Propeller blades
The emphasis of Alcopropeller's operations is on the manufacture and processing of propellers in stainless steel and bronze for fixed as well as adjustable systems. Alcopropeller is today able to deliver propellers with a diameter ranging from 50cm to 6m and a weight up to 4t.

Fans, turbines, impellers and keel blades
Different forms of fans, turbines, impellers and keel blades are examples of other product areas in which Alcopropeller's specialist know-how of processing of complex curved surfaces is utilised to the full effect. Qualified constructor resources and advanced CAD/CAM techniques can be implemented for specially adapted solutions.

Hubs, glide blocks and cowls, and grinding and finishing equipment
Alcopropeller's focus has long been on its core competence within grinding and finishing. But through extensive investments in new technology in recent years, the company's product and service offering has expanded to include production of related components such as hubs, glide blocks and cowls. Assembly and testing also form a natural part of Alcopropeller's increasingly all-inclusive offering.

Five-axis propeller-blade milling machine
Alcopropeller's ultra-modern computer-controlled five-axis milling machine is programmed in accordance with so-called 'best fit-analysis' for total precision. With the aid of advanced laser scanning the propeller blades are matched against the original 3D drawings. CNC-driven control and measurement equipment guarantees end products that always meet customer requirements.

The propeller blades are finished using hand grinding, a hard-to-master craft in which the company has a proud tradition and recognized high competence. Alcopropeller is approved by all current classification societies and has held ISO 9001:2000 quality certification since 2007.

Cutting-edge technology and craft tradition
Cutting-edge technology as well as genuine craftsmanship is utilised to produce products which exactly meet customers' specifications and requirements. Having previously focused solely on grinding propeller blades, Alcopropeller can now also mill the blades itself, in stainless steel or bronze.

In addition, the company has access to analysis and measurement equipment at the cutting edge of technical development. Its sister company Österby Gjuteri's great competence within casting and processing of stainless-steel castings further adds to the company's product offering.
