What does Maprom Engineering do?
We design, produce and supply complete water‑lubricated propeller shaft systems, including bearings, seals, shaft liners, separators and water quality packages.
How does a water‑lubricated shaft system reduce total cost of ownership?
By using seawater or freshwater as lubricant there is no need for oil changes, wear is reduced and maintenance intervals are longer.
Can Maprom design a custom shaft line?
Yes, our engineers carry out marine shaft line calculations, shaft alignment analysis and FEA simulations to create bespoke solutions for each vessel type.
Are Maprom products class‑approved?
All Maprom has several type‑approvals depending on the product from leading classification societies and our company is ISO 9001 certified.
