'One-Stop Shop' For Props
Hartzell Propeller Inc. announced Friday it has introduced its
own line of Hartzell-designed propeller de-ice components, with
plans to support the entire catalog of Hartzell propellers that
feature de-ice capability. The new Hartzell de-ice components will
replace previous, third-party manufactured de-ice parts, including
de-icer boots, wire harnesses, and slip rings.
Hartzell representatives tell ANN the company's de-ice
components have been designed, extensively tested and FAA certified
to match or exceed the performance of the previous supplier's
products. Hartzell is in full-scale production of its new de-ice
product line and is stocking parts for immediate shipment when
replacement parts are required.
Hartzell de-ice products will be offered with warranty coverage
superior to other suppliers’ coverage. The de-icer boots
themselves will be covered for 18 month/2000 flight hours.
Other components of the de-ice kits will feature a 12 month/1000
flight hour warranty. The key difference from other suppliers is
that the Hartzell warranty also covers labor to remove and replace
defective parts.
In addition to component production, Hartzell also has developed
the capability to engineer the entire propeller de-ice system for
new applications in order to offer its OEM customers a one-stop
source for complete propeller system design. This will
further improve Hartzell's ability to provide customers with
responsive propeller design, development and certification
support.
Hartzell de-ice parts are available directly from Hartzell or
through its worldwide network of recommended propeller repair
stations.
