XR Rudder

Home » XR Rudder

OPTIMAL PROPULSION EFFICIENCY

The XR rudder has been especially developed to deliver optimal propulsion efficiency in combination with first-class manoeuvring characteristics which come from rudder angles up to 80 degrees. The rudder has also been designed to be cost and fuel efficient. The rudder trunk is eco-friendly and requires minimal maintenance.

XR rudders are optimally positioned in the propeller slipstream. This maximises the vessel speed while reducing vibrations and noise. The rudder profile has been developed to be low resistance which reduces fuel consumption.

DMC advises:
To further optimise the propulsion performance, the complete Flex Tunnel package should be considered. This includes the XR rudders, the XR Hydro spoiler and the Flex Tunnels.

APPLICATION

  • Best suited for vessels operating on inland waterways in all conditions (canals, low water levels, upstream rivers etc).

ADVANTAGES

In short

  • Eco-friendly design
  • Good manoeuvrability
  • Reduced fuel consumption
  • Low resistance
  • Reduced noise and vibration
  • Competitive price

FLEX TUNNEL

DMC has developed an innovative retractable tunnel system, especially developed for inland vessels.

The concept behind the Van der Velden® FLEX Tunnel is its ability to retract. The tunnel can be retracted and embedded into the vessel hull whenever necessary. This reduces the overall resistance and increases the efficiency of the vessel.
