Outstanding features of Fountom propellers

propeller balance test

Optimal propeller efficiency

Propeller is the key to maximize power efficiency, Fountom takes it through design, mannufacturing and test processes, the radial distribution of circulation, resembling lift or thrust shall be specified to obtain the optimum efficiency.

Noise, vibration and cavitation control

Design and manufacturer the propellers with low vibration & noise levels and no harmful cavitation.

Take materials seriously

Fountom choose the high-purity copper to build your propellers, and reject recycled low purity coppers, which brings better propeller strength, yet smaller weights to the finished propeller.

Truly your propeller -warranted

Amongst hundreds of shipowners, shipping consultants or even shipyards that orders propellers from Fountom, quite many barely keeps propeller design copies. The absence of the approved propeller design brings big trouble in propulsion system maintenance, repair and replacement. Fountom always send you the approved copies of propellers, and keep a full record. Each propeller shall have a warranty period of 12 months since vessel sea trial, Fountom is confident and responsible for what it sells.
