Marine Propellers and Research Supporting Sustainability: The Eco-Friendly Solution by Detra

Detra Srl has always been at the forefront of research and optimization of marine propellers, offering tailor-made products that combine durability, adaptability, reparability, and recyclability. Thanks to advanced measurement technology with 3D scanners and other softwares that we acquired over time, we can now further optimize our design and production processes, reducing waste and contributing to a more sustainable future. Starting with the protection of our seas.

With custom-designed propellers, it is possible to achieve:

  • Greater energy efficiency, reducing fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
  • Lower noise levels, a critical factor in minimizing acoustic impact on the marine ecosystem and preserving underwater wildlife.

The Importance of Research in Sustainable Improvement

One of the pillars of Detra’s success is our continuous investment in research and development. By collaborating with research institutes, universities, and technology partners, our company explores new technologies and innovative materials, in order to:

  • Deeply analyze the hydrodynamic behavior of propellers thanks to advanced simulations and mathematical models.
  • Develop lighter, stronger, and more sustainable materials, ensuring propellers that are not only performing but also easily recyclable.
  • Optimize production processes to ensure a more efficient use of resources, minimizing waste and energy consumption.

Maintenance, Repair, and Recyclability

Detra Srl promotes sustainability also through maintenance, repair, and modification of existing propellers. These services extend the operational lifespan of propellers, enhancing their performance and reducing the need for new production. Furthermore, the design approach focuses on solutions that facilitate easy repair and recycling, minimizing resource waste and actively contributing to environmental protection.

A Tailor-Made Approach for the Marine Environment

Thanks to optimized and custom-designed geometry, we can minimize vibrations and radiated noise, enhancing onboard comfort while contributing to the preservation of the marine environment.
Thanks to its ongoing commitment to research and sustainability, Detra stands out as a leader in the marine propeller industry, offering high-performance, durable, and environmentally friendly products.
