The Propulsion Systems Center (PSC, a division of Zvezdochka Ship Repair Center) has manufactured a propeller for an Icebreaker 6 class icebreaker. The vessel operates on the Northern Sea Route, the company's press service reported.
The specialists faced a difficult task: to manufacture a solid-cast propeller made of stainless steel with a diameter of 4.2 m and a weight of 12 tons. Design engineers at the PSC developed a drawing of the propulsion unit based on scanned copies of documentation preserved from the Finnish manufacturer.
Then they measured the propeller itself and prepared new design and engineering documentation using reverse engineering. The quality of the finished product was confirmed by employees of the Arkhangelsk branch of the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping.
The PSC is located in Severodvinsk. The company specializes in the design, manufacture, and repair of propellers and propulsion systems. Over the entire period of operation, the center has manufactured over 23,000 propellers.
