Case Study:
Propeller Shaft Repair Solution.
Propellor Shaft Repair Solution:
A large vessel in Senegal experienced severe operational vibrations caused by extensive wear on the propeller shaft. To mitigate the high costs and prolonged downtime associated with a full replacement, the customer sought a reliable repair solution. A practical and efficient refurbishment was essential to restore the vessel’s performance while minimizing operational disruptions.
Resimac SA Propeller Shaft Repair Solution.
- Machining the damaged propeller shaft to a consistent 10mm depth for precise preparation.
- Application of 101 Metal Repair Paste to rebuild the surface and restore integrity.
- Resurfacing with 202 Ceramic Repair Fluid for a smooth, durable, and erosion resistant finish.
Application Details – Resimac Solutions.
The worn propeller shaft area was machined with undercut edges to ensure strong adhesion and proper surface preparation. Resimac 101 Metal Repair Paste was applied in multiple wet-on-wet layers to minimise air encapsulation, create a solid repair, and restore the shaft’s structural integrity. After curing, the excess material was machined away to achieve the correct surface profile and precise alignment. Finally, a brush application of 202 Ceramic Repair Fluid provided a smooth, hard wearing finish, ensuring durability and long term protection against operational stresses and environmental wear.
