VEEM has been pushing the boundaries of propeller manufacturing innovation for decades, always aiming for higher speeds, better fuel economy, and lower noise and vibration. VEEM’s passion for performance and innovation is supported by manufacturing and engineering excellence, the evidence of which is in leading results and outstanding performance for vessels all over the world.
VEEM Interceptor™ fitted propellers are at the forefront of fixed pitch propeller technology around the world, allowing users to ‘Splash and Forget™’ their boats by providing adjustments to the relative pitch of their installed propellers without having to lift the boat from the water.
While many propeller manufacturers offer semi-Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machined propellers, VEEM’s high-accuracy, 5-axis CNC machinery is unique. VEEM propellers are 100% CNC machined to hair thickness accuracy over every square inch of the propeller, including the boss and high BAR overlapping blade propellers. Every VEEM propeller is S-class as a minimum. The blades are then luster polished to maximize propulsive efficiency.
VEEM Propellers are designed with precision and manufactured to perfection, leading to ultimate performance. VEEM’s propeller range features 5 unique series, most with the option of Interceptor™ technology.
The VEEMStar propeller design has been developed as a high performance propeller for use on medium-speed applications. As an ‘all-round’ propeller, it is ideal for use on all applications where performance and smoothness are of particular importance.
Suitable for all applications.
The VEEMSportfish has demonstrated unrivalled speed, maneuverability, fuel efficiency, smoothness, and back-down capacity. Blade tip geometry has been optimized to minimize visible vortex signatures, ensuring a clean wake during trolling.
Suitable for Sportfishing boats.
The VEEMSuperyacht series (previously VEEMUltraskew) is based on design criteria which guarantees extended cruising range, the lowest noise and vibration levels and exceptional propulsive efficiency.
Suitable for Superyachts.
The VEEMKaplan (including VEEMKaplan and VEEMSkewplan) propellers have excellent thrust characteristics in low speed applications and have specifically designed blade tips that are unloaded to reduce tip losses, whilst avoiding cavitation erosion.
Suitable for Commercial applications.
VEEM Interceptor™ fitted propellers are at the forefront of fixed pitch propeller technology around the world, allowing users to ‘Splash and Forget™’ their boats by providing adjustments to the relative pitch of their installed propellers without having to lift the boat from the water.
A VEEM Interceptor™ propeller features a ‘dove-tail’ groove on the blade tip of the propeller and an entry point for an Interceptor™ pitch strip.
Interceptor™ strips come in different heights and shapes, adjusting the relative pitch of each propeller blade and in turn, changing its performance.
