integrated High-Torque-Gear (HTG) technology provides enhanced durability and uptime of the thruster.
