Scana Propulsion System - Integrated Propulsion Systems Consisting of Reduction Gears, CP Propellers and Remote Control Systems

Scana Volda is based on the western coast of Norway, close to the fishing and offshore vessel markets we have been serving since 1913. The company has grown to become a reputable supplier of high quality reduction gears, CP propellers and remote control systems for the global markets. Scana Propulsion systems are suitable for all major main and auxiliary engines and most ship types. Scana Propulsion systems can be delivered with a certificate of any of the major classification societies, including all ice classes.

Scana Propulsion systems are available through a global sales and service distribution system, a combination of Scana sales offices and sales agents, and the dealer network of strategic partners. The appointment of Scana Volda as preferred supplier to Caterpillar on gear and cp-propeller systems for the complete propulsion concepts MPP and Provoc, makes the products available from all dealers of Caterpillar and MaK engine makes.

REDUCTION GEARBOXES

The design of Scana Volda gearboxes are based upon long experience, engineering skills and excellent workmanship to make them one of the most reliable gearboxes in the market. Scana Volda reduction gearboxes can be delivered in the power range of approx. 500kW to 20,000kW

All materials used in the gearboxes are carefully selected to ensure the right conditions of the product. The gearhousing is made from high quality cast iron to achieve a rigid and stiff design to safely absorb all forces during operation at maximum load. Plain whitemetal bearings for pinion and bullgear shafts ensure extremely high reliability. The gearwheels are of the very highest quality, and designed with large safety margins.

Scana Volda Gearboxes have a great arrangement flexibility:

• Vertical or horizontal offset
• Co-axial offset
• Twin-in, single-out versions
• One or two speed single PTO/PTI solutions
• Multiple PTO solutions of 1-8 units
• Integrated hydraulic clutching configurations

CP PROPELLERS

Scana Volda manufactures CP-Propellers in the power range of 500kW to 15,000kW, with propeller diameters from approx. 2,000mm to 7,500mm. The hydrodynamic design of the propeller blades, preferably based on data from model tests of the vessel and adapted to the ship's service profile, ensures the customer's optimum overall efficiency of the vessel. Scana's construction criteria are always based on minimum cavitation and lowest possible noise and vibration level.

Scana Volda CP Propellers comes in a wide range of design varieties:

• Standard hub range from 520mm to 1,350mm

The Scana Remote Control system has these control functions:

• Propeller pitch control
• RPM control
• Clutch controls

Available operation modes:

• Individual pitch and rpm
• Fixed rpm
• Combinations of pitch and rpm to follow the optimum load curve
