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
