Largest Schottel EcoPeller shipped

The Schottel Group, with its headquarters in Spay/Rhine, is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of steerable propulsion systems for ships and o shore applications.

Founded in 1921, the company has been developing and manufacturing azimuth propulsion and complete propulsion systems with power ratings of up to 30MW for vessels of all sizes and types, for more than 70 years. Around 100 sales and service locations worldwide ensure customer proximity.

More freedom in vessel design

The largest Schottel EcoPeller ever manufactured was recently shipped from the Wismar production facility. The five-bladed SRE 700 features a propeller diameter of 3,600mm and an input power of 3.2MW. Thanks to its compact design, the integrated LE-Drive (‘embedded L-Drive’) allows more freedom in vessel design. In addition to this, it o ers extremely low vibration and noise levels. The thruster’s controllable pitch propeller enables e ciency increases by means of pitch adjustment. The delivered type also permits the fullfeathering function, enabling the propeller blades to be moved to a lowresistance position if required.

Sustainable all-rounder

Since its market launch, the SRE has been gaining use in almost all vessel segments. Thanks to the particularly e ective combination of powerful propeller thrust and lateral force, the SRE fulfils all the requirements of a modern high-performance propulsion unit.The hydrodynamically optimized design allows the thruster to produce maximum steering forces and enables top values in terms of overall e ciency and course keeping ability.This reduces fuel consumption and ensures both lower operating costs and emissions.
