Spay, Germany, based propulsion professional Schottel has actually provided the very first devices of a brand-new collection of medium-sized azimuth thrusters. The M-series contains numerous tail prop dimensions covering a power variety of 400 to 1,000 kW. Its modular system makes sure the ideal suitable for any kind of vessel style.
With the M-series, Schottel addresses brand-new difficulties in the marketplace that consist of moving engine power courses, upgraded ice course policies as well as an ever-increasing variety of electrical or hybrid-driven vessels.
The M-series azimuth thrusters, which incorporate the most up to date advncements in mechanical design, hydrodynamics as well as digitalization, are offered in 3 dimensions: 210 (640 kW), 240 (850 kW) as well as 270 (1,000 kW), representing usual engine power courses.
All dimensions are outfitted with an effective global guiding equipment.
Schottel states that the M-series azimuth thrusters supply the ideal remedy for any kind of vessel kind as well as application with a variety of numerous source of power choices as well as input instructions. The azimuth components are offered for Z-drives, L-drives as well as ZY-hybrid drives, making them ideal for straight electrical, upright electrical or mixed straight engine plus straight electrical motor link. Thus, the M-series thrusters are likewise suitable with crossbreed remedies– such as Schottel SYDRIVE.
NO VESSEL STYLE ADJUSTMENTS REQUIRED
Thanks to 2 fundamental setup variations, the M-series deals with any kind of sort of vessel style. In enhancement to the basic setup with variable prop arm size, a portable lessened version with much shorter prop arm size is offered. These small setup variations (LC for L-drives, ZC for Z-drives) supply better style flexibility for ship developers, while leaving even more area for various other devices. Both the requirement as well as the small version can be bolted, bonded or resiliently placed on vessels.
VARIOUS PROPULSION COMPONENTS
Two various propulsion components guarantee that the M-series can be utilized for several procedure accounts. The confirmed Schottel Rudderpropeller (SRP) is widely ideal for all basic applications as well as vessel styles, attaining high bollard pull as well as optimum propulsion effectiveness for vessels with tool rates.
The Schottel EcoPeller (SRE) makes sure exceptional prop efficiency in regards to general effectiveness as well as program security in extra requiring applications as well as when going for greater solution rates, as an example, with ferryboats. The SRE lowers both gas intake as well as discharges, resulting in reduced operating expense.
The brand-new Schottel M-series includes a modular system that permits several setup choices. Great flexibility as well as adaptability in the tool power variety, high dependability, ideal extra component accessibility, as well as great retrofit choices– all integrated with the very best propulsion effectiveness many thanks to most recent hydrodynamic optimization as well as auto mechanic style.
