Did you know
- Nakashima Propeller, originally Nakashima Foundry, began making propellers for fishing vessels in 1928, two years after its founding in 1926. The company expanded into manufacturing larger propellers after World War II.
- The FPP (Fixed Pitch Propeller) Series represents Nakashima's core offering in fixed-pitch propulsion, contrasting with their Controllable Pitch Propeller (CPP) series, which provides variable blade angles for enhanced maneuverability. Nakashima also offers specialized FPP types like the 'Standard type' for general vessels, the 'Ultra Speed Type' for high-speed applications, and 'Sweep type' for trawlers, alongside high-skew and keyless designs.
- Nakashima's FPP Series is chosen for its reliability, optimized efficiency, and durability, designed to maximize propulsion efficiency and reduce fuel consumption. These propellers are custom-built to balance propulsion efficiency, strength, and vibration performance for specific vessel requirements.
| Model | Propeller Type | Key Features | Typical Application |
|---|---|---|---|
| FPP Series | Fixed Pitch | Optimized efficiency, durability, custom solutions, NHV technology, Tip Rake technology, High Skew effect, Keyless option | Commercial ships, fishing boats, recreational crafts, large vessels |
| CPP (Controllable Pitch Propeller) Series | Controllable Pitch | Enhanced maneuverability, real-time pitch adjustment, fuel efficiency, robust design, immediate response from full ahead to full astern | Vessels requiring variable speed and load conditions, trawlers, tugboats, tankers, ferries, vessels with frequent speed changes (e.g., port entry/departure) |
| FPP Standard Type | Fixed Pitch | Reduces engine load with wash-back design, semi-skew design for vibration reduction | Various vessel types operating at 20-30 knots |
| FPP Ultra Speed Type | Fixed Pitch | NACA blade section for cavitation resistance and minimal slip, long boss for weight reduction | High-speed vessels |
