ADVANTAGES OF THE TUNNEL BOW THRUSTER
- Optimum thrust at minimum draft (once the propeller is under water)
- 360° of steering (in case of a 4-channel Veth-Jet)
- High thrust; approx. 11 kg per kW
- Easy to install and requires minimal maintenance
- Possibility to change propeller without (dry) docking
- The propeller only needs to rotate in one direction; it is optimized for this direction of rotation
- No protruding parts under the surface
- Possibility to change propeller without docking
- The 3 and 4 channel system can also be used as auxiliary propulsion or brake
- Fast steering time – from port to starboard in about 6 to 7 seconds
- No reverse clutch is required
- Choice of ClassicLine and CrystalLine panels
OPERATION
Veth Jet simple and effective
The principle behind the Veth Jet is simple, effective and largely self-sufficient.. Water is sucked in from under the vessel through a horizontal propeller. The water is then bent 90° through a 360° rotating drum and guided through a channel.
The entire thruster incl. gearbox is manufactured in-house. The Veth Jet is available in 2, 3 or 4 channel versions.
