VEEMKaplan

VEEM Kaplan Propellers – Special Order

VEEM Kaplan propellers are heavy-duty, ducted inboard propellers engineered by VEEM for vessels that need maximum low-speed thrust, control, and durability. They’re commonly paired with a nozzle (Kort nozzle) to dramatically increase bollard pull and maneuverability.

What Makes a VEEM Kaplan Different

  • Ducted (nozzle) design focuses energy for superior thrust at low speeds
  • Fully CNC Machined to ISO Class-S or better
  • High blade area & thick sections to transmit torque efficiently under load
  • Optimized hydrodynamics to reduce cavitation and improve control in tight quarters

Key Characteristics

  • Blade counts: Typically, 4–5 blades (application-specific)
  • Materials: Predominantly NiBral for strength and corrosion resistance
  • Sizing: Broad diameter/pitch ranges for shaft-drive commercial vessels
  • Duty cycle: Designed for continuous operation in harsh environments

Typical Applications

  • Tugboats & push boats
  • Trawlers, draggers, and fishing vessels
  • Harbor workboats, ferries, patrol craft
  • Any vessel prioritizing bollard pull over speed
