| The principle of operation of the Veth-Jet is as simple as it is effective. With the help of a horizontally mounted propeller, the water is drawn up from underneath the vessel. Through a 3600 rotating drum the water is bent 900 and guided into one or two channels making the vessel manoeuvrable. A 2, 3 or 4 channel execution can be chosen of which the 3rd and 4th channel can be used as a brake or emergency propulsion. The side channels are horizontally mounted while the front and aft channel are installed at an angle. The rotating drum can be steered stepless in all directions. Every position in between can be chosen with the 3 and 4 channel system. A major benefit of the Veth-Jet is that with a minimal draught the maximum thrust can be achieved without parts protruding through the marine ships hull. A draught of 35 cm can be enough depending on the size of the unit. |
