CLT propellers - Manufacturing & Reparability
MANUFACTURING
It may be accomplished just by the following companies homologated and licensed by SISTEMAR :
The procedure to manufacture a CLT propeller is similar to the one used for a conventional propeller with some differences concerning the mould, the govern of the flow of metal into the mould, the machining of the end plates, etc.
The ISO specifications for propellers together with the SISTEMAR norms are the criteria for assessment.
SISTEMAR performs a detailed inspection of each CLT propeller at the manufacturer workshop prior to its delivery.
REPARABILITY
The CLT propellers do not add an extra difficulty for repair works if compared with similar jobs performed to conventional propellers.
The repair jobs on a CLT propeller must be carried out just by those workshops homologated by the Classification Society for the repair of conventional propellers.
The procedures to be applied to the repair of a CLT propeller are the very same than those to be applied in the case of conventional propellers.
