CPP overhauls: Why do CPPs need maintenance? CPP overhauls should be an important part of your regular thruster maintenance routine. Propellers are particularly susceptible to wear and tear, whether from seawater corrosion or damage caused by loose ropes and nets. Damage to propellers can also cause internal damage to the bearings, gears or shafts of your thrusters. Regular CPP maintenance will help you avoid problems at sea that could compromise vessel safety and the environment. Trust our expert teams to provide the CPP maintenance services your vessel requires to continue running safely and smoothly for years to come.

Experts in CPP maintenance

To ensure that your Controllable pitch propellers (CPPs) continue to perform at their best, it’s important that they are serviced regularly by a trusted partner with expertise in CPP maintenance. CPPs offer excellent performance and manoeuvrability, making them the propulsion system of choice for many maritime applications. They’re ideal for vessels that need to adapt quickly to changing operating conditions or make multiple port calls. Make sure your vessels remain in optimum condition with our CPP maintenance services.

 

An end-to-end controllable pitch propeller service

At RM Propulsion, our expert engineers have many years of experience in CPP repair, CPP overhaul and CPP maintenance. Starting with a detailed inspection for wear or damage, we dismantle the propeller, crank disk, sliding blocks and piston rod. This allows us to carry out a thorough inspection and gain a complete overview of the maintenance tasks required. Once we’ve verified the condition of all the components, our engineers can get to work.

CPP repair, maintenance & reconditioning

Following the inspection, we will assist with any necessary machining or reconditioning on all components to ensure the optimum operating efficiency of your vessel’s CPPs. This includes reconditioning the controllable pitch propeller hub and all other associated components. We then reassemble the system and reinstall it on your vessel. As part of our comprehensive CPP maintenance service, we can also supply a range of compatible spare parts.

Our highly skilled propulsion engineers are experts in CPP maintenance for a range of systems. They can service controllable pitch propellers on propeller shafts, bow thrusters, azimuth thrusters and stern thrusters. If you require support for a particular brand of thruster, please visit our brand-specific support pages for more information.
