Propeller Repairing

Marine propeller repair is a specialized service that ensures the efficient and safe operation of vessels by addressing damage or wear on propellers. Proper maintenance and repair of marine propellers are crucial for optimal performance, fuel efficiency, and safety.

Common Propeller Issues

  1. Physical Damage: Dents, bends, and cracks caused by collisions with underwater objects or debris.
  2. Corrosion: Degradation due to prolonged exposure to seawater.
  3. Wear and Tear: Erosion and cavitation damage from prolonged use and water flow impact.

Repair Techniques

  1. Inspection: Thorough examination using visual checks, dye penetrant testing, or ultrasonic methods to identify damage.
  2. Straightening: Bending blades back to their original shape using hydraulic presses or other specialized tools.
  3. Welding: Filling cracks or replacing missing sections with compatible materials, followed by grinding to restore smoothness.
  4. Balancing: Ensuring even weight distribution across the propeller to prevent vibrations and enhance performance.
  5. Polishing: Smoothing the surface to reduce drag and improve efficiency.
