More than 250 CLT propellers
have been already installed or ordered for many different
ship types not only for merchant vessels but also for navy
applications and fishing vessels.
From large ships with high
block coefficients and slow turning propellers to fast craft
with a very high propeller revolution rate, as for instance
34 knots hydrofoils, have installed successfully CLT propellers.
The installed
power on ships using CLT propellers extend from 100 to 36,000
bhp, covering a wide range of propeller revolution rates.
Close to 60 applications
have been made installing CLT blades on different cp hubs,
not only for newbuildings but also replacing conventional
blades for ships in service. In these cases a close co-operation
with most of the world's leading cp mechanism manufacturers
has guaranteed the correct performance of the pitch setting
mechanism working with CLT blades. The special pitch distribution
of CLT blades enables to take advantage of their efficiency
over a wide range of pitch settings.
Repeat orders from owners
of newbuildings and retrofits show that the results promised
for CLT propellers are being achieved. Fourty companies have
CLT propellers installed on two or more vessels in their fleets.
SISTEMAR's
clients are not only Spanish companies but also companies
from all over the world: Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Indonesia,
Australia, Kenya, Iceland, Portugal, Turkey, Switzerland,
Italy, United Kingdom, Poland, Mexico, Venezuela, Chile.
Numerous papers written in
co-operation with the clients have been published in some
of the most relevant technical magazines describing the successful
results obtained both in sea trials and in service with CLT
propellers after the retrofitting of existing conventional
propellers even of the most advanced design.
The papers dealing with the
CLT applications for the Cargill International fleet are especially
relevant, as well as the experience of Trasmediterránea.
Some information on relevant
applications of CLT propellers has been included herewith.
