Throttle Up Propellers, Manufactures the Worlds Finest, Strongest and Fastest Propellers in the high performance marine industry.  Our CNC process is unlike any other process of its kind.  We begin with the Purest of Stainless Steel, referred to as "Virgin".  We then heat-treat the castings in house, to meet the demands of our customers.  The propellers are machined in simultaneous multi-axis mills.  In turn, manufacturing propellers that are exacting, thus creating a propeller with unsurpassed efficiency, therefore speed.  From CAD to CAM to machinery, we utilize the most progressive software programs and equipment available, in the market today.

Our team of Designers, Engineers and Machinists have developed a line of propellers to compliment your boat.

The use of the latest computer technology is an integral part of Throttle Up Propellers manufacturing procedures. Using sophisticated computers and advanced CAD/CAM software a new propeller concept is designed. The completed design can be assessed for shape and profile then individual sections can be analyzed to determine their effectiveness, or otherwise, in operation.

Once the design has been theoretically proven, the computer generates machining toolpaths using surfaces from the propeller drawing. Basically, the complete machining of the propeller can then be simulated on the computer screen to verify such things as tool selection, cutter direction, clearances, surface blending etc.

When these machining toolpaths have been verified they are then automatically down loaded to a CNC vertical machining center (VMC). By transmitting precise co-ordinates with the computer, in effect guides the VMC tool to machine the propeller pattern exactly as it was originally drawn. Using this technology, new prototype "test propellers" are produced and water tested within our ongoing R&D program.

Once a new design has been proven, by exhaustive testing, our computer can then parametrically produce toolpaths for any combination of diameter and pitch. Resulting from this extensive R&D program some exciting new propeller designs have been produced. This advanced computer technology ensures that Throttle Up Propellers are not only of superior design, but the finished products are now consistently superior, both in terms of overall quality and accuracy, to propellers made from traditional manual pattern making methods.
