- Key Products/Technologies
- Fixed Pitch Propellers (FPP) are a flagship product known for their robust structure and high efficiency. The company possesses the capability to manufacture large propellers up to 11m in diameter and 90 tons in weight. It supplies customized propellers optimized for a wide range of vessels, including VLCCs, LNGCs, container ships, tankers, bulk carriers, cruise ships, and special-purpose vessels.Fixed Pitch Propellers (FPP) are a flagship product known for their robust structure and high efficiency.

- Controllable Pitch Propellers (CPP) allow for rapid control of forward, stop, and reverse movements by adjusting blade pitch, enhancing vessel operating economy. Silla Metal holds a unique position as the sole supplier of CPP blades and hubs for the Republic of Korea Navy and Coast Guard vessels. Through technical cooperation with Kongsberg Maritime Sweden AB (KMAB), it supplies KaMeWa CPP systems in Korea.Controllable Pitch Propellers (CPP) allow for rapid control of forward, stop, and reverse movements by adjusting blade pitch, enhancing vessel operating economy.

- Shafting systems are manufactured for both water-lubricated and oil-lubricated applications, tailored to each vessel's operating characteristics. These systems are supplied as a package with propellers to maximize engine efficiency and ensure reliable vessel operation. The company also offers integrated supply of various stern equipment, including stern tubes, seals, bearings, rudders, and nozzles.Shafting systems are manufactured for both water-lubricated and oil-lubricated applications, tailored to each vessel's operating characteristics.

- Energy Saving Devices (ESD) include the patented S-CAP (propeller cap) and K-VG (vortex generator). S-CAP is designed to weaken the hub vortex, recover lost thrust, and achieve 2-3% fuel savings. K-VG technology smooths the stern wake, thereby reducing resistance.Energy Saving Devices (ESD) include the patented S-CAP (propeller cap) and K-VG (vortex generator).

- Advanced technologies encompass CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) for predicting vessel performance, optimizing designs, and analyzing cavitation and pressure pulsation. S-OptPro is an optimized propeller design system combining over 50 years of expertise with cutting-edge hydrodynamic design, providing customized propellers based on vessel-specific operating conditions. S-ProFit is a verified propeller retrofit solution that assesses and redesigns existing propellers to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.Advanced technologies encompass CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) for predicting vessel performance, optimizing designs, and analyzing cavitation and pressure pulsation.
