Underwater Propeller Polishing services
At Trident Services, we specialize in Underwater Propeller Polishing – restoring smooth surfaces for peak propulsion efficiency.
We undertake Underwater Propeller Polishing as a precise operation with the objective of enhancing propulsion effectiveness and vessel productivity. This process is part of regular maintenance to boost your fuel economy, increase propulsion force, and prevent damage from cavitation. Our skilled divers use specialized tools and methods to delicately burnish the propeller blades. This leads to decreased resistance and extends the propeller’s lifespan.
Routine propeller maintenance should always be a priority. Rough or damaged propellers cause excessive drag, lowering your fuel economy and shortening the lifespan. Let our experts keep your propellers operating in pristine condition with routine, professional-grade polishing to ‘Rupert A’ standard .
Smoother surfaces increase thrust and reduce fuel waste from drag. Polishing saves on long-term fuel costs.
Timely polishing removes coating or corrosion before major pitting occurs, prolonging the life of each propeller.
Polished propellers experience less vibration, noise, and damage from cavitation bubbles collapsing on the surface.
Our divers undergo rigorous training to achieve a flawless Rupert Scale A finish on every propeller we service. Using multi-stage methods, we remove all imperfections and biofouling down to a 0.4-micron smoothness for optimal efficiency. No nicks or flaws are left behind.
Routine propeller care prevents sudden drops in performance. By partnering with Trident Services, you gain a trusted advisor who helps optimize your propulsion and keeps your fleet running smoothly year-round.
Rupert scale ‘A’ grade roughly equals a surface roughness of .65 microns which is apparently the highest quality finish that can be achieved by polishing propeller blades.
To attain Rupert scale ‘A’ grade, highly experienced divers will be required which is exactly what Trident Services have.
The scale of Rupert A is currently measured visually with still images taken while underwater.
Our divers don't just meet the Rupert A standard, they exceed it - leveraging decades of experience and proprietary techniques to deliver immaculate propeller surfaces unrivaled in quality and performance
