Mobile propeller balancing and repair

MPR BV in the Netherlands has developed new mobile measurement and balancing equipment for CPP blades of up to 6.5 tonnes per blade.

MPR’s new mobile propeller blade measurement and balancing equipment

With this equipment MPR can measure and balance blades to very high levels of accuracy anywhere within driving distance of the Netherlands. Although this equipment has only recently been introduced, it has already been used at locations as far afield as Norway and southern Spain, saving owners both time and money as blades no longer have to be transported long distances to a suitable workshop.

MPR continuously optimises equipment and is currently developing a compact air-freightable version of this measurement and balancing equipment so as to be able to offer this service on a worldwide basis in the near future.

MPR now has a unique capability which complements its road transportable mobile balancing equipment for fixed pitched propellers, enabling propellers of up to 15 tonnes to be balanced and repaired.
