Specialized Propulsion System Components

Engineered for Extended Performance

Beyond our core systems, Maprom offers specialized components engineered to enhance the durability, reliability, and performance of your entire propeller shaft line. Our NCB hard-coated shaft liners provide superior protection against wear, while our MK Separators ensure your bearing lubrication water remains clean and free of damaging abrasives. These products are designed to work seamlessly with our systems, reducing maintenance and extending the life of your vessel’s propulsion equipment.

Fenders

For a serie of 3 pushers, sailing in Paraguay, built in Kampen(NL), Maprom supplied, next to the complete shaft system, the rubber/steel tow knees. The design consisted of large number of double tow knees and segmented towknees to follow the curvature of the ship. The Sheila J., shown, is one of them.

Veerhaven Fendering

All the Veerhaven pushers use a combination of single and double tow-knee fenders, for which the singles are laid out in a brick pattern. The sides of the vessel are protected with Linerite batterboard, which can follow the curvature of the sides. This combination makes for a super robust high end fendering system.

NCB Hard-Coated Shaft Liners

Protect your propeller and rudder shafts from accelerated wear with our Nickel-Chromium-Boron (NCB) hard-coated shaft liners. Using an advanced thermal spraying process, we create an exceptionally hard (58-62 HRC) and corrosion-resistant surface that is metallurgically bonded to the shaft. This technology provides a superior alternative to standard stainless steel, dramatically extending the service life of your shaft assembly, especially in abrasive environments. For vessels already in service, they offer a cost-effective solution for tail shaft repair without the need for dry-docking.

Benefits

Extreme Hardness (58-62 HRC)

Delivers exceptional resistance to abrasion and wear.

Corrosion-Resistant

Protects against all forms of seawater corrosion.

Long Service Life

Proven to extend propeller shaft life by up to 5X compared to standard liners.

Repair Without Docking

Ideal for retrofitting and repairing worn shafts efficiently.

About Us

An Integral Part of a Wear-Resistant System

Our NCB hard-coated liners are a critical component of a complete, engineered water-lubricated shaft system. By creating an exceptionally durable, wear-resistant surface, they ensure the long-term reliability of our bearings and seals, especially in the abrasive waters encountered in dredging and inland shipping. This integrated approach to wear protection is key to our promise of delivering the lowest total cost of ownership and maximizing your vessel’s uptime.

MK Separator

Ensure your bearings and seals are lubricated with perfectly clean water using the Maprom MK Separator. This innovative marine centrifugal separator is designed to continuously remove abrasive particles like sand and silt from the bearing lubrication water, protecting your entire shaft system from premature wear. The MK Separator operates without any filter inserts, eliminating the need for filter replacements and reducing maintenance to a minimum. Its inline design ensures efficient, continuous discharge of contaminants, making it the ideal maintenance-free solution for any vessel.

Benefits

Centrifugal Separation

Efficiently removes abrasive particles without disposable filters.

Maintenance-Free Operation

No filter inserts to clean or replace, lowering operational costs.

Protects Bearings & Seals

Extends the life of critical components by providing clean lubrication water.

Easy Integration

Compact, inline design for simple installation on any vessel.

About Us

Ensuring the Purity of Your Propulsion System

The performance of any water-lubricated propeller shaft system depends on the quality of the lubrication water. Our MK Separator is a key element in our Water Quality Packages, engineered to protect your investment by continuously removing abrasive particles. This ensures our water-lubricated bearings and seals operate in optimal conditions. This filterless, maintenance-free approach is crucial for creating reliable closed-loop systems and is ideal for vessels with unmanned engine rooms, guaranteeing both performance and VGP/VIDA compliance.
