4- blade fixed pitch propeller (FPP) is the most common type of propeller. Fountom propeller designs are matched to the vessel's hull and its operating profile, to deliver the optimum in propeller efficiency. Based on strong casting technology, specialized processing methods, an experienced technical team, and advanced machinery, Fountom is capable of designing, and manufacturing medium to giant propellers with diameters up to 8 meters.
Fountom has extensive hydrodynamic knowledge and has developed design tools based upon years of experience with calculations, model test results, and full-scale measurements.
What kind of propellers can be ordered from Fountom

Outstanding features of Fountom propellers
Optimal propeller efficiency
Propeller is the key to maximizing power efficiency, Fountom takes it through design, manufacturing, and test processes, and the radial distribution of circulation, resembling lift or thrust shall be specified to obtain the optimum efficiency.
Noise, vibration and cavitation control
Design and manufacture the propellers with low vibration & noise levels and no harmful cavitation.
Take materials seriously
Fountom chooses high-purity copper to build your propellers and rejects 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 order propellers from Fountom, quite many barely keep propeller design copies. The absence of the approved propeller design brings big trouble in propulsion system maintenance, repair, and replacement. Fountom always sends you the approved copies of propellers, and keeps 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.
