The Ultimate in Waterjet Sophistication

WATERJETS WITHOUT COMPROMISEHTX Series: the next generation of Hamilton waterjets. This ground breaking series is the culmination of our vast experience fitting 60,000 waterjets into vessels around the globe over the last seven decades. All our HTX jets feature new hydrodynamics and advanced materials for redefined performance, enhanced durability and even easier installation. HTX waterjets perform better across the board. With HTX there is no need to compromise.

PERFORMANCE It has always been our vision to design waterjets that deliver the best possible high speed efficiency while still performing outstandingly at low speeds. The HTX range delivers exactly that, with major improvements at both ends of the speed range: High Speed performance The HTX series delivers between 5% and 7% more thrust at higher speeds. HTX jets are also capable of achieving speeds in excess of 55 knots when matched with suitable engines and hull design. All our waterjets utilise low-loss steering systems which save fuel when course keeping and minimise speed loss during...

DURABILITY Our products work as hard as the vessels they power. Corrosion Resistant Through careful material selection, refined anode layout and optimised coating systems, we have achieved up to 10x greater corrosion resistance in challenging brackish waters. To improve service levels, we’ve extended the internal anode life to two years, which means work can be easily aligned with other scheduled maintenance. Optimised Steering Across the range, HTX waterjets all feature new and improved steering systems. They deliver high precision, minimise performance loss in turns and deliver lower...

HTX features a compact inboard footprint, narrow jet-spacing and low-profile design. Waterjet Installation The compact size of the entire HTX series means all models are capable of being installed through the transom late in the build reducing overall vessel installation costs. The fully integrated hydraulics and controls use space efficiently and ease incorporation into any platform. Powertrain Compatibility HTX is compatible with a diverse range of engines from global manufacturers. Our wide range of impeller ratings allow optimal engine and gearbox selection, and in some cases...

HTX NEXT GENERATION FEATURES Our newly optimised mixed flow design increases high speed efficiency for speeds of up to 55 knots (vessel dependent). This delivers greater bollard pull for better position holding capability, manoeuvrability and acceleration. Improved hydraulic sealing Prevents contamination damage and extends seal pack life. Improved steering systems More precise manoeuvring, minimised performance loss in turns and lower loads at the helm. New intake & screen design The new aerofoil shaped screen bars improve overall waterjet efficiency. Smoothed flow passage Thoughtfully...

CASE STUDY Workboat Kystverket 1000 Kystverket is a fast, rigid, specially developed workboat. Built by Maritime Partners it was designed in cooperation with the Norwegian Coastal Authority (NCA). This versatile, offshore workboat carries three crew members and is powered by a single HamiltonJet HTX30. A conservative speed prediction for this vessel with HTX30 was 30 knots at 600hp, but it actually achieved 36 knots at this power. The top speed at 650hp was 38 knots, well exceeding the customer’s expectations. VESSEL SPECIFICATIONS Service: Workboat Location: Norway Length: 10.3 metres...
