FP Propellers
Up to 16 t in fixed pitch and 55 t built-up: the heart of the Fundilusa foundry.
Overview
Fundilusa’s factory produces FP propellers of up to 16 t and Ø 5,600 mm, and built-up propellers of up to 55 t and Ø 8.4 m, in bronze alloy. The offer includes Class II, Class I and Class S types, fully CNC machined.
We also cast and machine stainless-steel propellers in the same works, to the same quality system. That means one supplier, one set of approvals and one point of contact for a bronze and a stainless requirement alike, across the most demanding fixed-pitch and controllable-pitch (FPP & CPP) applications.

FAQ
FP Propellers, in detail.
What is the largest fixed-pitch propeller Fundilusa can cast?
Fundilusa casts and machines fixed-pitch propellers up to 16 t and Ø 5,600 mm. For larger units it builds built-up propellers up to 55 t and Ø 8.4 m, with blades up to 9,000 kg each.
Which bronze classes are available?
Class II, Class I and Class S. Fundilusa also has capacity for stainless-steel propellers, so a single supplier can cover both bronze and stainless requirements.
Are the propellers fully machined?
Yes. FP propellers are 100% CNC machined on 10 milling machines, 3 of them with 5 continuous axes, before final grinding, polishing and dynamic and static balancing.
Can Fundilusa supply for both FPP and CPP systems?
Yes. The monobloc propeller is the finished product for fixed-pitch (FPP) installations, and Fundilusa additionally supplies the blades and hubs used in controllable-pitch (CPP) systems.
Are stainless-steel propellers available?
Yes. Fundilusa casts and machines propellers in stainless steel as well as in Class II, I and S bronze, in the same works and under the same ISO 9001 system, so a stainless requirement does not have to be split off to a second supplier.
Is the propeller certified before delivery?
Yes. Every propeller is classified before delivery by a recognised society (ABS, Lloyd's Register, DNV, Bureau Veritas, RINA or Germanischer Lloyd) under Fundilusa's ISO 9001 system, certificate PT006500 issued by Bureau Veritas.
