Did you know
- Nakashima Propeller, founded in 1926, has a long history of developing marine propulsion equipment. The company has continuously advanced its propeller technology, including the Controllable Pitch Propeller (CPP) series, leveraging expertise gained from fixed pitch propellers.
- Within Nakashima's product range, the CPP Series offers models tailored for different vessel sizes and power outputs. The Model XS CPP is designed for medium and small vessels, typically under 4,500 kW, while the Model XL CPP is intended for large vessels, generally those with 4,500 kW or more.
- The CPP Series is chosen for its ability to adjust blade pitch in real-time, providing enhanced maneuverability, optimized fuel efficiency across varying load conditions, and improved stopping performance. This flexibility allows the engine to operate at its most efficient load continuously, contributing to reduced fuel consumption and lower NOx emissions.
| Model | Vessel Size/Power Output | Pitch Control Mechanism Location | Key Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| CPP Series (Model XS) | Medium to Small Vessels (under ~4,500 kW) | Hydraulic cylinder inside intermediate shaft (inboard) | Efficient for fluctuating demands, precise control for smaller vessels. |
| CPP Series (Model XL) | Large Vessels (4,500 kW or more) | Hydraulic cylinder inside outboard propeller hub | Superior pitch control accuracy, supports large volume output, smooth and precise adjustments. |
| Fixed Pitch Propeller (FPP) | Various (often for consistent speed/power demands) | Fixed blade angle | Optimized efficiency at a single design point, simpler system. |
