The HamiltonJet Promise Total Waterjet Solutions HamiltonJet HM series waterjets provide highly efficient propulsion for high speed vessels operating in the world’s most demanding marine environments. Combining quality materials and manufacturing with superior research, design and product support ensures HamiltonJet HM waterjets out-perform other models in their class. With experience spanning six decades, HamiltonJet provides a totally integrated waterjet propulsion solution to the marine industry. From initial enquiry and right through the lifespan of a vessel, HamiltonJet offers a comprehensive...

The Waterjet Advantage As vessel speed increases waterjets become more efficient compared to conventional propeller systems. Efficiency benefits are due to… • No appendage drag – the waterjet intake sits flush with the hull bottom without struts, propeller shafts, rudders or any elements protruding beneath the hull to increase hull resistance, particularly as speed increases. • Thrust generated by a waterjet is parallel to the direction of travel. For many propeller systems the shaft is angled down and thrust is generated in the direction of the shaft, so only a component of the total thrust...

The HamiltonJet Difference Performance High speed performance and efficiency – advanced impeller and intake designs provide peak efficiency and performance over a wide speed range. Low speed performance – high thrust at low speeds ensures excellent station-keeping, bollard pull, load carrying and manoeuvring. Acceleration – ability to apply full power at lower speeds ensures fast acceleration for patrol boats, rescue craft, pilot boats and recreational vessels. CONTROL Steering control – HamiltonJet’s JT steering system out-performs all others, reducing thrust losses when steering to give tighter...

HamiltonJet Features All hydraulic components are mounted inboard where they are protected from corrosion and marine growth. The integral JHPU hydraulic pump and circuits are set up and tested in the factory prior to dispatch. No need for additional pumps and plumbing to be fitted.

Impeller race is lined with a replaceable stainless steel wear-ring to protect the housing when operating in silt-laden water. Transom seal plate bolted to transom. Split-duct ahead/astern deflector diverts water down and to each side to prevent recirculation and maximise both reverse and lateral thrust. JT steering nozzle reduces thrust losses when turning. Aluminium anodes provide extensive internal and external cathodic protection. Integral hydraulic oil cooler. Aluminium construction offers best mix of light weight, strength, corrosion resistance and cost. All internal moving and wearing...

HM Series Dimensions The HM series comprises a range of highly efficient waterjet units suitable for propelling craft at speeds ranging from zero to up to 50 knots and typically of length between 20 and 60 metres.

HM Series Power / RPM Curves Note: The rpm ranges shown are for the impeller options which will give best cavitation performance. Please consult HamiltonJet if this range is not suitable. RPM (at Waterjet) Jet Model Max Intermittent Power (skW) Input rpm range Max Continuous Power (skW) Input rpm range NOTE: Input rpm are subject to suitable cavitation limits. The lower rpm figure is always preferred. Higher power inputs will restrict the input rpm range. Left: New pilot boats in The Netherlands each use twin HamiltonJet HM651 waterjets.

HM Series Control Systems All HM series waterjets incorporate HamiltonJet’s JT steering nozzle to optimise both steering efficiency and delivery of propulsive thrust. Compared with other waterjet steering systems, the JT nozzle provides outstanding steering response at all boat speeds. This is particularly noticeable at low speeds due to the absence of a central “deadband”. The design reduces nozzle flow disturbance, resulting in lower energy losses and minimal loss of forward thrust when steering. These factors mean higher overall efficiency through improved course-keeping and, coupled with...
