VEEM has taken its ‘Splash and Forget’™
technology to the next level allowing every boat to be launched with
the correct propeller every time.
Imagine being able to design and build a new model of boat and have
it hit the right engine revs and load without the need to change or
modify the propellers. You can now retain all the benefits of using
VEEM’s class leading CNC propeller designs regardless of final
boat configuration.
The Interceptor Propeller™ Technology
The Interceptor Propeller™ technology also means that you can
use all of the engine power that you paid for regardless of boat weight
or operating environment.
Now you can fish in cold and hot climates using the same propeller
by simply changing the Interceptor strips. Adding a tower to a boat
is no longer a trigger to fit new or modified propellers.
The VEEM Interceptor Propeller™ system eliminates the many thousands
of dollars wasted each time a
boat needs to be lifted to have its propellers changed or modified.
The cost saving of this new system does not end there either. Fuel
consumption and the ‘Carbon Footprint’ of every boat can
be minimized by ensuring the engines are operating exactly where they
were designed to operate over the entire life of the boat.
VEEM’s revolutionary Interceptor Propeller™ allows changes
to the pitch of the propeller without removal from the boat and this
can even be done underwater.
VEEM holds several international patents for the system which uses
different height Interceptor strips to adjust the effective pitch
of the propeller.
Comprehensive Testing
Comprehensive testing has demonstrated excellent efficiency at high
speed due to the camber affect of the Interceptor.
A specially designed entry point is provided at one end of the groove
to facilitate the installation of the Interceptor strip. Each blade
is specially designed to allow a captive groove to be machined into
the trailing edge of the pressure face to receive the Interceptor
strip. The strip is fed in from a special opening near the root of
the blade allowing centrifugal force to hold the strip in place.
The Strips are color coded to make identification easy. Should the
pitch of the propeller need to be changed, the old strip is simply
pushed out and a new strip of a different height is pushed in.
The strips come in different colors to easily identify the size of
the Interceptor. This also makes it easy for a diver to identify what
size strips are installed prior to changing the strips.
The strips are made from a specially formulated high density polymer
making them long lasting and cheap to replace when the boat is lifted
for scheduled maintenance.

of Our Customers!
Your team did a fantastic job. We got them on with the prop speed about
10 days ago, and dropped the boat in the water last Thursday for the run
back around to Rudee. With a clean bottom and the new props we picked up
1.5 knots at both cruise and top end!! The boat bounced 35 knots at 3050
rpm/98 % load. Top speed prior when I picked the boat up new from the factory
was 33.5 knots. What I really like is the cruise, better speed, fewer rpms,
smaller fuel burn….. How can I go wrong? And we didn’t have
to use the tabs. I can’t wait to see how they work in the blue water.
Thanks for all of your insight and for asking the right questions.
Sincerely,
David Walker Zip Products Read more customer testimonials here |
